This is the first movie I've watched twice in one night.
However, I can't write a movie review.
I tried so hard to get myself to write something, but I just couldn't get it started. I want to write the music for the movie, but I want you to listen to it instead of listening to me; I want to write about the black and white color and camera angle of the movie, but I want you to see it for yourself rather than listen to me; I want to write this The legendary life of the protagonist and his signature movement of swinging his arms, but I prefer you to know it yourself rather than listen to me; I want to write about the shocking feeling the movie brings to me, but I prefer you to experience it yourself instead of listening to it. Listen to me, I can't actually say it. The first time I looked at the picture, I felt that if I just took one of the screenshots, I could freeze it into a classic black and white film; the second time I listened to music, although I didn’t like rock and roll, but this time I was really moved; the first time I felt distressed Ian, the second time I feel sorry for Deb and Annick; the first time I saw Ian as if I saw me, the second time I saw Ian, it felt like he was not me. I can only recommend a few of my unforgettable classic scenes here:
1. Ian asks Debo to forgive him for cheating, with tears all over his face.
2. Annick said sadly to Ian, afraid of falling in love with him.
3. Ian's frantic swinging of his arms before his epileptic seizure.
4. Ian sang "SHE IS NOT CONTROL" for the first time.
5. Debo finds Ian who has passed away and desperately holds the child in the street and calls for help.
6. Black smoke from the chimney.
Nothing else to say, just see for yourself.

Control quotes

  • Ian Curtis: I don't want to be in the band anymore. Unknown Pleasures was it. I was happy. I never meant for it to grow like this. When I'm up there, singing they don't understand how much I give and how it affects me. Now they want more. They expect me to give more. And I don't know if I can. It's like it's not happening to me, but... someone pretending to be me, someone dressed in my skin. Now we're going to America. I have no control anymore. I don't know what to do.

  • Ian Curtis: 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.
