The film is a British-American co-production, based on the events of the original characters, directed by the American independent director, Todd Hines, the flagship character of the new queer film, with the living examples of two rock stars to highlight the rock and roll of the 70s landscape. Christian Bale plays the young investigative reporter, Irish handsome Jonathan Rhys Meyers plays the male and female rock star, and Ewan McGregor plays the role of the maniac who takes off his pants. It can be said that the whole plot of the film does not have too many ups and downs. In addition to the various soundtrack rock songs and the eye-catching costumes, Ewan McGregor's pants dance is the most impressive.
To say that the 1970s rock of this film is the most glorious page in the history of rock and roll is to be biased. In fact, the 1970s was the beginning of the decline of rock and roll. There was no sense of direction and the ideal value of rock and roll was lost. Compared with the anti-war ideology and sexual liberation movement of the 1950s and 1960s, the film is also compared with the Beatles, and they are by no means on the same level. If it is said that the rock and roll people in the 1950s and 1960s pursued the greatest extremes by dedicating their lives, then the pursuit of rock and roll in the 1970s has no rules. From sexual openness to sexual ambiguity, the emergence of gender trends is also a matter of course. Rock gimmicks can only be grandstanding with homosexuality and taking off pants. The English title of the film, "Velvet Goldmine", is a fan of gold, which is a better interpretation of the survival state of that period of rock and roll.
