The movie "Dirt" is adapted from the autobiography of the heavy metal band Clown Crewe. It tells the growth background of the four members and their experiences after the formation of the band. On the whole, because there are too many characters, no point in the story is deep enough. Unlike "Bohemian Rhapsody", which focuses on the lead singer's story line, this movie wants to explain each character clearly, which leads to the development of plot stacking, and does not give the audience room to understand the identity of the characters. The movie itself is filled with a lot of chaotic elements, and the crazy culture brought about by the times actually has a lot of space. Drug use alone can remind people of the classic tuberculosis movie "Guessing the Train." Although "Dirt" also used these elements to do some audiovisual skills, including breaking the fourth wall, the effect was really mediocre. In fact, each of the four characters does use their own space, which is enough to connect the story of the entire band. The acoustic family experience of the bassist, how to treat the band as a family. The drummer pursued the purity of music, then fell, and was emotionally frustrated. The guitarist insists on music in the face of possible disabilities. The chaotic and lost nature at home. Every part is taken out and unfolded can well support this movie. It's a pity that "Dirt" was too greedy and didn't say anything in the end.

The Dirt quotes

  • Nikki Sixx: So here's my theory, okay? If we want to knock people on their asses, then we've gotta give them a show. The punks, they're doing the minimalist thing, so let's take it in the exact opposite direction. I'm talking, I'm talking a stadium show in the clubs, man. Like, costumes and lights and...

    Tommy Lee: Pyro. Flames and shit!

    [Tommy sprays a lighter]

    Nikki Sixx: Exactly.

    Tommy Lee: Explosions.

    Nikki Sixx: Exactly! Look, it's a fucking war out there, and the only way we win is by showing these kids something they've never seen before.

    Vince Neil: So what do we call this thing?

    Nikki Sixx: Where is it? Here.

    [Nikki pulls out his notebook with lyrics and Satanic drawings]

    Nikki Sixx: You know, it's all about being, like, fucking larger than life.

    [Nikki shows them a sheet of paper with a pentagram and the word "XMASS"]

    Vince Neil: XMASS?

    Nikki Sixx: Yeah.

    Mick Mars: On a scale of one to ten, that gets a 1.9.

    [Tommy chuckles]

    Nikki Sixx: It's a play on Christmas, you know. You can use all the Christ imagery and shit. It'll piss people off and make people think, you know. It... It's got shock value.

    Mick Mars: Yeah. I'm shocked by how much it blows.

    [Tommy and Vince laugh]

    Nikki Sixx: All right then, assholes. You give it a shot, but fucking make it big!

    [Tommy gets an idea]

    Nikki Sixx: Here. Use my pen, Tommy.

    [Tommy starts scribbling on the notebook while chuckling]

    Nikki Sixx: What have you got, Tommy?

    [Tommy shows a drawing of a penis and the words "The Fourskins". Vince and Nikki laugh]

    Nikki Sixx: The Fourskins? Really, Tommy?

    Tommy Lee: Yeah. 'Cause we're gonna fuck the audience in the face every night, dude.

    Nikki Sixx: Yeah, but can you see that shit on the marquee above the Forum?

    Tommy Lee: Okay, you're right. I'm out.

    Nikki Sixx: Come on, Mick. You've gotta do better than that.

    [Mick shows them the words "Motley Crew"]

    Mick Mars: I've been waiting a long time for this day.

    Nikki Sixx: All right.

    [Nikki grabs the notebook and does some scribbling on Mick's suggestion. He then shows his version of the name to the band]

    Tommy Lee: [laughing] That's sick, dude!

    Nikki Sixx: Right?

    Vince Neil: Yeah.

  • [Vince runs to the stage]

    Nikki Sixx: Vinnie, come on, man. Let's go!

    [Vince meets up with Nikki]

    Nikki Sixx: Jesus Fucking Christ. You do realize we just signed a record deal with his company and that fucking his girlfriend could seriously fuck that up?

    Vince Neil: Only if he finds out, man.

    [they look down toward Tom Zutaut, who looks at the viewers]

    Tom Zutaut: I found out many years later, and it hurt really bad. Bottom line is, don't ever leave your girlfriend alone with Mötley Crüe. Ever! Because they'll fuck her!
