a-ha: The Movie

When "Take On Me" reached nr 1 on Billboard in the US in 1985, the dream came true. Or did it? The band was not prepared for what the success could bring, including tension between the three band members.

I had so much to say about this but I’ll keep it short here. It was a wonderful trip into nostalgia. And what an adventure tale, to just get in your head you want to do music, and make it big, against all odds, leave like forever not yours into the limelight of the living daylights… such precious archive material too. It was heart warming, and a little sad too, to hear the guys voice their thoughts and opinions. Morten just the eternal … well, he’s got his ways to express himself. Pål, the antisocial dictator. Magne, the ever-bending, self-sacrificing little brother.
Their differences were sad, but impressive to keep at it anyway.
Time to revisit scoundrel days.
