Now this is a fantastic idea for a movie. Who among us hasn’t as some point wanted to take a shotgun and blast the hell out of one of those cars out on the street that has it’s damn annoying alarm going off in the middle of the day, at 5am in the morning, or just as you’re trying to go to bed? I know I have.
So here comes along this little film called “Noise“. The folks over at Yahoo give us this:
“Noise,” Bean’s provocative second film, casts Tim Robbins as David, an upper-class family man driven insane by New York’s loud sounds — grinding garbage trucks, horns honking, back-up beepers and worst of all, car alarms squealing at all hours. He becomes so obsessed with noise that he turns into a black-clad vigilante, “The Rectifier,” waging his own crusade on those damn alarms shattering his quiet.
Genius! It’s actually sort of based on real life events for Director Henry Bean who says he’s actually broken into cars to shut their alarms off, gotten arrested for and spent nights in jail. To me… this man is a hero.
Having a performer like Tim Robbins in it is nothing but good news for the movie. I can already see Robbins’ face slowly starting to go crazy with automotive blood lust as he tries to sleep and some stupid car alarm screeches in the night like a cat getting violated by a Water Buffalo.
Now, if they could just make a movie called “ADS” about a man who goes insane with rage because of being subjected to 20 minutes of commercials every time he goes to see a movie… that would have ‘Oscar” written all over it!
