So I watched better living through circuitry, finally... I have been waiting like 7 years to see it, why didn't I go buy it? hell, maybe i'm too cheap, and I couldnt find it to rent.
This film is a documentary of the rave culture, it interviews everyone, from ravers, DJs, artists, promotors, ambulance drivers, cops, etc... and gave kind of an inside look of the whole culture. One thing that I really liked about the movie is the fact how it points out the government and the media and how they completely expose the mose negative side of the culture. One thing I found interesting was when they were talking about the newspaper aticles.
The articles usually portray the scene as a place to do drugs, with kids overdosing and whatnot. Now what do you think that will do besides encourage hatred against the culture? how about making people think it is a good place to get drugs and do drugs. Then you have a bunch of people that can easily bring problems to the culture... only to hope that maybe some of them will open their eyes to other things besides drugs.
Basically the whole movie has one message, and that message was clearly exposed as how the culture is about the music, being yourself, and coming together. That is what the culture is about, and that is why I love it. For anyone who have been a raver, if you watch this movie, you will just carry a smile on your face I believe, because it really does a good job exposing the true backbone of the culture. And those who have never been to a rave, maybe for once you can see what it is about besides what your read or hear on the news.
Anyway, rent it if you can, or borrow it, it is a great film and really well put together (and they interviewed many good artists like keoki, crystal method, etc...)
peace.
