"Rockers" film review
1.- How does Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace from Rockers compare to Ivan Martin from The Harder They Come?
Well I think that Leroy was different from Ivan. They have a lot of similarities in their stories. The two of them have to overcome the mafia in the music industry and they are seduced by the crime lords to work for them. They get involved in the organizations but in different ways and with different purposes. Ivan was always a man that wanted the top of the world, and always thought about himself only. Leroy was a justice man, and when he found out that the mafia stole his bike and many other stuff from the people of the town, he decided to make justice on his own (with the help of a lot of people). With that being said, Leroy is a great character and he is admirable, in comparison with Ivan Martin.
2.- What is your favorite scene from the film? Why?
My favorite scene of the film is the one that shows dirty Harry and Horsemouth in the Key Largo Beach, after Leroy gets his bike stolen. I like a lot this scene because dirty Harry sings what looks like an improvised lyric, that has a lot of meaning with what was happening in Jamaica and Leroy's own life. He sings "You try to fool the black population, by telling them that Jah Jah (did, or hates, I can't tell), I know that Jah no did", speaking about how the colonists were constantly trying to fool people, and how the people knew that their situation was the colonists fault.
3.- Did you like/dislike the film? Why/Why Not?
I liked the movie in general. The music is really good, the cast is actually from Jamaica and it is filmed there too so you can feel the ambient of the places Leroy visits. I think it's attractive how the director showed the jamaican folk. It showed the culture of that people, having a lot of scenes were the music was almost a ritual, a way maybe to speak to their gods and to speech what they can't in the streets.
