The emotional tragedy of a hundred years ago did not quickly dissolve in the streamer because of its established nature, but was like that enchanting daffodil waiting for the drowning person in a pure water.
If you just simply love that so-called alternative and unconventional music, or a defender of traditional aesthetics, then please stay away from this enchanting film, or you will suffer infinite pain because of your soul.
At the beginning of the film, with impeccable romance and symbolic emerald brooch, it came to the world with an abandoned baby, just like the kind of fire that Prometheus dropped when flying through the sky, destined to be dazzling and bizarre. Colors. Arthur Stuart is a reporter for a newspaper. His current task is to restore the bizarre suicide of Brian Slade. The brightest superstar Brian Slade disappeared mysteriously. Unfortunately, Brian is also the epitome of Arthur’s entire youth. The naked CD cover, that kind of brutal and glamorous, is a poisonous poppy inserted in Arthur’s heart. The blood monster, the pulse spreading all over, is still lonely and sad. Arthur collected the scattered fragments scattered when Brian's glory bloomed in a pious and obsessive attitude, remembering the soul of youth and comfort that had been lost, until he found Brian Slade's ex-wife, Mandy Slade, did he piece together the days of burning life for dreams. . Although Mandy Slade has no glamorous traces, frustrated, tired, and depressed, Brian in his heart is still a weird elf from an alien planet.
Brian Slade and Mandy Slade met in the New Year in 1969. He was shy and shy with short curly hair. He was attracted to her. He liked the freewheeling style. "Do you know how to dance?" Brian Slade asked, and Mandy nodded with a smile. So they got married.
At the same time, with the support of the businessman Di Xieli, Brian began to get closer to the music he wanted. Brian couldn't find his own style at this time, and his first performance ended in a mockery.
As a pioneer of punk, Curt Wild has endless destructive power. The rhythm of "TV Eye" is like a bullet, hitting the center room in an instant, oozing bloodshot and broken threads. He yelled and lost his energy; yes, if you don't shake it, you will roll. . This is a complete rock idiot. He has a free and wild musical soul, and he devotes everything he can to enjoy the extinct joy that is comparable to the climax of each performance. Brian still had improper makeup, so he just stood in the audience, looking up at the performance that was close to lewdness with a hunger, but suddenly realized obsession. At that time, Brian was just a music lover with forward thinking. Obviously, Curt Wild's shocking performance became a catalyst, igniting the fire and letting go of the trapped beast. At this time, no one would have expected that the moment when the sky thunder hooked the ground fire would be enough to start a prairie fire. In the face of visual and spiritual shocks, apart from calmly indulging the gorgeous and extreme factors in the body, everything else is stupid. Thin red lips, obscene heels, indisputable sex differentiation, and swinging rhythm. Everything can be resisted except temptation. Brian Slade became a style overnight. Glitter rock, exchange youth with soul. Brian has always been addicted to Curt Wild, and the sudden storm swept all his senses and took away his sustenance about love. Even if you have been married and have enjoyed all kinds of body temperature, you will still be empty and unbearable without that symptomatic antidote. When the successful Brian found Curt Wild who was addicted to drugs, his enthusiasm for a long time appeared in his eyes and there were other things. Curt Wild only needs a look in his eyes to obliterate everything around Brian, let him come to him like no one, open the door, and embed blood and bone in each other's souls. Evenly matched, sympathetic, and the most primitive and animalistic pursuit of love is completely reflected in their music. They have been completely obsessed with that gorgeous acting game. The man standing on the top of the stars kisses passionately, everything is like heaven. This coquettish is destructive, and there is a radical that wants to change the world. However, after all, there is no happiness in the fairy tale in this world. After all, unity and conquest are equally unsuitable for unrestrained souls. Curt Wild's departure hurt Brian cruelly. He sang a song of nostalgia and burst into tears accidentally. Perhaps in essence, Bowie is shy and easily shy. Part of his crazy musical inspiration comes from his fascination and worship of Curt's style. He can never do that kind of truly wild and arbitrary personality. He was attracted to Curt, like someone looking at another world, he tried to touch, as long as he got close. Later, he approached, but madness was not something he could create, so Bowie couldn't integrate into that original musical role after losing Curt, so he had to die, in the most beautiful moment, just like Dorian. Glitter rock is dead. The rest is secular and mediocre.
In terms of a kind of doctrine of the golden mean, this is a film that should be dragged out and shot. Lawless hysteria is simply a rape of tradition and rules. This is not a film that allows the whole family to watch happily. He should belong to a tragic young man who once tried to change the world and was smoothed by the world when he woke up; but don’t be depressed, awkward, and uncomfortable. The aggrieved chaotic crowd full of sadness and nowhere to find pleasure; (of course, LOLI don't come near) he can only be remembered but not yearned. In the 30 years of gorgeous rock and roll, that era with the color of beauty, the dusty common sense is old and defeated funny.
I am not a follower of rock culture, nor is it a factual work. Although he would be confused by the curves of those lips, he was a second-rate bystander after all. Therefore, I will not seriously discuss the various entanglements of David Bowie and Iggy Pop. Those entanglements that belong to the parties can only go to the story that cannot be reproduced. Don't delve into those eye shadows, nail polishes and platform shoes. It would be damn to use the current scientific and technological achievements to measure the meaning of an era. And because of that imperfect superficiality, the era of drunken gold fans was reproduced.
Todd Haynes is obviously full of wisdom. He arranges the whole story quite rationally. No matter which side of the spectator is, he can find a more desirable ending. It may be a kind of demeanor when he is the most beautiful. At least no one likes to see the beauty disappear. . Of course, it's also Cult, but the story is so clear and pleasant that few people can't understand it! As for music, it is actually silly to evaluate the music of a music biopic, and it is even silly to discuss a soundtrack mixed by many professionals.
At the time of the transition between the old and the new, there will always be so many aberrants to color the change, just as the Renaissance is to improve the tone and texture of every shout. At the end of the 1960s, the world was in great cultural and political turmoil, and love was a bit old and overflowing. , The weak soul is diminishing youth in numbness. When there are no more wars to oppose, no more oppression and violence, what should be used to ignite the fire trapped in youth. It was the age of waiting for the spiritual leader. Deviant and rebellious are what it is. You have to be more mad and sensational in order to find a shortcut to balance in the chaos. Standing up from the ruins of hippies, he is full of confusion and doubts about the world, with a unique style of decadence but young and sad but romantic. Todd Haynes grasped the atmosphere well, and all night, on the streets of London, both men and women wore heavy makeup and were colorful. Brian may be changing the world at this time. Arthur, a young man born in a conservative family, basically represents what glitter rock looks like in a worldly perspective, so glitter rock can only influence but is hard to change. So the film oscillates between reality and blur, resisting and compromising on the other. That kind of youth being squeezed will severely suppress the heart and make her beat depressed. Perhaps Todd Haynes is not only chasing a glorious period of rock and roll, but also a life-threatening youth and irrational love at first sight.
Jonathan Rhys Meyers is obviously a very dangerous creature. He has never received any professional performance school training. Jonathan has breathtaking abilities. Although Jonathan who has successfully gained weight is full of vitality and health, Brian must be his most memorable character. He is so beautiful that he drops his chin. To put it bluntly, both want to protect and are more keen to pounce. As beautiful as Dorian Gray and Narcissus.
Ewan McGregor, he is worth looking forward to since "Guessing the Train". This man is very infatuated, I don't know whether it is the indelible danger factor in his bones or the Scottish alpine milk that gave him his natural literary temperament. In short, he broke out thoroughly in every role.
Velvet Goldmine is a bath of warming water, from the limbs to the chest, it seems to have made you breathless, but still hard-hearted struggling out of this gentleness. It's like breaking into a magnificent and grand church. The chant class is chanting solemn and neat tones. The dazzling purple glazed window above the head reflects the dazzling and majestic light. There are crystals and feathers singing in the air. Like heaven. Later, he was suddenly pulled back into the cold iron frame, and reality tortured the texture of his skin, but he refused to wake up even in pain, the mirage that was detached from youth was beautiful. This is a kind of thought. She came too violently and caught off guard. The old excuses wrapped in the surface collapsed. Looking back, her youth was dusty, and her staggering footsteps had been winding far. In an instant it made people understand that not everyone can have the luck of Dorian Gray, who can exchange youth with their souls.
