The title of “Chech and Chong’s Last Movie” This pair in another way does the shambolic med-on-on-the-spot-but-tail-iF-iF-iF-iF-It-It-It-It-It-It-It-It-It-In-In-In-It-In-In Buddy-Comedy Rampals. And gave their age (Tommy Chong About 87 years of age; Chech Marin A relative of 78 is a spring chicken), you could be forgiven to assume that the kind of stoner they were inventing the kind of comedy they were invented, in the same form, now under the block below the block below the cannabis outlet as the mainstream.
But no, “Chech and Chong’s Last Movie” is a straight-up (if not always completely straight), then a film takes two hours to detect the life and career of these Jhara comic revolutionaries. We hear about his interesting life stories (Chong started as a skillful musician in a group signed by Motown; Chechch was emotional about being a potter), his Beyond-random meat-up, the development of his acting, the way he had become compared to the huge … and to tie the film together in a roll, a roll in a roll, a roll in a roll, a roll in a roll, a roll in a roll, a roll in a roll, a roll to tie together in a roll With, in “Will and Harper” like Will Pharel and Harper Steel. Even we feel that we are on a bizarre road trip to nostalgia, a one who is probably more scripted than it is, argue and argue about both goods, and the Quibbling is real, as it is clear how they can still push each other’s buttons, and also that they love each other, even if they love each other. They are like Paul and John of Baked Idii.
I grew up with Chech and Chong, but never counted myself as their prominent fan. When I was at the middle school, I was first surprised in the album, to like them, but also got mindless and repeated, and thought that his films were very good “up in smoke”, from overlapping to absmal. Nevertheless, seeing all this, I was surprised to see how I won from “Chech and Chong’s last film”. I never spent even a minute thinking how both of them put their work together, but the development of their career, which takes shape with more calculations than the comedy bits, which they often worked, once, become attractive and enchanting a story.
Chech and Chong often felt that they were just to be, with a random weed plant from the soil of the counterculture. They came in the perfect moment, reduced the entire hippie world into a burl. His routine’s hidden jokes-not much of long-haired drug types found too much-this was a counterclockous AboveIt was already turning into a parody in itself, and Chech and Chong just said that one step ahead in doffus-mind madness.
Both felt to get out of the stone ether, which is why they gave them to everyone who saw them high contact. But it is not that they became Martin and Lewis of the Hippie-Hangover ’70s. The documentary opens with a barrage of the clip from its hero, when they looked everywhere, the TV talk show (Chong: “It’s not difficult to see what drugs do for you.” Them (Johnny Carson: “Have you heard of a new death sentence? You have to stand between Chech and Chong for half an hour”).
The film jumps a little late in its youth. Chong, whose father Chinese and his mother were Scotch Irish, grew up in the deteriorating village Canada, of which they developed their border Buddhist philosophy: whatever happens means to be, so deal with it. Chech grew up in South Central La, which was extremely violent. He said, “By the time I was seven years old, I saw three murders in front of my eyes.” He was mostly one of the only chikunos in the black neighborhood, and then his father, a difficult La policeman, transferred the family to the Granada Hills in the San Fernando Valley, which was almost particularly white. All this informed in such a way that Chech, in his comedy, was playing his funky blissed-out Chicon-Overman character as he had just come from another planet. Which was part of its poetry. Chech Marin Latin-American was one of the founding fathers of pop culture, with a personality New For the mainstream that he opened the door to all from Freddy Prince to John Leguizamo.
He and Tommy met at Vancouver, where Chong ran a strip club and had two different families – his wife, a wild life with Maxin, and with whom he had two children (including Rai Don Chong), and his mistress, shelby, who became pregnant at night, dropped acid together. When he joined Bobby Taylor and Vancourse, his lifestyle was made even more frightening, which was discovered by the Supreme. Chong has a single “Does your maternal uncle know about me?”, Who charts #9 in 1968. But by the turn of the decade, the music life was thin for him, and he was near the comedy, running a improvised troupe called the committee out of the committee. Cheech was hired by the counterpart of Canada’s Rolling Stone magazine to cover the congregation, and he was injured to join him. As the counters went away, all the members of the committee also participated, except for Cheek and Chong. But they believe that they stole a lot of their classic bits – as if they put two dogs from the congregation.
Chech and Chong’s career, like their routine, was an ideal storm of incident. The way Andy Cofman lifted the character of his foreign person from someone met in college, Chong took his full nap “Hey, man!” Talk to a homeless Vancouver Stoner called Strawberry His A personality on a co -passenger who could barely interact because he was very busy checking “chicks”.
Comedy clubs were not present yet, so Chech and Chong were going to LA, played the role of Soul Clubs, from it from Briors to Ray Charles to Delphonics. This gave him a unique double facility. He was a colored comedian, at the same time, sent to a hippie culture that was mostly white. Then, one night, he played the Tabledor (the place where Elton John was elevated in the superstardom during three shows), and when fate was killed. Lu Adler Was in the audience; He was a fake record manufacturer who created the “Tapestry” of Mama and Papa and Sam Cook and Carol King. He grew up in the Jewish section boyle heights of East La, and recognized the characters who were checked and chong. In April 1971, he signed a deal with his record company with Adler, and it excluded him from there.
How he learned to work recording studios, the most attractive story in the film. First, they did not know what they were doing. He was to learn to improve within the studio’s sonic playground. When he did, in the sketch titled “Dave” (although fans call it “not here”), the result was magic. Lu Adler had the power to sketch at radio stations everywhere. And it is connected. He was working in the same mode that gave birth to Firerusin Theater and National Lampoon Radio Hour, but checch and Chong Xbertly Lowerbro, So-Stond-V-Dumbble, Racerly Agro, All-Intestite versions-It seems that they see the upcoming Hollywood Clut in the coming Hollywood Clut.
His films, “up and smoke” (who directed by Adler), made him even more big stars, although Edler signed him for such a worrying deal that although the film earned a $ 50 million in the US (considerable amount for 1978), he was paid just $ 25,000. He redeemed “Chech and Chong’s next film” (1980), but in my opinion it was the beginning of his fruitful creative field – and, of course, among many happy aspects of his partnership. When Chong directed his second feature, it stopped a power struggle-and in the desert-ride conversations of “Chech and Chong’s last film”, it is clear that they are still in war about it. Chech thought that Chong became a control eccentric; Chong admitted that he took control as a filmmaker, but says that he made Chech a star of films. I think the two miss the real point: that their films started sucking, and they should have found a real filmmaker.
“Chech and Chong’s last film” is an inspired closing, because as two winds stuck in the desert, only to look at the road and see a place called the United, adding a huge smoldering joint joint roof. So it is as if they reached heaven. Smoking dope was once considered as a revolutionary activity, a path to “freedom”. This freed your brain from excessive, traditional rationality. Long before, however, it had become just another zone-out headonistic middle-class pastime. “Chech and Chong’s last film” celebrates how Chech and Chong made a comic gold from a pivot point between those two things. He laughed at us how we all have to learn to worry and love Bong.
