May Elementary Movie Notes (4)

Before everything was beautiful, it was like living in a dream, but behind the bustling there are always neglected contradictions and paleness. When everything is over, all that remains is a name or It's a song...
meet an angel's performance - "Velvet Gold Mine"
I went to a video store and saw David Bowie leaning against a dark blue in a gorgeous women's dress. I didn't know him at that time. He is the representative of glam rock in the 1970s, but it feels a very coquettish special from the album cover. After hearing a maddening Nirvana's "The World Betrayal" from his album, I realized that David is the originator of this classic. After checking the information, it was indeed David's work in 1970. However, Compared with Cobain, David's style is obviously more feminine and gorgeous, so when watching "Velvet Goldmine", I instinctively feel very close to the character.
Absolute visual experience, absolute auditory subversion, psychedelic purple, dazzling blue, ambiguous pink plus shocking and confusing music, a palace-level music production lineup, this is a gift from Ton Hines to advocating himself gift for man. The gay stance of the leader of the new queer film makes it a privilege to witness his bisexual, Gay fashion statement in this film. The gorgeously tailored women's clothes, tight leather pants, body paint, gorgeous dyed hair, and high-heeled pointed boots were the hallmarks of the gorgeous singer who swept the UK at that time.
On Christmas Day 1969, Brian was fascinated by Jack Ferry's melancholy black make-up in a nightclub. Jack is the first person to eat crabs, "Everyone is imitating him, but in Brian it is a kind of nature", he does not need to imitate others, he is born a member of this group, and is the best . Such a person is a hangman of traditional concepts and a pioneer of the times. Some people call him a pervert, some despise him as an intersex person, but in their eyes, he is an angel.
Lens hunting:
1. 100 years later, a boy named Jack reunites with a pin with flirtatious charm, destined to be extraordinary, he discovers the unique talent he should show, and he smears his tender lips with blood. When the bizarre is born into the ordinary, all ignorance will be ready to move, and a cry of isolation from life will germinate. He uses his body to express his interpretation of beauty. He is blue and pink, he can be strong or soft, and his dissolute lover is also longing for the caress of others.
2. Kurt tossed his long hair in garage rock, his black nails ran in his leather pants, he took off his pants and rocked his majesty in front of everyone, and at 13 he was in the toilet for his brother oral sex. His appearance changed the life of others (Slain), and it was him who made others yearn to stand on the stage.
3. In the fantasy MTV, Brian's azure blue dress, red hair, green eye shadow, soft and charming voice all over the country, the whole body painted people crawl forward on the lustful big bed and have sex with two sex dolls, a man and a woman , and Brian peeping in front of the window, this surreal expression alludes to the main theme of the film.
4. Bryan and Kurt use music to transmit sex at the concert, they blow their guitars, and they push their love and the enthusiasm of the audience to a climax in a frenzy. The plot culminated in this gorgeous collision.
5. Arthur holds the table against the door, listens to psychedelic music, jerks off to the newspaper where Brian and Kurt are kissing, his father rushes in and yells at him that he is a disgrace, Arthur begins to cry, making it seem Seeing the miserable cum hanging from his genitals. It's a wonderful portrayal of old school and avant-garde.
6. Brian fell into decadence after breaking up with Kurt. At this time, he has been packaged into a flashy trademark. His career has reached its peak, but his power as an artist has been weakened, and he has only become a fashion endorsement. His wife walks through the gloomy promenade only to see a tragic self-destruction in the rubble.
7. Brian later became pop singer Tommy Stone, a speculator, so Kurt told Arthur that "real artists create beautiful things, but they are useless to themselves", "We are going to change the world, But he changed himself."
The faster the society prospered, the faster people would become empty. It was an era of recovery, an era of creation, an era of blind trends, an era of self-emphasis, and an era of debauchery. Maybe one day, the whole ugly world will be theirs, they are the most vulnerable and sensitive children of the creator, they emit a bewitching light, they emit a deadly beauty, but they are not attached to the sympathy of "normal" society or Contempt, they are - the narcissus reflected in the lake of your heart.
