Out of control memories

If a movie can express Joy Division, then Joy Division is at best a British post-punk band. Therefore, the movie can only be used as a part to make people miss Joy Division.
In fact, I don't believe that Ian Curtis's private life will be as monotonous as the movie describes except for composing songs. Although he suffers from epilepsy, even though people say that he is withdrawn, and he likes Jim Morrison, who died young, once you become famous, your private life will become extremely rich or chaotic. But if you want to see how Ian Curtis is in the movie, then this Control is definitely not for you.
I like the overall gray tone of the movie. For me, if I use color to interpret the voice of Ian Curtis, then gray is the most appropriate choice. Ian Curtis's voice is deep enough, depressing enough, and enough to break the gong. It is this voice that is harmonious enough with Love Will Tear Us Apart. The famous Love Will Tear Us Apart, I have heard countless versions of covers, but there is always something missing from the original singer. I guess, Ian Curtis’s brain has a gray attribute different from ordinary people, and this This attribute happened to cause his epilepsy.
I have never understood why Joy Division was translated into a happy squad. If I didn't know Joy Division before, I would presume that it was a small independent band in a small workshop because of the name.
In this era when indie music is all the rage, the movie Control evokes my nostalgia. As a dead man, I don't know whether to call him great or cowardly. Countless people regard Joy Division as a classic of Post-Punk.
And I only miss the spirit.
When music is divided into various types, it is difficult for people to judge whether it is good or bad. But the spirit is a whole thing, you will be sad to hear Joy Division, but not deliberately pretending to be sad.
The movie scribbled Joy Division, but I prefer this kind of perfunctory thing, it's like memory. No matter how much you like Joy Division, you can't remember every song.
As for Control or Lose Control. I feel more like a problem with epilepsy. I heard a lot of people's comments on the movie, but I was just looking for a memory that was out of control.

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.
