Too many words to write a short review...

As a music fan of The Runaways, I came to see this movie about them, and found that the discussion was mostly about the actors. Fanning was only 16 years old when he appeared. The plot of the movie was adapted from Cherie's autobiography, and she also participated in the screenwriting work. Joan Jett was involved in the production as a producer.

So Cherie will undoubtedly become the first heroine, but I still like to see this movie as a double heroine mode. I feel sorry for Cherie after watching it. Obviously, the producer has been tricked. Joan is a fugitive. Soul figure, its later musical achievements are obvious to all, and another guitarist Lita Ford is also quite successful after going solo. But when it comes to rock, I'm just a layman. Drugs, sex, and resistance are all too far from my life, but their songs are really good! Their looks are really cool, Joan is really handsome, Cherie is really beautiful! But as far as the movie is concerned, the choreography is not satisfactory. It is not bad for the biographical movie to be straightforward, but there is no ups and downs and it should not be. The whole movie relies on the golden songs of the escape band to set off the atmosphere.

The love between Cherie and Joan is really exciting. It can be seen that Joan cherishes Cherie very much. I don't know if they still have contact later.

The Runaways quotes

  • Cherie Currie: What is this?

    Sandy West: It ain't baby shampoo. I call it the dirty sink. A little bit of everything from my parent's liquor cabinet. Just a little, so they can't tell I'm dipping into their stash.

    Cherie Currie: My dad would notice - he likes his booze.

    Sandy West: Is he an alcoholic?

    Cherie Currie: No, he just likes it. He says that's the difference. He likes to drink, he doesn't need to drink.

    Sandy West: I like to drink.

    Joan Jett: The dirty sink is where we're gonna be puking that shit up tomorrow.

    Sandy West: Hey, Salt 'n' Pepper - race you down the hill.

    Joan Jett: You're fucking on.

  • Marie Currie: You know how many new bands think they're gonna make it?

    Cherie Currie: Kim thinks we got a real shot.

    Marie Currie: Kim Fowley? That guy's a total creep. Seriously, I heard he has a coat made out of dog fur.

    Cherie Currie: Well, excuse me if I don't wanna work at the Pup 'n' Fries for the rest of my life.
