Edie Sedgwick, the legendary rebel rich daughter of the 1960s, and Andy Warhol's famous "factory girl", "Vogue" called her "Youthquakers" (youthquakers, word-making skills...), this is here. The 60s trend idol, who died at the age of 28 (drug overdose), is still worshipped as a god by first-line brands such as Christian Dior.

I have seen two biopics about her, one is "Girl On Fire: The Edie Sedgwick Story" in 1992, and the latest one is the "Factory" that I saw today, which was released at the end of 2006. Girl", when the movie was released, her ex-boyfriend’s lawyer was sued by her ex-boyfriend, saying that the film alluded to her death because of this boyfriend. Who is this boyfriend? This is our famous uncle Bob Dylan. And Bob Dylan is of course not her only boyfriend. People say that Jim Morrison and Mick Jagger have both fallen under her knees, and the legendary band "Velvet Underground" is also closely related to her (in the film, Andy stands under the stage and looks at the underground Nico and Edie in velvet, with their eyes shining, just like any lowly villain). Andy Warhol? Since she is called "Factory Girl", there is no need to say more. This movie is based on the triangle relationship between her, Andy Warhol and Bob Dylan. In fact, Bob Dylan made the wrong fire completely. The best victim of this film should be Andy Warhol, because in the film, he has completely become a worthless bastard.

The more interesting part of the film is the part where Bob Dylan (named in the film was changed, of course everyone can see it) visiting the "factory". Both of them seem to treat themselves as not humans, they are gods, and they are full of gunpowder. ridiculous. I once said that Andy Warhol is an "artist breeder." He may be the most famous artist who nurtures artists, but he can only play a supporting role in this movie.

In front of Edie Sedgwick, these famous stinky men may always be only a supporting role, although I think the actress who played her is far worse than the real Edie Sedgwick. . . .
