The Nerve Interview: It Might Get Loud Director Davis Guggenheim | Nerve Entertainment 10/11/09 7:59 PM The Nerve Interview: It Might Get Loud director Davis Guggenheim | Nerve Entertainment 10/11/09 7:59 PM PERSONALS | RSS | HELP | SITE MAP | ADVERTISE ON NERVE FEATURES ADVICE ENTERTAINMENT PHOTOGRAPHY BLOGS DATING CONFESSIONS 1 Aug 11th, 2009 With It Might Get Loud, director Davis Guggenheim wanted to tell the personal stories of three guitar legends from different generations: Jack White from the White Stripes, The Edge from U2, and Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin. Guggenheim, who directed the 2007 global-warming doc An Inconvenient Truth, wanted to stay away from typical rock-documentary tactics. It Might Get Loud has no rock critics, no ex-girlfriends, and no narration. Instead Guggenheim focuses on why these three write and play the way they do and how they developed their personal styles. Guggenheim wanted the three to open up — and they did. Jimmy Page plays air guitar while listening to music that influenced him as a kid, Jack White writes an original song on camera, and The Edge talks about how he drives everyone crazy trying to get the music in his head to come out of the amps. The movie brings the three together on a soundstage to share stories, show one another their songs, and play. Nerve spoke with Guggenheim about the men behind the legends. — Emily Wilson You won an Oscar for An Inconvenient Truth. After that, why did you choose to do a movie about the electric guitar? I just make movies about people that fascinate me. The next one could be about an archeologist or I don’t know, a proctologist. Al Gore was a fascinating character to me. I love these guitarists. They changed my life. I fell in love to this music, so I want to know how they wrote this music and how they became these people. What separates It Might Get Loud from other rock documentaries? There are a few that are wonderful, but usually rock documentaries build towards a car crash or a girlfriend breaking up the band or a drug overdose, or they talk about going into the studio for the third album and you hear the narrator say, “And then music changed forever.” I’m sure when Rembrandt was alive, he had a cult of personality. We do that with our rock stars. Now we look at Rembrandt and we say, “This is how he used shape and form and color.” I hear “Going to California,” and it moves me. It moves me to tears, and I’m like, I need to know. The same way I want to know how Hemingway wrote a book, I want to know how this song was written. Do you remember when you first heard these bands? I grew up not liking Led Zeppelin. I liked U2. I was the same age as U2, and they came out as a band that was against these white-boy blues bands, these endless indulgent guitar solos and overt sexuality. Edge says when he saw Spinal Tap, he didn’t laugh, he wept, because it was so close to the truth. And it’s true, there was a point where — it wasn’t Led Zeppelin as much it was the Led Zeppelin imitators — big-hair rock got grotesque. So I didn’t like Led Zeppelin when I grew up because it had just been played so much. And then ten years later, I really got to understand it, and these guys are great. I listen to Led Zeppelin more than anything right now. It’s interesting how some music has legs and some doesn’t. My kids don’t like the Stones. They don’t like other big famous rock bands. They love Led Zeppelin because it still speaks to them. And Jack White’s music is unbelievable. If I were to pick my favorite artist now working, it would be him. What were some of your favorite moments during shooting? The most vulnerable moment, I think, is Jack White writing a song on camera. He talked about how songs need to be written quickly and without any kind of preciousness. So I said, “Great, let’s spend the day. I’ll http://entertainment.nerve.com/2009/08/11/the-nerve-interview-it-might-get-loud-director-davis-guggenheim/ Page 1 of 4 The Nerve Interview: It Might Get Loud director Davis Guggenheim | Nerve Entertainment 10/11/09 7:59 PM be on one side of the room and from beginning to end, you write a song.” He picked up a pencil and started scribbling lyrics, and started figuring out the chords, and by the end, he recorded the song on a reel-to-reel and he was done. I’d never seen that before, but he’s saying, “I’m taking this risk. This song could suck, but I’m gonna write it.” Pages: 1 2 SHARE THIS ARTICLE:  Comments ( 1 Comment ) First heard about this movie through a friend who was freaking out about it.

  • Recruiting Al Gore
    RECRUITING AL GORE For years, he was introduced as the “next President of the United States” -- but in the wake of a personally devastating and controversial defeat in the 2000 election, Al Gore did something entirely unexpected. He hit the road, not in search of exile, but as a traveling showman. His “show” is a non-partisan, multimedia presentation that reveals, via an original mix of humor, cartoons and convincing scientific evidence, the resonant effects that global warming is wreaking upon our planet. It is also an arresting, inspirational “call to arms,” pointing out the opportunity that stands before the nation to put American ingenuity and spirit to work in attacking this crisis. With little fanfare, Gore has presented his show more than 1,000 times in cramped school auditoriums and hotel conference rooms in cities large and small, hoping to propel audiences to make a difference in what might otherwise turn out to be the biggest catastrophe of human history. Two people who became entranced by Gore’s show are leading environmental activist Laurie David and movie producer Lawrence Bender. David hosted two of Gore’s sold-out presentations in New York and Los Angeles, where it had a transforming effect on her. “I felt like Al Gore had become the Paul Revere of our times,” says David, “traveling around the country calling out this vital warning that we really can’t ignore.” She also realized that Gore faced a daunting uphill battle in getting his message out into the zeitgeist. “Having researched this subject for some 40 years, nobody understands the issue better than Al Gore and nobody can explain it more clearly and compellingly to the lay person,” notes David.

In the episode, Betty is dancing with her husband at their wedding when the couple is suddenly interrupted by Adele.

  • A Purim Reader
    Consider the Grogger: A Purim Reader 18forty.org/articles/consider-the-grogger-a-purim-reader Consider: Why do we use a grogger? In a world in which it sometimes feels like everything makes just a bit too much noise, why do we use these most annoying of noisemakers? In David Zvi Kalman’s award winning piece, “The Strange and Violent History of the Ordinary Grogger,” Kalman traces the history of this loud yet under-considered instrument of merry noise-making. As you might (not) expect, the grogger has a long history in a less than traditionally Puriminian context: celebrations of the burning of Judas. Judas, betrayer of a famous close friend of his (and namesake to a recent movie), has often been a stand-in for antisemitic anger over history. In Kalman’s words: The Burning of Judas was never officially sanctioned by the Roman Catholic or Orthodox Church, but it was common practice in Europe until the 20th century and is still frequently performed in Latin America. While details vary by location, the basics are the same: An effigy of Judas is first hanged, then burned. It was in the context of this ceremony that the crotalus first morphed from church object to child object, as children responded to the flaming effigy by twirling their rattles in celebration. It still happens today; you can find images of a Czech anti- Judas rattle procession. Early on, the rattle’s distinctive sound became part of the ritual. As elsewhere, people understood it to be a violent sound; some compared it to the sound of nails being driven into Jesus’ hands.

What you heard in the opening was of course Eminem in “Lose Yourself ” from the soundtrack to the movie “8 Mile”. Now, whatever kind of music you like, whether it’s hip-hop, heavy metal, rock or pop, there’ll hopefully be something for you in this program – because there’s so much good music out there. You need a piece of paper and a pencil. I’m looking for a name with 11 letters, which make up the answer. Just write the numbers 1 to 11 on the left-hand side of your paper. And as always, I will play parts of several songs. Each part is a clue to the answer. The clues may be the title of a song, the name of a group or a singer, and so on. You may not be able to answer every single question, but you’ll still have a chance to get the final answer, which I’ll give, at the end of the show. So, let’s get started with the clue for number 3. The members of Outlandish have different ethnic backgrounds – Morocco, Pakistan and Honduras. But the band really comes from Denmark. For number 3, I’m looking for the title of their first super-hit.

Written and produced by Jack White, the song consists of distorted vocals, a simple drum rhythm and a bass-like riff created by playing guitar through the step-change effect. The song was written in the charts of many countries, and its success contributed to the popularity of the White Stripes and the movement of the revival of garage rock. In addition to praising his riff and drumbeat, critics rated Seven Nation Army as one of the best songs of the 2000s decade. It won Best Rock Song at the 46th Annual Grammy Awards, and the music video for director Alex and Martin's song won Best Editing in a Video at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards.

  • Donald Trump and the White Stripes
    1 Natalie Edwards IMC 452 - POV #2 Rewrite November 1, 2016 Trump and the White Stripes: Is it ethical for people, including presidential candidates, to use content without getting permission from the original artist? According to Kate Feldman from tHe New York Daily News, on Tuesday, October 4, two former band members were reunited after finding out that a video containing one of their songs was released to promote Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign. As a result, controversy arose because these artists did not give Trump permission to use tHeir song, wHicH clearly and unetHically violates tHe artist’s rigHts and may be copyrigHt infringement. Jack and Meg WHite, former band members of tHe WHite Stripes, stated immediately that they are “disgusted” by tHe use of tHeir “Seven Nation Army” song in a Donald Trump campaign video (Feldman). On Facebook and Twitter, the White Stripes and Third Man Records, which is Jack White’s current record label, released a statement explaining that they are not affiliated witH Trump, and tHat tHey do not want Trump’s beliefs and actions to reflect tHe band itself. According to Carly Ledbetter from The Huffington Post, at first, it was unclear if the video was an official Trump campaign video. But, a spokesperson from Pitchfork stated that the video was actually a fan-made clip entitled “Trump TriumpHant.” The video was posted on YouTube by a user witH tHe account name of “God-Emperor Trump” (Ledbetter). THe now-deleted fan-video featured a series of Trump rally clips witH tHe song from tHe band’s 2003 “ElepHant” album playing in the background (Feldman).

  • A Review of Waiting for Superman Directed by Davis Guggenheim
    ________________________________________________________________________ Waiting for Balance: A Review of Waiting for Superman Directed by Davis Guggenheim Paramount Vantage and Participant Media, 2010. Approximately 90 minutes. ________________________________________________________________________ Reviewed by Joseph Flynn, Northern Illinois University Introduction Waiting for Superman is the latest documentary by the Academy Award winning director Davis Guggenheim. Guggenheim also directed An Inconvenient Truth, the Al Gore documentary about climate change and global warming. What made An Inconvenient Truth such a masterwork was that it presented stark and incontrovertible information about the destruction of our environment and further challenged the viewers to do something about it. Waiting for Superman follows a similar formula. It presents the viewer with an incredible amount of troubling information about our public schools and models of seemingly progressive advocates for change. The data represented is also properly cited on-screen, differentiating it from personal polemics like Michael Moore’s Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9-11. It concludes with a challenge to act for the best interests of our nation’s youths; the end credits in- clude a web site where viewers can go for ideas. That makes it difficult to speak negatively about the film, but upon a closer analysis we find that most of the information presented in the film is over-generalized and highly debatable. The problem with the film, ultimately, is that it is true and false, comprehensive and incomplete. Framing the Film The film begins with Geoffrey Canada, a dynamic educator and social activist who, as foun- der and Chief Executive Officer of the Harlem Children’s Zone, has created significant success for the community.

  • 7. Challenging Waiting for Superman Through Detournement 1
    JAMES TRIER 7. CHALLENGING WAITING FOR SUPERMAN THROUGH DETOURNEMENT 1 Waiting for Superman (2010) is a film directed by Davis Guggenheim, who won an Academy Award for the documentary An Inconvenient Truth (2006). Billing itself on its DVD cover as a “groundbreaking feature film that provides an engaging and inspiring look at public education in the United States,” Waiting for Superman received mostly glowing reviews in the mainstream media, won several film festival awards, and Guggenheim and the film’s heroes have been celebrated guests on dozens of news channels and talk shows, along with receiving high praise from President Obama, Bill Clinton, and other powerful political luminaries. However, the film has also drawn some criticism from reviewers in the popular press, from teachers, and from academics in the field of Education. In this chapter, I describe a pedagogical project that involved preservice teachers in responding to Waiting for Superman , and then reacting to a video detournement —i.e., a countertext—that challenged the main arguments of the documentary. The detournement caused several students to reconsider the accuracy and believability of the film’s main claims and arguments. THE TWO MAIN NARRATIVES OF WAITING FOR SUPERMAN Waiting for Superman comprises two intertwining narratives. One concerns five kids who have their hearts and minds set on attending charter schools, where they believe they will receive superior educations than from their neighborhood schools. Of the five kids, four are children of color whose low-income families live in urban neighborhoods: kindergartener Bianca lives with her mother in Harlem; first-grader Francisco lives with his mother in the Bronx; fifth-grader Anthony lives with his grandmother in Washington, D.C.; and fifth-grader Daisy lives with her mother and father in East Los Angeles.
