1-UP



When you get it all right, you will find the beauty of this well kept secret and know the ecstasy in seeing the music come alive in the film for the first time.  Every scene, every move, every splash of sparks, even eyes darting in new directions have been plotted out to accompany the sounds of MCIS.  Screaming voices, the wailing of the guitars all become real.  Love becomes an emotional roller coaster in the griping melodies of the Pumpkins, while Scott and Ramona travel down the winding path of complicated romance together.  The epic battle awaits beyond the digital stuffing the movie is seemingly comprised of, fueled by the most aggressive songs.  Visual and social puns consistently turn up, contrasting expression and demeanor, even putting words into mouths.  Corgan speaks through all of them, Edgar jokingly extracts visual metaphors.

That is the way it is.  I know it's a rough to get there, as rough as Scott's life, but I'll do my best to help you out.  There is a formula that makes it all come together, and you are going to figure it out through trial and error. Unless somebody wants to ask me personally about it, then I guess I could be a little more insightful...
