Lee Brilleaux-An Officer and a Gentleman(Will Birch)



Finally finished watching Oil City Confidential last night. That movie really managed to shatter my confidence in my english, at least 'English' english. I could understand Shirley Brilleaux, Lee's wife,  just fine(she being an American), but when the other cast start talking I was sometimes fairly lost. Just cant managed to grab the englishman pronunciation and slang when they're talking fast. Maybe need a couple more viewing to fully understand it. I need an english sub for this, badly.

The movie is really entertaining, though the last 20 minutes or so can be quite sad i think. There is this one shot of Lee's famous white suit(though not quite white) on a hanger in an ads in NME that i personally think is quite moving. And this short scene with Lady Diana in it, although i'm not quite sure what the guy was talking in the background but i'm assuming the princess had watched Dr Feelgood a couple of time.

There are also some rocking clips of live show in it, namely when they told the story of how Wilko pose his guitar like a machine gun in the song 'Riot In Cell Block No 9'. I did a research and found that it is from the 1975 Going Back Home DVD, live in Southend Kursaal. So here is the link, i'm thinking it would be the perfect complement for the already rocking documentary.

Oil City Confidential

"The story of Dr Feelgood, four men in cheap suits who crashed out of Canvey Island in the early '70s, sandpapered the face of rock'n'roll, leaving all that came before a burnt-out ruin - four estuarine John-the-Baptists to Johnny Rotten's anti-Christ. Taking London by storm, they sped through Europe and conquered the UK with No 1 chart success, before imploding just as punk was born and America beckoned with open arms. Contributions from members of The Clash, Blondie and The Sex Pistols join Dr Feelgood with collaborators Jools Holland and Alison Moyet to tell the story of Canvey, '70s England and the greatest local band in the world."-IMDB

Never heard of Dr Feelgood? Shame on you, mate. Why, this is the band that had a hit-n-run with Mother Nature, and she bore him Punk Rock. This is the third entry of director Julian Temple's Brit-band documentary, a prequel, of his 2000's The Filth and Fury(Sex Pistols) and 2007's Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten. Come, i even throw in the OST for this.
