Self
Una película de concierto de rock como nunca se había hecho, "Rattle and Hum" captura a U2 - sobre el escenario y fuera de él - durante su exitosa gira de "The Joshua Tree". Desde las celebraciones en estadios de football, con gran despliegue de luces, filmados en color, hasta la intensidad que transmiten las imágenes en blanco y negro de las actuaciones en salas, se ve al grupo en uno de los mejores momentos de su carrera. ¡Sigue a la banda a lo largo y lo ancho de los Estados Unidos, explorando nuevos horizontes e influencias, tocando con el legendario B.B.King, en un viaje que los lleva de Dublin a Graceland, de San Francisco a las calles de Harlem, de "The Joshua Tree" a "Rattle and Hum".
Himself
New York, 1986: a city of big dreams and equally big problems. Like New York itself, hip-hop music encompassed both of these human conditions. But hip-hop and its cultural birthplace shared other important characteristics, too: the desire to always be original, a hustle-to-survive ambition, and — if the stars aligned — the ability to come out on top, no matter what the odds. Big Fun in the Big Town is about hip-hop when artistry in the game was still at its center. When skills, not hype, got you your first record deal. When Run-DMC took the reins from Doug E Fresh and Grandmaster Flash, paving the way for hundreds of other hitmakers to follow. When a chart-topping LL Cool J still lived with his Grandmother. When the Latin Quarter was the club to be at on any weekend night. And when artists from all backgrounds could taste their own pop chart dreams, just beyond their reach but still seemingly attainable.
