out of control

"Control" I'm not very familiar with the band Joy Division. After watching this film, I was surprised. It was gray and painful without even a smile. The rock and roll in black and white images is more like a pure Spiritual expression, that kind of emotion is too complicated, Ian Curtis is also a talented rock singer, but life is full of confusion, as well as painful epilepsy, and the town with strong black and white contrast is also full of a kind of chill Indifferent, the whole film doesn't have any artistic touches about rock, instead it's a rock spirit that makes people feel very real, this is the rock of Happy Squad, this is the rock of Ian Curtis, but it is so real Also out of touch with everyday life. This is another beautiful and profound biographical film.
Extended Reading

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.
