The heart is broken. Love begins with self-deception and finally deceives others.

Teacher Wilde is worthy of being a benchmark among a generation of gay men, and the aestheticism is quite thorough in this movie. Everything serves beauty. This beauty is fragile and erosive, like a crumbling building, standing upright this second, and no one knows whether it will collapse suddenly in the next second. The love and peace of the 1960s gave birth to many AIDS patients in the 1970s. What is panicking is which day will they die, there is no pressure to marry a wife and have children, and there is no mortgage or car loan. If you do not pursue beauty, life will lose its meaning. Where they are, so their beauty is as fragile and perishable as the morning dew. When the Tumbling Down sounded, the shaky tears fell down the corners of the eyes, and they made a lot of makeup. They are painful and a generation, and at the same time they are gorgeous and happy. Intoxicated young people go crazy to death in the rock music carnival. Perhaps it is this self-destructive tendency that makes them beautiful and sharp. Broken", in the interweaving of love and hatred, the ending of parting ways is sorrowful and lamentable, but it also creates a kind of near-masochistic pleasure. Their band name is "Venus in furs" It is derived from Mosoc's novel "Venus in a Fur Coat". Who is Mosoc? The M in the term SM in modern sexual abuse is derived from his name and can be described as a pioneer in describing the interweaving of love and pain. I have to say that each of them is true and hypocritical. Under the treacherous and gorgeous makeup, they do not hide their ugliness and selfishness, but because of their beauty, no matter how ugly they are, they can be forgiven. The depression of life makes little reporters obsessed with rock music, whether to follow the trend or follow the crowd. If there is no beauty premise, how many so-called music festival fans will fall in love with rock music because of pure music? Homosexuality, promiscuity, cigarettes, alcoholism, drugs, rock and roll, these things that are always considered bad and rebellious in China used to be difficult to discuss positively. The counselor romanticized all of this and used gorgeous illusions to modern people. Had a dream, even if the dream was cruel and broken, it gave us more or less inspiration. We are not the beat generation, but we also have the right to choose to live and die. Even if this movie is not alluding to David Bowie and Iggy Pop, it is still a masterpiece, the plot is ups and downs, the color is gorgeous, and the soundtrack is a collection of great gods. Although the editing is broken, it is very suitable for the theme of intoxication, of course it may not People who like rock may not understand it the first time, but just looking at the pictures is also very poetic. At the same time, I recommend the guide's Virgo "poison", which is very coquettish.

    She said: I lost our youth, all because of you. He said: We want to change the world, we did not expect to change ourselves.

    In recent years, biopics of rock figures seem to have a trend of blowout again, but as long as they are compared with this one, they are too pale and naive, and they are all just to complete the task of explaining their lives clumsily. For a movie looking back, does it really matter who the character has whose face, just use the movie's time machine to bring back those highlight moments again. What makes Velvet Gold Mine so advanced is not only its stream-of-consciousness narrative and near-perfect interpretation, but also the establishment of Bell's line itself, because this line itself is a process of returning to the high-light moments, which is more direct than the audience's dryness. Much better as a first time recipient. It's hard to have another actor like Joey Van Bell, not to mention that the era of glam rock will only get further and further away. It's been like this for 20 years. A love letter. Having said so much, in fact, my first thought after watching it was that a face so similar to Cobain appeared on the big screen just four years after his death. What was the audience like at that time? feeling.

Velvet Goldmine quotes

  • Mandy: What's true about music is true about life: that beauty reveals everything because it expresses nothing.

  • Jerry Divine: Every great century that produces art is, so far, an artificial century, and the work that seems the most natural and simple of its time is always the result of the most self-conscious effort.
