Description

[Machine Translation] Sticking to his convictions and making sense. The explosive life of Joan Jett, the icon of rock 'n' roll, who was rejected by 23 major record companies and faced various prejudices, discriminations, preconceptions, and absurdities head-on. --She was a core member of The Runaways, a 5-piece female band that had a big hit in Japan in the late 70's. After the band broke up, she continued her solo career as "Joan Jett & The Blackhearts". Joan Jett is a female guitarist and a symbol of rock 'n' roll, whose song "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" spent seven consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard charts and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015. In 95 minutes, the documentary film "Joan Jett: Bad Reputation" spans a half-century of her life, from her childhood to the present day. The film also depicts the history of The Runaways, including their discovery by the eccentric Los Angeles producer Kim Fowley, their concert in Japan that was greeted with Beatles-like enthusiasm, and their breakup triggered by the Japanese media, as well as the anguish she experienced as a woman in the American music industry, which was a completely male-dominated society. The film also depicts the history of The Runaways, including performances and the breakup of the band that led to the Japanese media, and reveals Joan Jett's struggle to "keep playing pure rock 'n' roll" in the midst of the harsh music industry. In addition to Jett, the film features Sandy West and Shelley Curley (The Runaways), Iggy Pop, Don Boles (The Germs), Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day), Adam Horowitz (Beastie Boys), Kathleen Hanna (Bikini), and Kathleen Hanna (The Bikini). Kathleen Hanna ( Bikini Kill ), Ian McKay ( Fugazi ), Pete Townsend ( The Who ), Miley Cyrus, Alison Mosshart ( The Kills ), Michael J. Fox, Kristen Stewart ( ), Michael J. Fox, Kristen Stewart (who played Joan Jett in the movie "Runaways"), and many others. The reason for the large number of appearances from the punk rock world is that Joan Jett is the producer of GERMS' classic album "(GI)", which is one of the most important albums in the history of American punk and American hardcore. The book also tells the story of the 1993 rape and murder of Mia Zapata, the female vocalist of the Ohio band The Gits, for which Joan Jett released an album with the remaining members and donated all royalties to the investigation, leading to the arrest of the murderer 11 years later in 2004. The film follows the life of a musician who has battled adversity for half a century and lived to fulfill his pure purpose, and presents the importance and beauty of pushing forward in any situation without pandering to a world that does not agree with you. The purity and directness of Joan Jett's desire to play the guitar is sure to leave something important in the viewer's heart.

ジョーン・ジェット/バッド・レピュテーション / 洋画

信念を貫き、筋を通す。メジャーレコード会社23社から拒否、さまざまな偏見や差別、先入観、不条理と真っ向から向き合う不屈の挑戦者=ロックンロールの象徴ジョーン・ジェットの爆裂半生。――70年代末に日本でも大ヒットした女性5人組バンド、ザ・ランナウェイズの中心メンバーであり、解散後は"ジョーン・ジェット&ザ・ブラックハーツ"としてソロ活動を続け、「アイ・ラヴ・ロックンロール」がビルボードチャート7週連続1位を獲得、2015年にはロックの殿堂入りを果たした、女性ギタリストでありロックンロールの象徴ともいわれるジョーン・ジェット。その幼少期から現代まで、約半世紀にわたる半生を95分間で描き切るドキュメンタリー映画が『ジョーン・ジェット/バッド・レピュテーション』。ロサンゼルスの変態プロデューサー、キム・フォウリーに発掘され、ビートルズ並みの熱狂で迎えられた来日公演、そして日本メディアがきっかけとなった解散の顛末など、ザ・ランナウェイズの歴史も描きつつ、完全なる男社会だった米国音楽業界で女性であるがゆえに経験してきた苦悩と、ソロ活動以降のバンドメンバーであり盟友のケニー・ラグーナ (THE BLACKHEARTS)とのレーベル運営など、厳しい音楽業界のなかで"純粋にロックンロールを演奏し続ける"ことでもがいてきたジョーン・ジェットの姿が炙り出されていく。出演には本人のほか、サンディ・ウェストとシェリー・カーリー (ザ・ランナウェイズ)、イギ―・ポップ、ドン・ボールズ (ジャームス)、ビリー・ジョー・アームストロング (グリーン・デイ)、アダム・ホロヴィッツ (ビースティ・ボーイズ)、キャスリーン・ハンナ (ビキニ・キル)、イアン・マッケイ (フガジ)、ピート・タウンゼンド (ザ・フー)、マイリー・サイラス、アリソン・モシャ―ト (ザ・キルズ)、マイケル・J・フォックス、クリステン・スチュワート (映画『ランナウェイズ』でジョーン・ジェット役を演じた)等、錚々たる面々。パンク・ロック界からの出演が多いのはジョーン・ジェットがアメリカン・パンク、アメリカン・ハードコアの歴史上最重要作ともいえるGERMSの名盤『(GI)』のプロデューサーであるがゆえ。またオハイオ州出身のバンド、ギッツの女性ボーカル、ミア・サパタが93年に強姦され殺害された事件においてはジョーン・ジェットが残されたメンバーとアルバムをリリース、印税を全額捜査の資金に寄付し、11年後の2004年に犯人逮捕にこぎつけたエピソードも綴られている。半世紀にわたって逆境と戦い、自身の純粋な目的を成し遂げるべく生きてきた一人のミュージシャンの生き様を追った本作は、どんな状況に陥っても自分が賛同できない世界に迎合せずに突き進むことの重要性と美しさを提示する。ジョーン・ジェットの"ギターを弾きたい"という純粋さと直向きさは、観る者の心に大事な何かを残してくれるに違いない。
