'Hakuna Matata'



1. feeling a moment- feeder
i chose this because it is the first song i listen to almost every day when i open my itunes. i really love feeder & there were a few other feeder songs i'd love to have put on here but this one is probably my favourite

2. blue (da ba dee)- eiffel 65
the greatest 90's song of my childhood! (and still amazingly good now). me & my friend lolly used to listen to this on repeat when we were little girls and we still do....

3. romeo & juliet- the killers
originally sang by the dire straits but i much prefer this version. it is one of a handful of songs that i would class as my favourite songs ever & i never get bored of listening to it!

4. hey soul sister- train 
i love my big sister very very very much- we do everything together and this is a song we like to sing to each other after a few drinks..!

5. expectations- belle & sebastian
loooove belle & sebastian, and i like the lyrics in this song, they make me laugh. they remind me of the fact that i never want to have a boring job like my dad & i want to work hard to make sure i have an exciting future!:)

6. bump in the road- erik hassle
always an amazing song to listen to when im going through a bit of a sad phase. reminds me that it isnt the end of the world when i am incapable of thinking so myself!:)

7. love will tear us apart- the cure
i really love this song but i dont like the original by joy division because i find ian curtis's voice really hard to listen to. and i am a big fan of the cure so it's the perfect combination!

8. there is a light that never goes out- the smiths
my favourite smiths song. the smiths are possibly my favourite band and this song is really wonderful. it also reminds me of an amazing few days i had in london last summer with a really good friend

9. your body is a wonderland- john mayer
the first song i will whack on when the sun is out! it's beeeautiful & i adore john mayer

10. dance inside- the all-american rejects
the all-american rejects were my first ever concert, when i was twelve. this is by far my favourite song of theirs

11. what katie did- the libertines
i have an adoration for peter doherty- i have read every book on him & i think he's incredibly talented. i spent the night at the front of one of his concerts and i was so happy when he played this song

12. wild horses- the rolling stones
one of my aaaaaaallll time favourite songs. i could listen to it 24/7 & i think that the lyrics are lovely!:)

13. your biggest mistake- ellie goulding
i am a massive fan of ellie goulding and listen to her a lot, and her album 'bright lights' is probably my favourite album of all time. this song is my favourite (maybe my favourite song in the world ever...maybe) & every time i listen to it, it gets better and better. and i have listened to it a LOT!

14. on a mission- katy b
this song reminds me of my eighteenth birthday on my first proper night out as it was being played all over the place. i always listen to it when im getting ready to go out because it gets me excited

15. jump on it- sugarhill gang
a famous anthem among an amazing group of friends i have, and whenever we have parties or go out at night, they will make sure this song is played. we even have a dance that it is impossible to not do everytime i hear this now

16. you've got a friend in me- randy newman
being a self-confessed disney kid, this song means only one thing- diiisssnneeeyyy!!! i've been obsessed with anything & everything disney related since i was tiny and this song reminds me of my five visits to disneyland and makes my heart all warm & happy! i would have put a proper disney song on here but it would look a bit out of place!

17. casino brawl- luke pickett
probably the most under-rated musician i can think of. he is amazing and i listen to him when i cant sleep because his songs are like lullabyes!

18. the last song- mcfly
and finally, this mixtape wouldn't be an accurate representation of me without mcfly on it as, although i am not the biggest fan of them nowadays, they were my childhood/early teen love. i have seen them live 19 times & met them so much that they at one point knew me by name. this song is more special than most as it was played at my friend serah's funeral a few years ago, whom i met through this band

Fight Club Characters

Edward Norton plays an insomniac. He is weird and can only cry around people with 'real' problems. He is lost as a person and tries to find thing, e.g furniture, that will define him as a person. He sees things. We don't know much about him or his background or why he is the way he is. We know that he works in a boring office job and he strikes us on the surface as a normal, plain and average guy. Most importantly, we do not know his name.

Brad Pitt plays Tyler Durden and he strikes us as a bit of an off the wall character. He is laid back and spontaneous. He lives in a dump and is wreckless. Him and Edward's character form a brotherly bond and Tyler is seen as more the leader and Edward the sidekick.

Marla Singer, played by Helena Bonham Carter, is strange and scary. She is pale skinned and pretty unhygienic, relating her in a way to Tyler. She strikes us as quite 'up herself' but also intriguing and interesting. She is enigmatic and tough. She smokes and is pretty fearless.

Post Modernism in Inglorious Basterds

The post-modern elements in Inglorious Basterds are typical of Quentin Tarantino and is part of what sets the film as a hybrid text as it fits into many genres.
The Music:
Although the film is set in WWII (1939-1945), it's soundtrack consists of modern music, unusual for a 'war film'. The film does open with music that you would expect in a film of the era but continues with rock music to add to the modern action elements in the movie. The modern music contrasts with the era but fits with the glorified action and violence in the film. The music is intertextual of modern day action films and the use of it can be seen as humorous. A David Bowie song is used to Shoshana's scene and the scene is portrayed as almost like a music video. Tarantino also uses a lot of western music in Inglorious Basterds. This relates to the shoot out scenes in westerns and again focuses's and glorifies the violence in the film. The intertextual elements of the western music mixes genres which is unusual and post modern.
Painted Backdrop:
Rather than using a green screen, modern technology, Tarantino uses painted backdrops to relate to original war films, contrasting with the modern elements he incorporates into the movie to create a mixture of the two.
Titles/Character introductions:
Creates modern action type feel and can be seen is Tarantino's other films such as Kill Bill. This isn't something that would appear in a normal war film.
Public Film Split Screen:
This creates a contrast to the modern elements of the film and reminds the audience that this film is not your typical war film.
Movie Set:
An arial view of Shoshana reveals the movie set, very unusual for a film as you as an audience member are supposed to become emersed in something that you watch as if it was reality. This element exagerates the film element and makes the movie all the more glorified.
