Dialogue of "Control"

Meaghan 2022-01-01 08:02:22

One:
my heart leaps up when I behold
a rainbow in the sky
so it was my life began
so it is now I am a man
so it be when I shall grow old
or let me die
the child is the father of the man
and I could wish my days to be
bound each to each by natural piety
II:
Ian: Do you want to sleep with other men?
Debbie: What?
Ian: Do you want to sleep with other men?
Debbie: That's a strange question.
Ian: Because...if you did...it'd be OK.I'd be OK.
Debbie: Are you being serious?
When you say a thing like that
it makes me think you don't love me anymore
Ian: I don't think I doThree
:
Dear Annik,
I know I'm intruding on your life not you on mine
I felt as if things were becoming a bit clearer earlier on
But can now see everything falling to pieces before my eyes
I'm paying dearly for past mistakes
I never realised how one mistake in my life
Some four or five years ago would make me feel how I do
I struggle between what I know is right in my own mind
And some warped truthfulness as seen through other people's eyes
Who have no heart, and can't see the difference anyway
I saw apocalypse now at the cinema
I couldn't take my eyes away from the screen
On the record, there's Marlon Brando reading the Hollow Men
The struggle between man's conscience and his heart
Until things go to far
Get out of hand and can never be repaired
Is everything so worthless in the end?
Is there any more?
What lies beyond ?What is left to carry on?

    joy division is reliable, this movie is not very reliable... ian is a geek as a singer, but as a man he is an ordinary crippled person

    A hit of rock middle age restraint. Impeccable film sense, classic biography! !

Control 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?
