The first time I saw the trailer for Be Kind Rewind I got super excited. My first reaction to it was, yes a movie with an awesome story that will inspire many a person's creativity, hopefully. My second reaction was YES A NEW MICHEL GONDRY FILM! I have been a fan of Michel Gondry ever since I first saw Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Science of Sleep. Be Kind Rewind has that DIY look that you would expect from a Gondry film. At times the camera seams to be on Jack Black just hoping that he does something crazy like in the scene where Jerry and Mike give their newly "sweded" rendition of Ghostbusters to Mia Farrow's character, the camera seams to be on Jack Black for a very long time, but in other parts of the film we get just the right amount of jack black. Mos Def's character is well done as well, he is a different character one that he doesn't play often he is more of a nervous guy then the calm cool guys that Mos usually plays. Michel Gondry makes you feel like the film takes place real life but it is also a place that you know doesn't exist even though you want it to. The sense of community that Gondry picked up while working on Black Party is present in this film and helps to create the warm feeling the Be Kind Rewind projects. If you haven't seen this movie GO NOW!
