Film series: The Flight of the Conchords

New Zealand, yes, like The Lord of the Rings!. New Zealand, if you require little love. New Zealand, but farther away as Scotland. New Zealand, just 18 hours of flight. What had occurred New Zealand before 2001? What gave us that little island twice before Peter Jackson dared to take there filming The Lord of the Rings ? I remember nothing. And New Zealanders themselves seem to be aware of and take very little seriously themselves, or conversely, must hate Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie (who, incidentally, came out in The Return of the King as a companion Arwen). Who are these two characters? Well, Jemaine Clement and Bret Mackenzie, or what is, Flight of the Conchords. The four slogans that have since the beginning of the post are some of the hilarious messages that sell the New Zealand government tourism in their country. Or at least that would have us believe Bret and Jemaine, Jemaine and Bret, accompanied by the equally brilliant Murray, probably the worst band representative (and deputy cultural attache in New York New Zealand) in the entire history of mankind. The Conchords are two small ants that come to the big city is like thinking that all the people, but nothing more than ridicule someone. Because the feeling New Zealand is raised brilliantly, as they are the last monkey in everything and always the butt of jokes of Australians, or Dave, the geek who says that living with roommates, and not with their parents if they have photos him seem small and far, and claiming that New Zealand is a language that "speaks improvising, without a specific language." And yes, his prime minister is so dunce or more as the protagonists. If John Ford lived in our time working in television, and if you do a comedy, probably would The Flight of the Conchords by strong patriotic feelings he has.

What is Flight of the Conchords ? It is difficult to specify in a word, indeed, it is difficult to specify in a single sentence. You could say that going on (not) run a couple of amateur musicians who have decided to make the Americas and take them seriously. They have talent, are not attractive (at least without Art Garfunkel wig) and both share house, bedroom ... and at some point even a girlfriend. But let trouble apart and try to define how it goes. Bret is an innocent, guitarist, music also has interesting tasks, like building a bicycle helmet that resembles your hair. Jemaine is also a kind innocent, bassist, also is also very interesting tasks, such as ... Sleep? We are therefore faced with two guys who, separated, do not know how to behave, since we are talking about the same person. One could almost say that both have Asperger syndrome, because his ability to relate and empathize with the world is nonexistent except for themselves. I am convinced that if one cogiese a cold, the other will feel too. Two absolute losers who give concerts in elevators due to Murray Hewitt. The latter is essential to understand why we have two absolute losers as stars of the show. Work in a small office at the consulate in New Zealand, is manic and spent all his savings trying to get their kids in a position to give a concert (do not remember saying Central Park, but a downtown park ) and not to give them ideas and advice totally out of place.

And then there's Mel. Mel, as Kenneth on 30 Rock , is one of those minor characters with no apparent importance, but if we try to imagine the series without them we realize that not be the same. It's the big fan (rather than single fan) from Flight of the Conchords who collects all the merchandising that comes from them, which goes to all his concerts, which rings constantly with Bret and Jemaine and even reaches transvesting her husband to look like Bret. It is, in short, the classic hysterical fanatic he removes his shirt in the middle of a concert, and teaches her tits. And it's out there find the key to understanding Flight of the Conchords. A very small rock smaller. New Zealand rocking. With all the topics seen from the point most deviant, the groupies, drugs, alcohol, the damage to hotels, false social awareness, love songs (which will sing anthology Coco, Brett's first girlfriend) ... all It is here that ridicules a caustic rocker schemes. The spectral appearances of David Bowie, Art Garfunkel clown impersonators and classic rockers have here a hole, and without forgetting the little gems of each chapter: the songs. As if we plantasemos to a musical, at specified times, and without the wait, Bret and Jemaine breaks into a song that pays tribute to the different musical styles, from reggaeton (Do you write that?) The rock of Bowie, through ochentena music and synthesizers and rap which offends other rappers. With a choreography that blended genius and absurd in a gorgeous, and lyrics that would come from any academic mad musical, stimulating parentheses represent where talent is wasted and bad milk and uplifting Flight of the Conchords to the category of surreal madness.
