『ザ・コミットメンツ』（The Commitments）は、1991年制作。ダブリンの労働者階級の人々が主人公たちなのでスラング満載。しかもダブリン訛りはあこがれを通り越してあきらめになるほど今回は強烈。 今回の映画は英語に関しては最難関の一つです。 特に仲間内での会話は怒涛のセリフが行き交っていて久しぶりに一人だけついていけない疎外感をを思い出しました。
以下のセリフ
Look, don't use your own accents. It's ride, Sally, ride. Not roid, Sally, roid.
これ！ほんとだよと心底思いました。
しかし内容に関しては熱量がすご！ バンドのメインボーカリストの”デコ”の圧倒的な歌唱力は、彼の本職がプロの歌手とだけあって英語で鬱になった小生を場外までかっ飛ばしてくれました。 そのうえ監督であるアランパーカーの世界観は土臭く混とんとしているがなぜか居心地がいい。小生にとって気取ったフレンチレストランよりも明太子お茶づけの一気食いがおいしくて落ち着くのに似た感覚です。
総評！５つ星です。この映画はまた必ず見ます。
