Eat The Rich

[Machine Translation] Just because you have money and power doesn't mean you have rights! This is a super black social rock and roll comedy that blows up all kinds of discrimination and hierarchies by cutting into the providence of this world where the incompetent become the powerful! This is the first time it's been released on disc! --In the 1980's, under the Thatcher administration, which had suppressed the punk movement by force and rebuilt the British Empire by cutting social security and the Falklands War, the British people, unable to endure the hardships of life, finally rose up! This is a scathing criticism of the world in which only a few rich people enjoy an elegant life and only the common people suffer. The catchphrase overseas is "You are what you eat! The catchphrase overseas is "You're the one who's eating! The poor, outraged by racism, sexism, classism, favoritism, and authoritarianism, take over the BASTARDS, an upscale restaurant that only the rich can afford, rename it "EAT THE RICH," and make a bloodbath of the rich! Director Peter Richardson, a member of the British comedy group "The Comic Strip" who gained attention as the post-Monty Python of "The Comic Strip", a social satire comedy show that became popular on a British popular TV station, has produced this film with a far more radical and intense satire than the Pythons. The film is a courageous and outrageous black comedy "Eat Yourself Rich," which is a fierce criticism of society, similar to the themes of George Orwell's novel "Animal Farm" and the Beatles' song "Piggies," but when it was first released, no one could follow the venom of the film and it was an unprecedented failure in the history of cinema. It is back after a 36-year absence. It has been described as a "gourmet epicurean epic", and is a heinous heresy that shines brightly in the history of gourmet films, combining "Hannibal" (Lecter version) and "Dr. Strange Love" into a hamburger steak that is over-spiced and dripping with gravy without being slow-cooked. In a recent British media list of the "Top 50 Biggest Film Failures and Follies of All Time," it was ranked 49th despite being an ultra-independent low-budget film (Michael Cimino's "Gates of Heaven" was ranked 2nd and David Lynch's "Planet of the Sand" 3rd), while historical blockbusters were listed all over the place. The film is an unprecedented socialist super-terrorist film. The executive producer is Michael White, who also directed "The Rocky Horror Show" ('75) and the music film "Urgh! The lead roles are played by Lanner Pelleray, who has broken through gender borders and is active in stage, film, television, radio, and music, and Nosher Powell, a former professional heavyweight boxer and stuntman in the 007 series and in "The Wilderness Bouncer" ('64), who plays the upper class Minister of the Interior. He is also the king of runaway rock 'n' roll. The soundtrack features the band Motorhead, the kings of rock 'n' roll and the trump card of mankind, and there is an abrupt live performance by Lemmy, the founder of rock 'n' roll incarnate and the villainous Lemmy, who also delivers a performance including dialogue. The film also features a cast of superb musicians, actors, models, writers, and artists, including Paul McCartney, Angie Bowie, Sandie Shaw, Koo Stark, Miranda Richardson, Shayne McGowan (The Pogues), Hugh Cornwell (The Stranglers), Bill Wyman (The Rolling Stones), and many more. The film features cameo appearances by musicians, actors, models, writers, and artists, and no one knows why they are in the film. No one knows why they are in the film. The content and quality of the work, the public reaction, and the treatment the work received. After several decades of aging, this film has become a must-see for all lovers of rock movies such as "Rock 'n' Roll High School," "Farewell, Light of Youth," "Spinal Tap," "The Commitments," and "School of Rock," as well as for rich and poor people everywhere. The Commitments," "School of Rock," and many others. We have no idea why this film has been revived now, 36 years after its production, but in the current situation in Japan, where the price of food, military spending, and everything else is rising, and life is becoming increasingly difficult, we can understand the feelings of the British people of the 1980s. And this film, which has made its way into the world through the medium of film without hesitation, is sure to bring something that humanity is trying to forget in this age when everything is settling down to "normal" and "average. After all these years, has the human race come closer to understanding this deadly poison, or has it moved away from it?

金と権力があるからといって、おまえらに権利はない! 無能な者が権力者になるという、この世の摂理に切り込み、あらゆる差別とヒエラルキーを吹き飛ばして散った、スーパーブラック社会派ロックンロールコメディ超怪作! まさかの初ディスク化! ――1980年代、パンク・ムーブメントを力ずくで押さえこみ社会保障カットとフォークランド戦争で大英帝国を再建した剛腕サッチャー政権下、生活苦に耐えきれなくなったイギリス国民がついに立ち上がった! 一部の金持ちだけが優雅な生活を謳歌し、庶民ばかりが苦しむ世の中を痛烈批判。海外のキャッチコピーは「おまえが食べているのはおまえだ!」。人種差別、性差別、階級差別、選民主義、権威主義に怒りを爆発させ、反旗をひるがえす大貧民たちが、大金持ちしか入れない超高級レストラン"BASTARDS"を乗っ取り、"EAT THE RICH"と改名して金持ちを血祭りにする! イギリスの庶民派テレビ局で人気を呼んだ社会風刺コメディ番組「ザ・コミック・ストリップ」でポストモンティ・パイソンとして注目を浴びた英国コメディ集団コミック・ストリップの一員であるピーター・リチャードソン監督が、パイソンズより遥かに過激に強烈な風刺を利かせて制作、ジョージ・オーウェルの小説「動物農場」やビートルズの楽曲「Piggies」のテーマにも通じる、猛烈な社会批判を展開するも、初公開時、その猛毒に誰もついて行けずに映画史上空前の空振りを記録した、勇気溢れるとんでもないブラック・コメディ『金持を喰いちぎれ』が36年ぶりに戻ってきた。"グルメの叙事詩"とも評され、あまたあるグルメ映画に『ハンニバル』 (レクター版)と『博士の異常な愛情』をぶち込んで、じっくり煮込まず肉汁滴るスパイスかけすぎのハンバーグステーキに仕上げたグルメ映画史にさん然と輝く極悪異端作でもあり、近年の英国媒体による"映画史上最大の失敗・愚行TOP50"では、歴史的超大作が軒並み名を連ねるなか、超インディペンデント低予算映画にもかかわらず第49位にランクイン (マイケル・チミノ『天国の門』が2位、デヴィッド・リンチ『砂の惑星』が3位)、今でも凄まじい存在感を発揮している前人未到の社会派超怪作である。製作総指揮は『ロッキー・ホラー・ショー』 (75)や、ポリス、XTC、ディーヴォなど出演の音楽映画『Urgh! A Music War』 (81)を手掛けたマイケル・ホワイト。主演にはジェンダーのボーダーをかるく突破、舞台、映画、テレビ、ラジオ、音楽などどんなところでも活躍するラナー・ペレー、元ヘヴィ級プロ・ボクサーであり、007シリーズのスタントのほか『荒野の用心棒』 (64)にも映っているノッシャー・パウエルが上流階級の内務大臣にふんしている。また暴走ロックンロールの帝王であり人類の切り札といわれるバンド、モーターヘッドをサウンドトラックに起用、劇中に唐突なライヴシーンが差し込まれ、その創始者であるロックンロールの化身、極悪レミーが台詞を含めた演技を披露している。そしてポール・マッカートニー、アンジー・ボウイ、サンディ・ショウ、クー・スターク、ミランダ・リチャードソン、シェイン・マガウアン (ポーグス)、ヒュー・コーンウェル (ストラングラーズ)、ビル・ワイマン (ローリング・ストーンズ)ら超豪華ミュージシャン、俳優、モデル、作家、アーティストたちが大挙カメオ出演、なぜ映っているのかは誰もわからない。作品内容と完成度、そして世の中の反応、作品が受けた仕打ち。すべてがあまりのことにたいへんなこととなった本作は、数十年の熟成を重ねて気づくと『ロックンロール・ハイスクール』『さらば青春の光』『スパイナル・タップ』『ザ・コミットメンツ』『スクール・オブ・ロック』等々のロック映画好きはもちろん、この世の金持ちと庶民は必ず観なければならない作品となっていた。製作から36年、なぜいま、これがリバイバルされたのか、まったくわからないが、食料品も軍事費も何でも値上げで生きづらさ増す日本の現状からすれば、我々は80年代英国人の気持ちに納得するだろう。そして何の躊躇もなくそれを映画という表現で世に叩きつけた本作は、あらゆる物事が"ふつう""平均"に落ち着こうとする現代において人類が忘れ去ろうとしている何かをもたらすにちがいない。この年月を経て、人類はこの猛毒の理解に近づいたのか、それとも遠ざかったのか、進化か退化を問われるまさかのディスク化で、遂に金持ちを喰いちぎるときがやってきてしまったのだ。
