The film is all black and white, which is in line with the music concept of JOY DIVISION and the tragic life of IAN CURTIS. There are not many descriptions of JOY DIVISION, the film highlights how IAN CURTIS's personal spirit collapsed and ended in death. The film is very realistic, and the pictures taken by the camera are beautiful. The only downside is that I should have heard "THE IDIOT" when IAN was hanging, but the background music is obviously much worse. In the end, my wife found in the house that IAN's scream after hanging was matched with the background music, which was the most enjoyable part of the whole film. THAT'S ALL, I THINK.

Ian Curtis: I don't want to be in the band anymore. Unknown Pleasures was it. I was happy. I never meant for it to grow like this. When I'm up there, singing they don't understand how much I give and how it affects me. Now they want more. They expect me to give more. And I don't know if I can. It's like it's not happening to me, but... someone pretending to be me, someone dressed in my skin. Now we're going to America. I have no control anymore. I don't know what to do.

Ian Curtis: I struggle between what I know is right in my own mind, and some warped truthfulness as seen through other people's eyes who have no heart, and can't see the difference anyway.
