“Dear Hard Harry,

Do you think I should I kill myself?”

- Malcom Kaiser

Suicide is never the answer. There will always be something better, and someone will always care, even if it doesn’t seem like it at the moment.

Ultimate Rabbit Audio Commentary on 'Pump Up The Volume'

Okay everyone, The Ultimate Rabbit is doing something new here, at least for him. I am doing my first ever audio commentary, and it is for the 1990 film, “Pump Up The Volume.” Written and directed by Allan Moyle, it stars Christian Slater as Mark Hunter, a high school student who has been uprooted from his hometown in New York and now lives with his parents in Paradise Hills, Arizona. Depressed…

The Christmas Station ID also features special guests like Cristine Reyes, Masahiro Inoue, Renn Kiriyama, Ryota Ozawa, Yutaka Kobayashi and Riki Miura who are the actors from the 2006 movie Minority Report and South Korean boy band Momoland as a 9-member boy band during their pre-debut similar to the Happy Music Video from Toy Story 3 when they are in school uniform. Somehow, The Christmas Station ID also features cameos from Disney at the very end featuring Blue the Puppy who is the mascot of TV5 and the character from Disney’s Blues Clues. Somehow, Blue the Puppy broke the fourth wall and made the characters from Disney, the TV5 crew members and South Korean boy band Momoland to get mad and glare at her which makes Blue surprised that she is about to be captured by the crew. However, The opening features the voice of Peter Musgñi who is the voiceover of ABS-CBN whenever he narrates about Christmas and even the people they lost which made people cry or even depressed.

Somehow, The Christmas Station ID will be re-used in 2013 which will be known as “DisyembRegalo”.

Cine: Personajes gays en "Pump Up the Volume" (1990)

La idea del conductor del programa radial que, con su lenguaje disruptivo, incentiva pensamientos o comportamientos revolucionarios y transformadores, no es nueva. Quizás esté más fresca en la memoria el telefilme de Disney "Radio Rebel" (2012), pero ya antes estuvo "Buenos días, Vietnam" (1987) o "La radio ataca" (1988), entre otros exponentes.

En "Suban el volumen" (título latinoamericano) o "Rebelión en las aulas" (según su versión española), Mark Hunter (Christian Slater) compone a un adolescente retraído que se destapa cada noche, cuando su alter-ego, Hard Harry, lidera "Happy Harry-Hard-On", un programa de radio pirata que emite mensajes airados sobre la "Hubert H. Humphrey High School", su cuerpo educativo y su política de expulsar "alumnos problemáticos" a la menor oportunidad (como el caso de una chica embarazada). La fama del programa es tal que es comercializada en el instituto mediante casetes de audio (centennials, googleen), lo cual despierta la reacción restrictiva de las autoridades.

Mark, cuya labor es secreta, aún para sus padres, conmina a su audiencia a escribirle (evidentemente, las cartas llegan a una dirección secreta) sobre sus pensamientos y vidas. Así, se comunica con Malcolm Kaiser (Anthony Lucero), un joven depresivo que le comunica su deseo de suicidarse. La conversación demuestra que Mark no se toma muy en serio la gravedad de la situación, lo cual lamentará mucho más tarde: el muchacho acabará matándose y desatando, con su partida, un caos creciente en la escuela, a tal punto que involucrará a los medios locales y a la policía.

Según el sitio "The Ringer", que puedes leer aquí (si sabes inglés), Malcolm Kaiser fue pensado como un adolescente gay, pero Island Pictures, una de las posibles compañías productoras, se negó a aceptarlo.

Allí, cuando se debate sobre los alcances de su responsabilidad, Hunter recibe la carta de un adolescente, a quien llama. No hay cómo identificarlo más que como el joven rubio que, en las imágenes, prosigue al angustiado Malcolm. Su historia es igualmente brutal: gay asumido y orgulloso, algunos meses antes había sido citado por un atleta estrella del instituto, a quien le confiesa que estaba enamorado de él. Sin embargo, lo que parecía una declaración con esperanza romántica devino en algo más siniestro cuando se le aparecieron algunos de sus amigos.

Allan Moyle se despacha con un relato descarnado sobre la adolescencia y la educación estadounidense, esencial y furioso, en el que pone especial foco en la desatención de los adultos frente a problemáticas juveniles. Aquí, un informe en el sitio web "The Ringer" sobre la vigencia del filme:

According to the 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, the night of July 3, about 600 protesters surrounded the Aurora Police Department District One station at 13347 E. Montview Boulevard. Organizers described the event as an “occupation,” the DA’s office said.

They blocked off streets around the police station with vehicles and items from a nearby construction site, the DA’s office said.

“They prevented 18 officers inside from leaving the building by barricading entrances and securing doors with wires, ropes, boards, picnic tables and sandbags. Some members of the group carried handguns and rifles and wore military or tactical clothing,” the DA’s office said in a statement issued Thursday afternoon.

The leaders of the group were demanding two Aurora officers be fired and that no one would be allowed in or out of the building until their demands were met, according to the DA’s office.

“The officers were imprisoned inside the building for seven hours until they were dispersed by APD’s Emergency Response Team at about 3 a.m. on July 4,” the DA’s office said.

365 Day Movie Challenge (2017) - #116: Pump Up the Volume (1990) - dir. Allan Moyle

First Heathers, now Pump Up the Volume: I’m going through some definite Christian Slater feelings at the moment. My only previous experience with a film directed by Allan Moyle is the comedy The Gun in Betty Lou’s Handbag (1992), which was Moyle’s follow-up to Pump Up the Volume. I remember enjoying Gun, but it can’t hold a candle to Moyle’s earlier achievement in the genre of teen dramedy.

Slater plays Mark Hunter, a teenager whose recent move to small-town Arizona from New York City has left him feeling isolated and pissed-off at his parents, his new teachers and principal, you name it. He vents his frustration by hosting a radio show from the depths of his parents’ basement, a program that he hosts under the name of “Happy Harry Hard-On,” or “Hard Harry” for short. Mark/Harry spins an eclectic selection of records, including Leonard Cohen (the show’s opening theme is “Everybody Knows”), Richard Hell and the Voidoids, Ice T, Pixies, Beastie Boys, Concrete Blonde and Ivan Neville (coincidentally, I heard another of his songs in a different film I watched this past week, Skin Deep). Mark also fights back against the corrupt nature of his high school’s bureaucracy, urging his listeners to rebel against the authority and find strength (albeit the confused, frustrated adolescent kind) in numbers. For good reason, Pump Up the Volume is remembered as one of Christian Slater’s strongest films and performances.

Pump’s supporting cast features Samantha Mathis as Mark’s love interest, Nora Diniro; Annie Ross as the principal of Hubert H. Humphrey High School, Loretta Creswood; Ellen Greene as Jan Emerson, the one teacher who cares about Mark and what happens to her students; Cheryl Pollak as Paige Woodward, a rich girl whose social status is in direct opposition with her state of mind; Lala Sloatman as Nora’s bespectacled friend, Janie; and Anthony Lucero as Malcolm Kaiser, a classmate of Mark’s who tunes into the radio show to discuss plans for suicide. The casting of these actors and the memorable dialogue in Allan Moyle’s screenplay make the characters feel real and identifiable, enriching their unified journey towards harmony and compassion in a weird, mixed-up, unfair world.
