Clockwork Orange, Suburbia, repo Man.?
Check out the Repo Man soundtrack (Iggy Pop, Black Flag, Circle Jerks,
Burning Sensations, Fear, Suicidal Tendancies, Plugz, Juicy Bananas)
I think I cut my "punk teeth" on the Repo Man soundtrack! (in fact, most
of Emilio Estevez's early work had great music in them, although I'm not
sure how much is available as a soundtrack.
what do you think ?
Well, there's both of those considerations, but there's also the fact that
it's about having to work shitty jobs and how to deal with that. There's
the scene where Emilio quits his job in the grocery store, for example,
plus dealing with being a repo man, which is one of the scummiest jobs you
can have.
oh yeah, just because a person dresses liek a punk in a movie doesn't make
them punk.
I have to disagree BIG TIME here. It seems like a lot of people wanna
judge a movies punkness by it's soundtrack rather than what it's about.
Clockwork Orange, like 1984, is a movie about everything that punks should
be fighting against! A society that basically drugs it's citizens into
passivity, while encouraging a lawless band of youths so the government
can have a form of martial law. A society that tries to use behavioral
control that is brainwashing, and making a public spectacle out of the
whole thing. A society where the thugs and cops are interchangeable. It's
not anti-society per se, but more a warning about how the clamor for "law
and order" can get out of hand and lead to overbearing government. I'm not
sure you can point to any character as being a "punk" though, since Alex
and the rest of the droogs were basically tools of the government as well.
