Greetings valued
Dan's Movie Report readers, across my desk comes Danger Diva, a film
with so much happening, I actually need to show my readers the
synopsis!
In
DANGER
DIVA,
audiences are taken on a dystopia style journey into the near future
with hard rock singer Devi Danger (played by Molly Sides) as she is
coerced into becoming an electronically enhanced new-music diva. Her
singing voice is used to control and energize the brains of
indoctrinated employees (also known as “Brain Cattle”) that are
being used as external processors for the advancement of corporate
high tech clients. Operating in a digital sweatshop, these “Brain
Cattle” process binary algorithms that serve as a chorus for Devi
Danger.
Yes
the plot sounds very ambitious, actually the movie is really
fantastic. Perhaps my favorite aspect of the film is the fact that it
builds slowly, after the opening concert, which is rather shall we
say aggressive, the story of Devi Danger take a more somber tone and
she has to decide if she wants an experimental surgery to enhance her
voice. Not without pitfalls, but the prospects are a strong for
success for Devi as she is served an eviction notice. That is where I
end the discussion as not want to spoil the plot.
The
acting from Molly Sides is very good, I mean being a musician she can
be expressive, of course on stage, acting is a different situation.
She handled the dialogue with ease. Plus I liked her turning
aggressive, yet maintaining passion to those she cares about. (Ed
Note: the band 'Thunderpussy” won their Supreme Court case and is
allowed to keep the name, which is correct freedom of speech, and it
protects the copyright) The thing is Molly Sides worked so hard on
this project with musical aspect and acting she deserves all the
accolades for her efforts.
Writer/Director
Robert McGinley https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0569334/?ref_=tt_ov_dr crafts an intrepid tale of despair, yet wraps it up
in a hope for the future. Although one of his influential films is
Blade Runner, this film feels more like the independent film The Gene
Generation, a really diverse tale, with many elements. What makes
this better than The Gene Generation is the fact that this story has
more elements of reality, interspersed with science fiction.
The
look of the film, including sets, costuming, and lighting and such
are very polished for an indie film, plus the opening sequence was a
rock and roll treat! Musically of course Danger Diva is top notch,
everything from score to the sound quality of the dialogue is
perfect, as it should be from a musical artist standpoint! Overall,
this aspect separates Danger Diva from many low budget films, as time
was taken to craft the world of the characters.
A
word of caution, this is one of those films, that has copious amounts
of dialogue, which is actually what I enjoy. Although I enjoy
watching the plot and action unfolding, the interaction of the
characters is of importance, even with the tech-speak, Danger Diva is
a film to be watched multiple times, on this one I watched 3 times to
formulate my review. I recommend Danger Diva to rock fans and sci fi
nerds! HAH, there I said it!
YES
this movie is GREAT, for the appropriate audience! Buy it, Danger Diva
rates an 8 out of 10!
