Remember the once beautiful and sad life

23. After all, she is still too young, too young to bear the double test of her body and mind. Love, marriage, music, life, he said, so it was my life began, so it is now I am a man, so it be when I shall grow old, or let me die...I could wish my days to be bound each to each by natural piety... In the end, his 23 years and everything he had endured in those years burned into plumes of black smoke in that chimney and dissipated in the gloomy sky.

Ian, 23, is just a sad child who has not grown up. Not only Annika, but also Debbie, a part of his life that he could never give up. No matter what the real reason for his suicide was, his uncontrollable illness, his guilt-ridden love, the derailment of his music beliefs in reality, or something else, the director of the film just insisted developed his photographic vision - black and white images. Maybe it was the infernal pain of spirit and flesh that took away Ian's young life, but who knows? Because of this, although he has weakened other details of Ian's life and musical life, it is enough, and the black and white image shows a mysterious sad Ian.

What I want to say is that Sam is an excellent actor, and those eyes, expressions, tears are uncontrollably sad. Without too much body language and without too much plot rendering, we can already read Ian's helplessness, hesitation and confusion on that young face. This is worrying.

All the episodes in the movie are great, the most familiar song "love will tear us apart", interspersed in the black and white film, makes people cry.

Don't write too much, I hope you also like this movie, and I hope to remember Ian like remember Curt, remember those beautiful and sad lives, souls full of fanaticism and belief in music and life, how? Sadly perished.

Control quotes

  • 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.
