Tumaros Report post Posted August 10, 2005 Well after some quick brief google-osity, apparently they do have plans for "American Idiot: The Movie" but they're supposed to begin filming "as early as next year..." perhaps they started early...? Very anti-war and anti-Bush though. I give them 100% respect and a whole lotta credit for that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course, Green Day have hated bush for a while, and I certainly wasn't aware they were making a movie ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Green Day are quite anti-war/anti-bush. The purpose of the video is not for that, but it depicts how the Iraq war affects ordinary people, and not just the affects in Iraq - but on those who are back home, away from the frontline.

MikeH Report post Posted August 23, 2005 (edited) wake me up when september ends is really about mike dirnt and billy joe's childhood. They always had very rough times at school and loved the summer. Also Billy joe's dad died in early september i believe, and he was going through the hardest times. That is what this song mainly reflects Just like Boulevard of Broken dreams, which is about how greenday had been shunned by many of their fans. They're early fans accused them of selling out after they left lookout records, they werent aloud to play at any of their favorite punk rock clubs. Not even the clubs that they first played in would let them back. They got alot of shit from their fans when they played at woodstock as well. Thats what that song is supposed to reflect. but both songs still play into the entire story of "american idiot" and i heard it was an opera not a movie >< And good riddance is a sacastic song, its meaning is basically "fuck off". But its still the #1 wedding song ;D Edited August 23, 2005 by MikeH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tumaros Report post Posted August 24, 2005 Observant VH1 viewer, MikeH "86" - also about their sellout, "never returning" to their underground-punk world... Opera = yes Movie = possibility, seen some discussions/rumors about it It all depends on how you look at it, which I think is the whole idea of American Idiot... Some people see each song [especially the likes of American Idiot and Holiday] in an anti-war form... Others, myself in particular, look more into the actualy "storyline" of the album...about the Jesus of Suburbia, St. Jimmy, Whatshername, and the character development... And still others look at it in the "behind the scenes" form -- such as "Wake Me Up" being a song about his father (which, partially, is), and stuff like that... *Could go into a huge discussion about perception...the basis of our lives >_<* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest LinkLHD Report post Posted September 23, 2005 I don't see how the album could be anti-war and anti-Bush. I'm a Republican. I do see how Holiday is anti-war though. But anyway. I saw the making of WMUWSE. And they started playing Extraordinary Girl. It was a scene where the girl is sitting on those seats and she looks up into the sky. And it occured to me that she could be the She's a Rebel/Whatsername character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rasberrybeard Report post Posted September 24, 2005 I hate Greenday. and yes I will argue why they are quite possibly the most overated undertalented band of all time if you feel it neccasary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
