Talk about madness and great ideals

Great ideals do not always fall on great people, but they must fall on crazy people. But madness is also divided into madness ignited by ideals and madness in the inner substance. The former dared to break the shackles, while the latter dared to break everything and enjoy it. In this film about the first all-girl rock band, two kinds of craziness promote the same great ideal.

You have to look proud enough to be worthy of the middle finger pointing up to the world. Cherie's madness is rooted and hysterical, and coincidence with an ideal can only be said to be luck. She is willing to fight for this ideal, but this ideal is crazy enough to let the madness in her heart vent. With the band's heyday, this ideal can no longer satisfy her madness, because the madness from the beginning to the end always comes from the point of view, and the only place to praise is confusion. So her madness spread uncontrollably, drug and alcohol abuse, the pleasure of breaking oneself is almost the same as the pleasure of breaking the shackles. When impure ideals and chaotic life are mixed together, no matter how great ideals are, they cannot hold back the pace of decline.

But a pure enough ideal can give faith to all floating madness. John is the most devout believer of this great ideal. She would rather tolerate sexual humiliation. She would rather listen to the perverted and harsh agent's words. She just wanted to put aside the soft lyricism, plug the guitar into electricity, and shout to the world. Voice rock. This ideal needs to be fueled by madness, so she opened her chest and did not hesitate to turn back. Although this madness ignited her ideals and inevitably burned herself, her enthusiasm for ideals allowed her to focus on music forever. For her, the pleasure of self-depravity is only temporary, and the pleasure of burning oneself for ideals is incomparable.

In the end, there is no suspense in the end of the story. On the day when the madness burns out, after the madness in the inner substance is completely consumed, the middle finger of the vertical world can only become an open palm, and can only take off the clothes full of rivets, and feel at ease in ordinary life; and People who are willing to ignite madness for their ideals are often favored by this great ideal.

In terms of madness and great ideals, regardless of the ending, burning and unbridled growth are enough to recall a lifetime.

    Bring a touch of calm when vincent rings. Really grown up. I was wondering what I would have said about this movie if I went back 7 years and I was still rolling through a manic adolescence. About rock music is always implicated in youth and rebellion. In those days, what we listened to was about our own temperament and publicity. Give one star to your past self

    Cherie Currie: Oh, coming from the actress. Places, places everyone!
