When we all fall asleep, where do we go? People are going to concerts less and less these days because of soaring ticket prices. Artists have been cancelling tour dates. This isn’t the case for a certain bad guy. She has released a concert film recorded live in Manchester called BILLIE EILISH: HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR LIVE IN 3D. If you are sensitive to flashing lights, avoid this movie! It’s a collaboration between one of the youngest and biggest pop stars in recent history with one of the oldest and biggest directors in recent history: Billie Eilish and James Cameron. I love how supportive Cameron is here, allowing Eilish and her music to shine. Not only does this movie give an immersive concert-going experience using 3D technology and some unique handheld camera work, it’s also interspersed with behind-the-scenes footage of getting ready for the concert itself. Cameron asks some great questions to Eilish. Seeing so many fans get emotional got me emotional. She really has helped a lot of people find the confidence to be whoever they want to be. It’s easily the best concert film. I refuse to see a 3D movie unless James Cameron is involved. I can tell he really enjoys trying things nobody’s done before. I don’t usually listen to music in general, but I loved this setlist from Billie and loved seeing her command the stage, on and off it. Overall, BILLIE EILISH: HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR LIVE IN 3D is definitely one of the longest movie titles out there. It felt like I went to the best and cheapest concert ever. If you’re a fan, I can’t recommend it enough, this is everything I wanted. So, when the party’s over and you’re having a bittersuite lunch with a skinny wallflower at the diner, and you sign an NDA because you need to bury a friend with those lovely blue ocean eyes, try to think “what was I made for?”, and know you’re happier than ever. You’re the greatest!!!!!!!
