beautiful men

I decided to watch this movie again, and the first time I watched it, I went to watch it with another rotten girl.
Jonathan Meyers was really young at that time, his skin was radiant, and his lips were hopelessly sexy. With heavy makeup, he had a cool and inviolable feeling of a queen. However, there is still not a little bit of motherhood, Brad (Jonathan Meyers) is a cynical young man.
The image of Ewan McGregor always reminds me of Kurt Cobain, decadent eyes, messy blond hair, thick dark circles, a drug addict look. But that doesn't hide Kurt's (Ewan McGregor's) rock-hard sedition. Kurt is also a handsome guy, a little rougher, more slutty, and more casual than Brad.
At that time, those young people who were in the name of sexual liberation showed their sexual orientation in unison, and they appeared in various promiscuous parties, which was just a kind of rebellious heart. Brad's wife, for example, readily accepted Brad's declaration to the media that he was bisexual, but when she saw that Brad was actually having a relationship with Kurt, it was an infinite blow.
The relationship between Brad and Kurt is what bothers me the most, and I always think that Brad and Kurt are in love at first sight. You can say that he is shocked by his talent, but falling in love with a person because of talent is also a form of love. After all, talent reflects part of a person's life. They come into contact with each other, live together, discuss music, are overwhelmed by each other's talents, and are immersed in one world, as if it is a world that no one else can get involved in. At that promiscuous party, the kind of eye contact they made with only each other in their eyes made my heart flutter. (The Awakening of Rotten Girl Factors)
Always believed that this kind of beautiful man who dressed himself up in gorgeous costumes was the bravest. They dare to release the other side of themselves, and this kind of courage is the most disdainful and the most lacking of the men who claim to be man. The hardest thing is to be yourself. So, let's toast these beautiful men.

    1. A music film about Glam/Glitter Rock, based on the stories of David Bowie and Iggy Pop. There are many intertexts with popular music in the film, and the soundtrack and songs are also selected. It's very interesting, and the lyrics are used to assist the narrative. 2. Hines is good at filming period dramas. The gorgeous and dazzling audio-visual style of this film just fits the coquettish, flying and psychedelic temperament of rock and roll youths in the 60s and 70s. A variety of image collages, hand-held, quick cuts, with rich colors, as well as gorgeous opening and ending design. 3. What moved and sighed me the most was the helplessness and melancholy that the youthful rebellious passion that permeated the whole film was no longer and things were different. The pursuit of gorgeous images and the indulgent life are destined to be short-lived like shooting stars, and we must always be forced to mature and become socialized. Just like Brian who started a new life after "suicide", as Stuart lamented that his life 10 years ago now seems to be someone else's story, as Mandy said, the glorious days of living by dreams are over, as Curt Confession "We intended to change the world, only to change ourselves." (9.0/10)

Velvet Goldmine quotes

  • Mandy: What's true about music is true about life: that beauty reveals everything because it expresses nothing.

  • Jerry Divine: Every great century that produces art is, so far, an artificial century, and the work that seems the most natural and simple of its time is always the result of the most self-conscious effort.
