Our kid was back in Manchester for the film premiere. And true to himself, the younger Gallagher couldn't resist picking on his big brother. To the question "Is he (Noel) coming tonight?" he replied "He's probably in his big house, eating tofu and having a face peel. That's what posh people do."
The 2 hours film starts with the band’s historical gig at Knebworth in 1996. With two career defining records under their belt, Oasis quickly became the biggest act in the UK. Their debut album ‘Definitely Maybe’ (the fastest-selling debut of all time) and its successor ‘What’s The Story Morning Glory’ turned the two brothers into f*cking hilarious arrogant c*nts. We get an insight of the band’s early days with rare and exclusif footage of rehearsals, interviews and behind the scenes hilarious moments.
The spectacularly documentary shines a light on the triumphant journey of Britain’s finest rock band. The award-winning filmmaker Mat Whitecross shows another facet of the Gallaghers.
It was quite interesting getting to know more about their personalities with a surprisingly straight laced and focused Noel acting as the leader and a sincere and genuinely passionate Liam. But the film also capture personal moments for the boys, including their difficult relationship with their father (Thomas Gallagher), and the reasons for the love-hate relationship between the brothers who shared a room growing up.
“Noel has a lot of buttons, Liam has a lot of fingers; it’s that simple,” says Christine Mary Biller, from the band’s management company, in the film. Oasis was something special. The legendary band had passion and unique talent that made them the voice of a generation.
Oasis remains the last band that managed to transcend music to become a cultural phenomenon. “The love and the vibe and the passion and the rage and the joy that are coming from the crowd, if anything, that’s what Oasis was.” Noel Gallagher
