      The Film "Control" Has Superb Acting Skills

      After watching the movie, I searched for Ian Curtis's performance videos: Color is the prototype, and Sam is highly restored. Accurate casting, excellent actors, and top-notch photography. Martin Ruhe, Director of Photography, said that the clothes rack suddenly rose during the hypnosis...

      A Wonderful and Impressive Movie -- Control

      I watched this movie by accident, and by chance, it kept me watching.

      Inn and his rock band have gone from obscurity to a lot of attention. Inn got married and became a father at a young age. Inn suffers from epilepsy and needs to be supported by drugs with a lot of side effects. Inn fell in love with a foreign female reporter. This kind of lightness went heavy and broken, and Inn's contradictions led him to commit suicide. Inn was only 23 years old.

      The shock and impact...

      Control – The Legendary Life of Ian Curtis

      Life is full of contradictions, sorrows and joys. The recently deceased "Fat Fat" was very happy on the screen, but behind the setbacks in her marriage and her daughter's rebellion. In the journey of life, it is like "split personality", one is the same as before, and another when one is one. Joy Division's lead vocalist Ian Curtis hanged himself at the age of 23. It may be a pity, but it may be a relief for him. Honestly I don't encourage suicide, but I don't have a hard time guaranteeing that...

      The death of the band's lead singer: emotional fragility

      This movie looks depressing. Students who want to watch can take a quick look, it seems to be more popular recently.

      I originally thought that the biography of the band's lead singer would write a lot about music (by the way, "Once"). But a lot of this film is about marriage and family love.

      Ever since Kurt Cobain, I have felt that the suicide of the lead singer will be the most brilliant time for a band, because the living people open their mouths and no one listens and the...

      love will tear us apart again

      After the opening of the past is the past
      and the present is out of my control

      , the word "control" appeared on the screen. The title of the film, which was intended to be clear
      , vaguely predicted the ending of the story. The so-called HAPPY ENDING can't help but want to watch it until it's finished.... Just like every love in life, watching fireworks one after another, sometimes we can't tell the reason for staying and can't find it The excuses for turning around are so...

      I didn't have any spoilers before, so I didn't realize it was the biography of the Happy Squad until I talked about Curtis. I didn't know much about it. I read it a little, and I went back and added some background knowledge. It feels like it fits very well with reality. The choice of characters is also very good. The band's performance is also very good. The director's detailed handling of the camera and the development of the situation is very good, so I can't understand why the score is so...

      Black and white love! The lens is quiet and punchy. The performance is amazing and cramping! Regardless of the facts, the film itself is great. A family man, with a wife and children, conservative and comfortable, and working part-time in a government agency before joining the team, all this is not like the growth trajectory of a rock band member, is it bumpy enough? ! But the end is about the same, 23 seems to be the curse of the rocker...

      Filming Ian's suicide is like being trapped by love, how could it be so simple. But plus points for photography, the overall feeling is great. It's over, people like me who only listen to songs and don't know what musicians look like will automatically make up their minds when listening to Joy Division and New Order in the...

      Hehe, get rough. [ps the male lead is so amazing, really good at acting, but after acting, there is nothing I can do. I still have to follow the script and beg my wife with a sad face, then go to a foreign mistress and finally be forced to death by a love triangle that is not even so bloody. pass...

    Movie plot

    18-year-old Ian Curtis ( Sam Riley ) was young and a high school student with eyeliner. He just shut himself in the room and listened to David Bowie and Lou Reid. Waiting for music. For him, the lifeless town of Marklesfield in his hometown is like a silent prison, and only the gorgeous rock and roll burning in London is the antidote to indulgence of youth.
    The famous band gunman's concert in Manchester in 1976 changed Curtis's life...

    Movie quotes

    • Ian Curtis: So this is permanence; love-shattered pride. What once was innocence, has turned on its side.

    • Ian Curtis: When you look at your life, in a strange new room, maybe drowning soon, is this the start of it all?

    • Ian Curtis: I wish I were a Warhol silk screen hanging on the wall. Or little Joe or maybe Lou. I'd love to be them all. All New York's broken hearts and secrets would be mine. I'd put you on a movie reel, and that would be just fine.
