    This 1979 biopic of Janis Joplin, personally, is better than "Bohemian...

    Heartbreaking to watch such a lost soul living in constant extreme emotional pain, willfully self-hurting and tormenting the beloved ones, in vengeance of ones shameful past. Great screenplay with witty dialogue. Excellent acting and editing. I feel unreal every time I watch a bold and genuine film as old as I am. Nothing is new under the...

    I don't know the master, but I have heard some songs. The heroine is wild, but she sang so well (two or three) that I almost thought she was a real rock star. The filming method of the whole film is also very classical. In addition to the courage to give up acting skills, the big scenes are also spread regardless of the cost. The scenes one after the other are close to tears. But the plot is still a routine, and the little things about rock stars are boring to watch a few times. In 1979, the...

The Rose quotes

  • Rose: What are we ladies? What are we? We are waitresses at the banquet of life! Get into that kitchen and rattle them pots and pans - and you better look pretty good doin' it too, 'else you gonna lose you good thing. And why do we do that, I'll tell you why we do that? We do that to find love - Oh I love to be in love - don't you love to be in love?

  • Rose: Ain't it just grand layin' there late at night in your bed, waitin' for your man to show up? And when he finally does, at oh about 4 o'clock in the mornin', with whiskey on his breath, and the smell of another woman on his person... Oh honey, I can smell another woman at 500 paces. That's a easy one to catch.

    [crowd gets really noisy]

    Rose: Oh, the women are getting nasty. So what do you do when he comes home with the smell of another woman on him? Do you say, "Oh honey, let me open up my loving arms and my loving legs. Dive right in, baby, the water is fine"? Is that what you say, girls?

    [the women in the crowd scream "No!"]

    Rose: Or do you say, "Fuck this shit! I've had enough of you, you asshole! Pack your bags. I'm putting on my little waitress cap and my fancy high-heeled shoes, I'm gonna go find me a real man. A good man, a true man."
