How We Played the Revolution
It was the year 1984 when a group of architects decided to organize a one night music band as a New Year's party joke in Kaunas, Lithuania. The joke proved to be so good that rumors about the new exciting rock band spread from lips to lips and soon their intellectual circus grew into the Rock Marches - massive events involving thousands of people - that transformed into the big meetings for Lithuanian Independence later named the Singing Revolution. This is the story about the people who raised their independence with the smiles and songs regardless of the danger of the situation.

The Age of Commercialism
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
The story is an unusual one and covers a time period that was critically important when Lithuania was fighting to restore its independence. While politicians did their thing, a bunch of rockers took off in a bus to tour the country and make music. The difference was, that they had a message that was understood by not only the young, but by the older generation as well. Their cross country journey served to bring together an entire country in its unconventional approach. Were they off the wall crazy? Some of the things they did certainly made them seem so, however, they were quite focused and inflamed masses and masses of Lithuanians to finally let loose and go for freedom in a big way - through music. The movie uses interviews intertwined with Soviet documentary footage that in some places makes you bust a gut laughing. Good story, good directing, good editing and a great film with a highly entertaining cast of characters who formed a civic foundation for a real nation to reemerge. Enjoy every bit of this clever and creative film.You'll want to watch it again as soon as you've finished to try to absorb all of the layers. It is a film to be enjoyed more than once.
