$\"Metallica:$ <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
Metallica is all about the fan; the fan, who goes to Hell and back, so s\/he could be with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Getting the bag is a quest and just as the Holy Grail, it\u2019s not about the item itself, it\u2019s about the journey and the faith. If the thing that Metallica absolutely needs for the show. That single fan. https:\/\/www.mrchensjackson.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTHE WHY\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sir Ken Robinson quoted a drama guy, who said that the core experience in a theater is just the actor and one person in the audience. You can get rid of lighting, scenery, even director and playright. www.mrchensjackson.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m pretty sure that the director, Nimrod Amtal, studied this back in Hungary<\/a>, it\u2019s a probably a European perspective.It also goes back to something Lars said in the interviews. They are doing it for the fans and as a creative challenge for themselves. James also stated clearly that breaking even is not likely and paying it off will probably pass to their kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So yes, it\u2019s\nbasically a private show for just you, the real Metallica fan, like Trip did in\nthe last \u201cscene\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTHE HOW\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s\nhighlight a few of the elements that the director used to communicate this\nmessage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The opening\nshot: the fan that couldn\u2019t get to the show because it was sold out. He is NOT\nthe ideal fan, he was late, besides sporting a beer belly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fears:\nthe fears that Trips is facing are the \u201cnormal\u201d things that every fan faces\ngoing to a concert: the crazy headbangers, on one side, and the police, on the\nother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last\n(titles) scene: a look at the artist, as opposed to the performer; the four\nmembers forming a closed circle, the focus being on them loving what they do,\neven if there\u2019s no one watching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metallica: Through The Never Meaning – I saw Metallica: Through the Never yesterday and I was blown with the production. However, because of the narrative (i.e. story) that takes place, it seems that the discussions seems to center on the bag and what\u2019s inside it. In other words: what\u2019s the MEANING of the story?
