When I saw that this documentary would have an advanced screening only a short ride from my residence, I rushed to put it in my calendar. Of course the answer on my question was cleared through the 95 min. Excellent packaging and it played just fine in our Blu-ray player. There where conflicts constantly and they where about to lose their magic. A film not to be missed. The largest electronic tour in history, selling over 1 million tickets in one week.
Most recently the film played to a rapt Miami audience during Miami Music Week 2014. House music has changed so much over the years and it is really nice to see an inside look at your favourite artists getting so big and it's cool to see how that affected their relationships as well. It is raw, emotional and telling of a group of three guys who gave such a gift to the world. There were shots of them trying to speak to one another, even make small talk, without reciprocation. In the film this is captured in a great way, while showing the different styles that Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso and Steve Angello have. But the business side of things was failing so heavily the did not want it to affect their personal lives. Why end something so good just as they were exponentially becoming more popular? I know their singles, of course, but I think I would feel out of place at one of their shows.
The film maps out three of the biggest stars in a scene which has gripped youth the world over and the psychology of the band. The documentary let us all in , in their tours around the world and backstage moments, their families and a bit about themselves. Also, their friendship was already in steak after a while and we can tell watching the film. I wanted to leave feeling good about this group who had just left at the top of stardom and instead I felt like the whole film was their way of personally breaking up with their fans. Also included is the story of and some of the sessions which created their most successful single Don't You Worry Child, which was the end-cap performance of their shows. What I did love were the scenes from their show and the scenes with their families.
A few bits are repeated from the previous documentary Take One , but the main-theme 'one last tour' makes it very different. It was beautiful, emotional, engaging, but it was a spectacle. There were shots of them silently eating dinner, sitting at the same table, words unspoken. The sheer degree of devotion that fans had for these three men — they never had a complete album release, and they only had eight releases over a six year career. Let me start by saying that the scenes displaying pieces of their shows are amazing. Item came packaged perfectly, shipping was fast. And so they chose to end it all.
When you near the end of a relationship, you begin to see all the tiny flaws you were so blind to see in the beginning. Things had somewhat come full circle, as their career as Swedish House Mafia came to an end they could focus on themselves and their solo careers. This is not only applicable to the music, but also personal lives and role in the Swedish House Mafia collaboration. . What I got instead was a depressing documentary about how these people couldn't sit down and have an honest conversation.
This is the best film I have ever seen about a music group. At least, I thought… The energy and community that was demonstrated at every single one of their shows was staggering. Director Christian Larson Take One captures their final world tour which became the largest worldwide electronic music tour in history with over 1,000,000 tickets sold in just one week. Not only did they have to focus on their musical careers, as they grew up they took on other responsibilities. The cinematography was superb, filling in where words failed to display the tension, the elephant in the room. With breathtaking live moments, huge laughs and dark lows, the band start to unravel why they came to the decision to end the biggest achievement of their lives to date to save their friendship. And if you were there, you would know that feels like being robbed.
Leave The World Behind is a documentary following the worldwide phenomenon, electronic super band Swedish House Mafia, as they embark on One Last Tour before they call it quits. Now we got few answers anyway. I was left with a yearning to find out what truly went wrong between them, but the movie was unable to pinpoint that, because the elephant in the room was never addressed. They stop the exact moment where they should. Director Christian Larson captures the band in a unique fly on the wall manner as they call it quits and seek closure by going on the tour they had always dreamed of. Why this great trio had to broke up? It was like they welcomed us all into their daily days.
What that says about them is intangible; what we can infer is just as Diane said: they found themselves at the right place at the right time, and they had the skills to back it up. A music documentary following the breakup of Swedish House Mafia and their subsequent One Last Tour. The film displays an insight into this world, the psychology of the band, plus the sheer scale of the tour itself and the band's outstanding global achievements. There were beautiful moments in this film, but you still feel conflicted when you finish watching it. The film maps out three of the biggest stars in a scene which has gripped youth the world over and the psychology of the band.
You get to see a part of their personalities you would never be able to see otherwise but it is so sad how they decided to end. With both myself and Matthew Meadow being at premieres on different sides of the country, we thought it might be interesting to take this opportunity to have a somewhat lengthy conversation regarding our thoughts on the film — its merits, faults and any other interesting bits. I have mixed feelings right now. Matt: So the very first thing you see in the film is this beautiful speedboat. They party off-stage but are fully focused on delivering a unique experience for the crowd when behind the turn-tables. Diane: They each had their own agendas to fulfill. Matt: The fact of the matter was that they were still going to be friends.
Steve Angello is the swagger, individualistic character, Sebastian Ingrosso the most stable, funny guy and Axwell forms the heart and glue of the group. On the west coast, the Arclight Theater in Hollywood was having a premiere of its own. It seemed as though the trio would rather leave the world behind, sweep it under the rug, and forget the issues of the past. The film features behind the scenes footage and interviews with the band discussing the story behind why they decided to break up at the height of their popularity, set against the backdrop of performing their 50 city sold-out stadium goodbye tour last year. There were such sweet and touching scenes with their families, especially showing the struggle of keeping in contact while on tour.
