I'm not quite sure what the reason this video was made, but it is a bit of a mind boggling concept. Sir Ben Kingsley playing Ian MacKaye (front man for DC hardcore band Minor Threat), and miming the song Minor Threat (very poorly).
It's fun to watch, but Benny doesn't really get into the song too much. He looks like he's laughing, and having trouble remembering the (quite simple) lyrics. It seems like something someone put together for shits and giggles one weekend.
Still it's quite the juxtaposition of Classic Punk meets Classic Thespian.

This is so weird. I totally agree - he looked like he was phoning it in (if you're going to punch the air, fucking punch it!).
Reading your blog makes me giddy.
