Let go of that drunkenness - "Velvet Goldmine"

Mr. Liang Shuming divided his attitude towards life into three parts: "chasing after", "wearing away", and "serious". Everyone has experienced "chasing after" and "weariness", but they may not be able to understand "seriousness". Solemnity is the rarest attitude in life. By chance, what got me reading this was a dizzying movie — Velvet Goldmine. There is a dreamy starry sky at the beginning of the film, and there is a boy with red lips dyed with blood in the dark. All the seemingly understated but inexhaustible foreshadowings gently stir a miracle. When the scene turned to the street, the young men and women in strange clothes hurried and chased the symbol that led the era in their eyes. They were just crazy about a superstar who was indistinguishable from male and female with heavy makeup. The appearance of this person shook the whole society. Values, mixed reviews, chaotic sexual liberation, everything came unexpectedly... Later, the superstar Brad appeared coquettishly, twisting his waist and making a stunning appearance. With a bang, Brad collapsed on the stage, and the story reached a climax in just a few minutes.
The entire film is narrated by a reporter Andy (played by Christian Bale) for clues. OK, I have to say, at first I just came to chase the movie for Bell, but I didn't expect a series of surprises. Let's talk about Andy first. He was a member of the chasing superstar Brad in the 1970s. In his hard life, he bought the idol's records, collected all the news about the idol, and was obsessed with the idol's words and deeds... Maybe today, Andy doesn't know if he's a true gay man or if he's lost his way by chasing idols. But when the murder of the superstar is gradually revealed as a conspiracy, everything seems to be back to square one. The investigation continues to uncover the veil of the fall of the superstar. In the process, Andy's life is reincarnated again. And the superstar Brad, who went from obscurity to being ambitious, and then unscrupulously performing sexually suggestive performances with Curt on stage, and finally the two fell apart due to various events. Abandoning the dream and finally standing on the stage again as another secular singer, in this process, inadvertently explained "chasing after", "weary away", and "solemnly". When all the truth is revealed, in addition to reminiscing about the era of drunken gold fans with a hint of sadness, I can't help but ask myself, are those dreams that have never been given up still there? This movie is a legend of one character and a memoir of another character, a masterpiece that will be drunk and memorable.
The most addicting thing about this movie is Glamor Rock. People who love rock must not miss this movie. For the soundtrack of this film, there is a virtual band quietly dedicated to the essence of song after song, that is, The Venus In Furs. If you are not amazed by "hot one", you will be crazy about "babys on fire". If you are not moved by "2hb", you will be heartbroken by "tumbling down". Luxurious decadence. Music will never be outdated, and we don’t worry about being surpassed. Everyone has a music hall in their hearts. Occasionally a “this situation, this scene” company is the emotion after venting, and it is the key to get rid of confinement, freedom, happiness, comfort, It's like walking in the empty wilderness, facing the frigid wind, but resolutely raised his head and said to the world that wrapped him, "Come on, I'm here." There are still a few late nights where you can close your eyes , repeatedly listening to the music full of soul, and repeatedly sketching a picture of yourself in your mind?
No amount of words, no amount of narration, no amount of sighs, can't match the wreckage of the prosperous and prosperous giant screen in the movie. The maverick superstar returned to the "normal" appearance in the eyes of the public, the paranoid and crazy fans integrated into the society and ran for life, and Wilde, who vowed to carry out the madness to the end, declined.
A gust of wind raised a layer of sand, and after the dust settled, the difference between Jing and Wei was clear, and the heaven and the earth were clear...
