lonely child

For the music in the movie and the talent of the male lead, I pay more attention to Ian's heart.

I always felt like what I saw was a lonely little child drowning and struggling in the water.

He wants lots and lots of love, he wants everything simple, but he screwed it all up with his own hands.

The two women who love him, unfortunately, do not understand his soul.

But there is no way, their love cannot be as simple and pure as his, the love of ordinary people is always aggressive and exclusive.

Although I can't accept the way he treats love, I still feel sorry for him, just like the lonely child in my heart.

He needs love, a lot of love.

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.
