If you are also willing to exchange a long and repetitive life for a luxurious dream

There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you are shameless.
If you dig out the most core things of everyone and then expand them, you will be a unique sample, a trend, and even become a star.
Those who are obsessed with their own ideals or are lucky can find that point on their own, to succeed and to destroy.
But there is more beauty to be discovered with the help of others.
Edie is lucky. She has beauty and spirituality that are different from those of the public, so she won the love of trend-makers as soon as she appeared on the stage.
Then they all became popular.
Later she was abandoned.
Then the plot took a turn for the worse.
Is she too generous? Don't know how to calculate? Still mixed up in the wrong circle?

At the end of the film, there is a shot of Sid taken by Edie when she just left the art school.
At that time, Edie was completely uncivilized, she was the kind of good girl who wanted to go bad, with jerky efforts on her body, and worrying flames in her eyes.
Remember the first time I carefully prepared makeup for seeing Andy. Was this tragedy an unconscious butterfly effect or a long-planned moth to fight the fire?
Fate is held in the hands of others, and is in the hands of a man who is not very able to grasp her own direction, and is not enough. Then, from the moment she succeeds, she is destined to fall into the abyss of losing herself.

What if she just paints with peace of mind from the beginning, or later finds meaning in life with a certain rock singer, and gets rid of those popular, hypocritical, time-consuming poisons, and even beauty.
But she didn't wake up in time, so she became a symbol that every young girl dreamed of.
Like the red and white mass-produced Coca-Cola cans, Monroe or other colorful large-scale print posters, generations of magical idols for entertainment, worship, and prying eyes.

But if I don't squander wildly, I can't think of how to consume the glamorous beauty of edie to get old enough.
The beautiful seems to be born to be destroyed. When it was the most beautiful, it was sealed as an irreparable wound, and with the brewing of time, it possessed the legendary agarwood.

In other words, after reading too many stories about the death of beautiful people, I thought at one point that Audrey Hepburn should have died unexpectedly. . .

Movies are movies after all. For example, the love between a real edie and a rock singer is not as innocent as described in the movie. In reality, she may have experienced more. After thinking about it for a long time, she finally realized that there was no possibility to save anything.
I don't like the sad expression on the heroine's face. Many people think she lacks edie's spirit and freedom, but this is not important anymore.
In addition to the stories of women, there are exciting American dreams and, of course, the dark side of the American dream.
Anyway, when the subtitles came out and the movie ended, I heard my heart say to me: I woke up from the dream.

Factory Girl quotes

  • Edie Sedgwick: To me, New York was Jackson Pollock sipping vodka and dripping paint onto a raw canvas.

  • Billy Quinn: How did a nice chick like you get mixed up in the whole acting racket?

    Edie Sedgwick: Breakfast at Tiffany's. You know, Audrey with her hair pulled back, and she's smoking through the black cigarette holder.

    Billy Quinn: You wanna live in a movie?

    Edie Sedgwick: I never saw the movie, just the poster.

    Billy Quinn: So you haven't read the book then?

    Edie Sedgwick: Well, Audrey isn't in the book.

    Billy Quinn: The book is a bit different. It's about a working girl and a writer, an artist. You see, the artist steals the girl's stories and makes a fortune, and the girl doesn't get anything.

    Edie Sedgwick: Why do you have such a problem with Andy?

    Billy Quinn: Because of what he worships.
