Phil Spector review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 05/01/13
"I invented the music business." A movie on the life of an eccentric record producer, songwriter and musician Phil Spector (Al Pacino) and Linda Kenney Baden (Helen Mirren). Spector tells Linda about trivia's on Lawrence of Arabia, John Lennon, a song, Black American artists and the like. She represents him as a lawyer due to a suspected murder. The examination of the case felt like an episode of CSI. Spector insists his greatness in the influence of the music business. Al Pacino brings in his A game, showing his earnest portrayal. Linda - "You can control your behvior." Phil - "What your doing Linda is good." "You gotta take care of yourself." Mirren was a perfect compliment to the greatness of Pacino. She totally controlled the temperamental Spector. Soundtrack obviously was magnificent and the suspense before the trial was built well. Phil Spector has a disclaimer, with or without it the film represents that image can ruin ones reputation and that a trial can be a mistrial and yet the innocent suffers.
