He Lost Control~~

I took the time to watch the long-downloaded "Control" one weekend, it was beautiful and depressing, but I didn't cry...

Maybe I got what Ian deserved, even though he was a genius in his life Suffered from epilepsy, although he committed suicide at 24...

maybe he was too young? Maybe fame came too soon? Maybe the love of two women is too real? Maybe something we can't understand?

We're infected with Ian from the movie, but we still don't know if he'd survived that night if he wasn't 24, if he wasn't that young?

Ian's own pain is only known to him, and maybe people can feel sad for him, but people have no right to judge his choices.

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.
