Control – The Legendary Life of Ian Curtis

Life is full of contradictions, sorrows and joys. The recently deceased "Fat Fat" was very happy on the screen, but behind the setbacks in her marriage and her daughter's rebellion. In the journey of life, it is like "split personality", one is the same as before, and another when one is one. Joy Division's lead vocalist Ian Curtis hanged himself at the age of 23. It may be a pity, but it may be a relief for him. Honestly I don't encourage suicide, but I don't have a hard time guaranteeing that I will have that day. At least this moment I won't commit suicide, because I haven't got the future I want. I ask myself that I don't know much about Joy Division. It was Pixel Toy's Love will tear us apart that made me interested in listening to the original song. I've been looking forward to this movie, and I finally had the opportunity to let me know their contribution to music.



Ian is just an ordinary young man who formed Joy Division by chance and started their musical journey. Teenagers always do something to prove their unruly youth. Ian got married early and became a father in his 20s, because early marriage did not make him see the world clearly, he was tempted, love and family, wife and lover, he had no choice. Finally choose death. A generation of elites have come to an end for their lives, plus epilepsy, the Ian in the movie is the same as the IAN found in YOUTUBE, there is no denying that this is a good movie. Friends who like music must not miss it.

The birth of music requires the perception of the artist. Love will tear us apart is that the road of love always brings harm to people, and the repeated love brings harm to us. I once read Qiu Miaojin's novels, she used death as the end of Montmartre's suicide note and wrote for her own life. She is an eternal artist, long buried in the hearts of readers. Ian's songs still affect people today, and his songs will still endure because we need these people to appear in our lives and reflect on our own lives. The director shoots in black and white, and an independent film takes me back to the old days.

23 years old. youth. elapse. Aroused my inner thinking about life. That's it, go on your own way
