he's out of control

"Would you ever want to sleep with another man?"
"Why are you asking such a weird question"
"Because I wouldn't mind if you did that"
"Are you serious, it makes me feel like you don't anymore? Love me"
"I think so"

Then the familiar drum beat of "love will tear us apart" sounded, Debbie left Ian and walked forward desperately, Ian followed with his head down, this is the most uncomfortable scene , but the music is always comforting.

When Ian read wordsworth's poem to the window at Debbie's house, when Ian said to Debbie on the grass "you are mine, it's your destiny", when the teammates were so nervous before the performance, Ian said "this is just the beginning" At the time, he was so confident and charming, but the dull life after marriage made him tired, the sudden seizure of epilepsy made him terrified, the tired performance, the sudden love, and the guilt for the two women made him never again Unbearable, although there are so many reasons, it still feels cowardly to choose suicide.

I like joy division's music, but I don't like Ian's appearance on stage, the mechanical movements, swaying body, blurred eyes, and deliberately lowered voice make people feel restrained and unnatural (maybe I don't get it).

In fact, what fascinates me the most is the gloomy lyrics in their songs, but the film does not introduce too much about how they were created. The whole story is based on feelings, giving the two women too much space. The creator should be passionate, otherwise, where does the material of the work come from, and the ego should be an unshakable existence above everything, but he is lost.

Perhaps only mature people are worthy of gaining feelings and success, otherwise pursuing them will become a process of self-destruction.
