DVD Reviews of The Cure - Greatest Hits

DVD Review: The evolution of a Phenomenal Bipolar Disorder Brand/Band
Summary: 5 Stars

Among many reasons for rejoice and for a feeling of money truly well spent (the astonishing songs, the sound, the organization, the hidden extras - yes they are really there!), the most pleasant thing in this DVD is to be able to witness the chronological artistic development of a phenomenal British institution - The Cure. For instance, I never knew that before he evolved into his brilliant and unique artistic self, Robert Smith was once the look and sound-alike of Ian Curtis/Joy Division that can be seen in A Forest (1980) with a neat grey shirt, composed hair, no makeup, and a somewhat colder, tighter sound. Then, during the eighties, the band's trademark all black/ baggy/ careless/ Smith children-like (plenty of circus, polar bears, toys, etc) brand image and distinctive "delightfulness in depression" sound/lyrics takes over in videos such as Inbetween Days (1985). Subsequently, in the late eighties/nineties they broke out of their confinements and extended "the cure brand" by unabashedly releasing a flow of happiness and vibrant colors (e.g. "lime green and tangerine" quoting Smith) in videos such as Why Can't I Be You, but simultaneously keeping their core ability to produce depression hymns such as Just Like Heaven, where obviously they all dress in black and act depressed. In 2001, they are still keeping that magnificent bipolar disorder, brilliantly going back and forth from complete depression to pure joy. In "cut Here", they are all much older - some with grey hair- wearing grey or black fashionable suits, they look introvert and composed (although Smith always manages to look purposely childish and lost), and sing/lament "I shoulda I coulda"; while in Just Say Yes they celebrate euphoria wearing all colors and joking around as if they were the happiest band in the world! To sum up the DVD, "never guessed that it got this good, it's purrrrfect (again quoting Smith)."
