Like an old Tamil movie ...
In the Tamil movies of a long while ago, the songs in the movie would typically be sung by the actor and actress themselves. And the songs would not be sung in a recording studio and dubbed in - The actors would sing the song as they did their dancing ! Truly, those folks were multi-talented :-)
Yesterday, I saw an awesome movie called "Hustle & Flow", which brought together a few of the things I love the most - Hip-Hop, an underdog, grit, a dream and great acting in an indie (sort of) movie.
The movie revolves around a pimp who raps. He lives in a house with three prostitutes that he pimps. He decides that he wants to cut a record and gets a recording studio set up at home. He starts rapping and gets one of the women to try singing - And this becomes one of the best scenes in the movie - Of free-flowing rap, frustration finding its outlet, sweet release in the form of music and I felt that they were singing the song themselves ....
