For a while, I was influenced by Brokeback Mountain and Maurice, and I looked for a lot of same-sex movies to watch, and I came across Velvet Goldmine. To be honest, the only impression I had of this movie when I first made it was that it seemed to have Christian Bale and Ewan McGregor in it. Needless to say, Bale, the first Ewan movie I watched was I Love You Phillip Morris, in which Ewan was shy and shy. Oh yes, I suddenly remembered that the first movie I watched Ewan was supposed to be Black Hawk Down, but I didn't know him at that time== and it was too difficult to recognize. Among the many handsome guys, only Josh Hartnett was noticed, I didn't even notice the flowers =.
I didn't watch it right after the movie, but went to watch a few other movies. Coincidentally, there was August Rush in it. Louis just appeared in the club and sang. I thought this guy was really recognizable. I was selective. Prosopagnosia immediately remembered him. Lyla met Louis on the roof that night. When she looked up at him for the first time, I found him so handsome from that angle. The cousin who was watching with me next to me said that the handsome dad of the little boy really has the temperament of a singer. Then I checked and found out that Jonathan is actually the starring role of Velvet Goldmine and the male protagonist of "The Tudors" that I have been planning to watch!
That afternoon I finally clicked on "Velvet Goldmine". Wilde appeared at the beginning of the film, which made me mistakenly think that I accidentally clicked on another film about Wilde that I had saved, and I went back and confirmed that it was VG. When I saw the young Bale, how could his makeup make me so embarrassed, I couldn't bear to look directly. Brian Slade, yes, that's him, I saw him with short blue hair, heavy make-up, a shiny silver bodysuit, and he came up on stage in his gorgeous, noble, ethereal feathers, and fell backwards after being hit by a bullet, feathers all over the sky Floating around, I was instantly amazed. And then he showed up singing that damn good hot one, and I'm a freak if I wasn't attracted, Bale played the poster from that album that his fans bought, beautiful face, nice shape The young body, lying on the red velvet blanket, is very charming. Auther, who became a journalist years later, was tasked with investigating the fraudulent death of rock star Brian Slade.
From here I interrupted the movie for some reason, but I listened to the Hot One over and over again. After that, I didn't watch it for several days, because I was reluctant to
watch it again~ After watching it again, I have completely fallen. The 19-year-old Xiao Qiao played Brian's peerless elegance, flirtatious and charming, just like that line, it is also Wilde's "Dorian • "The Picture of Gray", "The world is changed by you, because you are made of ivory and gold, and the curve of your lips will rewrite history." He has blond shawl and long hair, wears a gorgeous purple dress and high heels. He holds a guitar and sings "somebody call me Sebastian..." with a slightly hoarse voice, which is strangely pleasant. Later, he knew that it was Xiao Qiao himself. I can't find this song in the original soundtrack, it's a pity.
"It's the grotesque and colorful flowers in the greenhouse, it's the white goblin, it's the alert Persian cat, it's the slender, bright-eyed ermine, the snake that tempts Eve in the Garden of Eden, and the twisted decoration of Beardsley's illustrations. , the haggard ivory of Morrow's brush, depravity, indulgence, evil, sex, and—beauty." That's how someone described him, I don't know if it was Brian or Joe, but they were both The owner of this sentence.
The long-haired Ewan also shocked me here. He played the rock singer Curt. The scene was really strong, so open, and wild. I remember someone said that Ivan really acted like what.
The first time I didn't see the plot, I didn't understand it very well. After reading the encyclopedia and the film review, I understood it, so I watched it a second time and finally understood it.
When it comes to rock, especially glam rock, I can say that I didn't know anything before this, but it didn't stop me from loving this movie and its OST. At the same time, I was also popularized by David Bowie. superstars.
The OST is really great, many of the capitals in it are very good, in fact, there are a few songs that I love more than the version I sang in Xiao Qiao's movie. I mourned the tragedy of Sebastian again. If Xiao Qiao formed a band or released an album, I would definitely be a fan of the brain. . Ewan also sang the two live songs by himself, which was very explosive. Thanks to VG's music team, there are too many big names.
In the end, BTW, the lead character of the leading actor in the movie is obviously Brian played by Xiao Qiao, and Ewan does not have a lot of roles. When the cast came out, Ewan was always ranked first, because Xiao Qiao was not famous at that time and one of the selling points of the film Is it Ewan, the protagonist of "Trainspotting"? .
