The greatness of Curtis is that he is a man

I don't understand movies very well, and I can't understand the profound meaning of joy division's music. This movie gave me a chance to learn about Curtis, maybe what I got is not all true.
The death of Curtis did not make him a god like Lennon, but it was enough to make him eternal. In just twenty-three years, his life passed in a hurry. God gave him a tall figure and outstanding talents, but he did not give him a mature mind. Despite his early marriage, he has always been a child, a child who cannot handle reason and emotions, ideals and reality, and a child who can't really afford the responsibilities of fame and marriage. His inner struggle is so familiar to each of us. The difference is that we have gone through our youth, but Curtis can't move on, and will always stay at his 23-year-old.
The black and white images show his life. When the joy division has not yet reached the level of popularity, Curtis hurriedly left, relying on one person's power to make this post-punk band an eternal classic. But how is all this his will?
Compared to the somewhat crazy Curtis on the stage, I prefer him who is indifferent in life, who often cries. Compared to that rock star, he is closer to us and closer to himself in life.
love will tear us apart, Curtis can understand love, but can't understand marriage, which is why he said that he can't leave Annick and it has nothing to do with whether to divorce Deborah. Tony said that Annick and him love each other, but what about Deborah and him? She was his home, so he died in his and Deborah's home instead of dying by Annick's side.
Regardless of whether the seizure occurred or not, Curtis struggled until he died.
He is a living person, and we, like him, are struggling...until death.

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.
