Despite the pomp and the whiff of cheese throughout, I quite enjoy me some Rattle & Hum (film). Unlike some of the others on Interference, I used to watch Rattle & Hum. I related to it, because I used to drive across North American myself, for a couple of years, with my parents... I was what they called a glorified hobo boy. So, I related to Rattle & Hum. It was great to buy the film on VHS and now it's eternally digital and all, but I wish the film could exist somewhere where I couldn't have got it. I don't know why, you know, it's just one of those things.
You're right, but we probably shouldn't lay the blame at Joanou's feet. Consider that, in fall 1987, Joanou was a 26-year-old director fresh out of film school, and U2 was the biggest rock hype in the world. I think they knew exactly what he was doing, and they were probably calling most of the shots (not literally... but, you know what I mean).

Because on first appraisal, it sounds pretty depressing! Like he's ending the album on a major downer or bum note. Which runs contrary to U2's characteristic mood of uplift.
you've got to admit, october and mothers of the disappeared are bundles of fun.Because Love is Blindness and Wake Up Dead Man are party starters?

I don't find anything remotely depressing about Love is Blindness
I agree that the live scenes are fantastic. Really, that's some impressive camera work and the band was at its peak.When I saw it in the theater I thought WTF?! I didn't really like it except for the live scenes. My most disliked part is Larry at Elvis' mansion and they are interviewing him and afterwards he takes the cue for that lame ass stare off to his right. It was so contrived. But now.....I do enjoy it every once in a while.
Characteristic meaning prevailing, not universal ffs. The mood U2 would be most associated with.

But yeah, those lingering cheeseball shots are a bit much. 1988 was U2 at their most pretentious, however (which is saying a lot!). I don't know if y'all have seen the Rattle & Hum book (yes there was a book in addition to the movie and album), but it's even cheesier than the movie.
(I did my laundry in Hell's Kitchen once, by the way.)
you were talking specificaly about album closers, suggesting Cedars was somehow unique (and ballsy)
WHAT lS THIS l DON'T EVEN
It's a joke. "Bono lied!" I think it originated in the New Album thread(s).
