The movie "Dirt" is adapted from the autobiography of the heavy metal band Clown Crewe. It tells the growth background of the four members and their experiences after the formation of the band. On the whole, because there are too many characters, no point in the story is deep enough. Unlike "Bohemian Rhapsody", which focuses on the lead singer's story line, this movie wants to explain each character clearly, which leads to the development of plot stacking, and does not give the audience room to understand the identity of the characters. The movie itself is filled with a lot of chaotic elements, and the crazy culture brought about by the times actually has a lot of space. Drug use alone can remind people of the classic tuberculosis movie "Guessing the Train." Although "Dirt" also used these elements to do some audiovisual skills, including breaking the fourth wall, the effect was really mediocre. In fact, each of the four characters does use their own space, which is enough to connect the story of the entire band. The acoustic family experience of the bassist, how to treat the band as a family. The drummer pursued the purity of music, then fell, and was emotionally frustrated. The guitarist insists on music in the face of possible disabilities. The chaotic and lost nature at home. Every part is taken out and unfolded can well support this movie. It's a pity that "Dirt" was too greedy and didn't say anything in the end.

The Dirt quotes

  • Nikki Sixx: [narration] Elektra Records signed us to a five-album deal.

    [Nikki passes a cymbal full of cocaine]

    Nikki Sixx: Tommy, vacuum this mess up.

    Tommy Lee: Yes, sir.

    Nikki Sixx: [narration] We got a fat cash advance, which meant better drugs and bigger parties.

    Tommy Lee: [narration] We were the kings. I mean, look at this place! Everybody wanted to party with us.

    Party Goer: Can I get a fucking line, man?

    [Mick shoves the party goer away]

    Mick Mars: Yeah, right, man. Get the fuck out of here.

    Tommy Lee: [narration] I mean, Diamond Dave from Van Halen, right there on our fucking couch!

    [party goer approaches David Lee Roth, who is snorting his own cocaine]

    Party Goer: Hey, can I get a line of that?

    [party goer stumbles and hits the wall, causing a mirror to crash on Roth]

    Nikki Sixx: Whoa! What the fuck, dude?

    Party Goer: Chill out, asshole. It's cool.

    Nikki Sixx: Cool? That is David Lee Roth. How about you show a little respect or get the fuck out?

    Party Goer: Make me, motherfucker.

    [party goer shoves Nikki, only to get punched by Doc McGhee, who puts him in an arm lock]

    Doc McGhee: You fellas are gonna need a manager.

    [Doc looks at Roth]

    Doc McGhee: Hey Dave.

    David Lee Roth: What's everybody looking at?

    Mick Mars: [looking at audience] This didn't actually happen. Doc never came to this filthy shithole. We met him at the Santa Monica Civic Center after a show. He also brought his partner, Doug Thaler. Doug's a good guy, and it's kinda shitty he got cut from this movie, but I think this is as good a version as any. So... on with the goddamn show.

    Tom Zutaut: Oh, good. You met Doc. He works with James Brown, KISS, you name it.

    Mick Mars: Fucking hate KISS.

    Doc McGhee: Well, I make them a shitload of money, and I take care of everything they need, which is what I'm gonna do for you.

    Nikki Sixx: Oh yeah? And how are you gonna do that?

    Doc McGhee: Look, I know what I see up there. Anyone can start a band and crap out a song or two, but not many have the vision to go the distance. And you guys need someone to guide you through the fucking wilderness.

    Nikki Sixx: And you're gonna be that someone?

    Doc McGhee: You're goddamn right I am.

    [pause]

    Nikki Sixx: All right.

    Nikki Sixx: [narration] This was our fucking moment.

  • MTV VJ: Mötley Crüe, no strangers to controversy, are under fire again for their latest Satanic song, "Shout at the Devil". The group brushed off all accusations claiming it's shout _at_ the devil, not _with_ the devil. Parents, be warned - the group continues to play the song on tour with the Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne.
