This film is really expressive, Gary Oldman plays Sid, and another Chloe Webb also plays Nancy's madness, first of all, tribute to the director and actors.
After knowing the real story of Sid Vicious, watching this film will feel that despair is more real.
The significance of Sid joining the Sex Pistols is not his musical talent, but his own symbolic significance. As the manager McClellan in the film said, Sid is the symbol of the band. The so-called punk should hold a banner like Sid and tear down the mask of social hypocrisy. But being with drugs is depraved anyway. The agent actually thought about saving him. In the movie, when a disposable pistol was singing live, Mac, who was standing at a high place, asked his assistant and secretary (the prototype of this person is now a top fashion designer, a spirited old man. Mrs.) to help Sid, but was rejected. This attitude showed the acceptance and view of Sid in mainstream British thought at that time. Sid was basically marginalized in society and was despised or ridiculed by most people. However, the Sex Pistols, as a band, were sought after by young people, and their songs Basically, it breaks through the constraints of social moral standards and can shout and vent without any scruples.
What I regret more is Sid. I doubt whether he and Nancy are really in love, especially after watching the film.
Nancy is a mentally ill person first and foremost, and the crazy state of calling her mother to ask for money to buy drugs, yelling and then falling out of the phone booth is really shocking. When I watched it, I felt that it was not her mother talking to her on the other end of the phone, but the voice of an answering machine. I wonder if anyone noticed, or it was just me thinking too much, that is, the director wanted to talk to himself through Nancy. Words yelled to illustrate her mental problems.
Judging from the family's attitude towards Nancy later, maybe she was kicked out of the house. For a person who is willing to be with drugs and give up on himself several times in and out of the drug rehab center, is her family really so desperate to kick her away?
Sid is not so obsessed with Nancy as it is the self-narcotic addiction of drugs. Sid was mentally exhausted from drugs, carved Nancy's name on his chest with a knife, played on the stage with a bandage, made a cross-country call to Nancy, but she was... alas, but fortunately, she still knew to see him in the end.
I think it was Nancy who ruined Sid. She came for ML for the first night and was coldly rejected by Sid. She came for drugs for the first time, and cheated Sid of her kindness and money. Sid actually fell in love with her, the girl who took drugs and let herself go down the road. Sid gave her his life with his heart. He was only crazy for her and abandoned the whole world for her.
But Nancy destroyed and tortured him mentally. What kind of lover is this? The more Sid favors him, the more Nancy does whatever he wants.
In the movie, Sid's solo My way is fully played. This is one of the only songs sung by Sid that can be found in later generations, and it is the most famous one. When I listen to this song after watching the movie, I can't help but want to cry. No matter how Sid sings his cry to the world or laughs at the world's hypocrisy, his true self cannot be tolerated by society. The ridicule of the people was eventually submerged under the social system. It was as tiny as a speck of dust and could not lift up the dust. Is there any reflection in the society? This may be the tragedy of Sid.
The most memorable is the Chelsea Hotel scene, which is the second half of the film, repeating their day-to-day routine, which I think is the climax of the film, focusing on the tragic nature of the characters. At this time, Sid has been abandoned by society. He and Nancy live only for drugs and live a life like hell. The film seems to indicate that Sid killed Nancy himself, not the drug dealer, who just called 911. Nancy angered Sid. Sid just stabbed her, but the two of them could watch the blood flow indifferently and sleep peacefully. It was not until Nancy fell unconscious on the ground that Sid realized that the death had already happened. He took away his beloved little girl, holding the fruit knife in his hand, with a terrified expression on his face.
What the movie didn't say is that Sid hoped to be buried with Nancy after her death, but was opposed by Nancy's family. 's will.
After the film was released, it was banned in many countries, which made me feel incredible; this film was the debut feature of actor Gary Oldman, and he won a newcomer award at the time. It seems that this person's acting skills are very good, and later he often acted in Hollywood. villain.
Sid himself has a huge influence on later generations, basically representing the style of punk. The prototype of the character of the Japanese comic NANA Zhonglian is sid vicious, but NANA has nothing to do with Nancy. It may only be named after the letters in the name. When a group of people sang karaoke in the lost in translation movie, they sang a song called sex pistol.
But after watching the movie, I felt that the society of that era was cruel, some people were crazy and selfish, and Sid could not be copied.
