Factory Girl

Edie Mintern Sedgwick, a beautiful artist and actor, an omnipotent lunatic, is famous for setting fire to the world and escaping from the clutches of his family. Friends are all over the world, and everywhere he goes. There are as many divorces as there are marriages, and she leaves only countless beautiful wishes after her death.

It was the obituary that Andy thought of her when she was chatting with Edie. This girl with a pure smile appeared in front of Andy like an enchanting flower. She was the shining star in his studio and his superstar. They joined forces time and time again to set off huge waves in the fashion industry and film industry, and they unscrupulously enjoyed the billowing fame, wealth, flattery and spotlight. However, his relationship with her cannot be regarded as love. She seemed to be the prey he had found, a flower with the fragrance he liked. She is so beautiful, enchanting and depraved in his factory workshop. He smokes casually, dancing to the rhythm of the music, as if she is the only one left in the world, or answering his question, "Who is your best boyfriend?" "Who gave your first kiss?"... Studio It exudes a rotten and extravagant atmosphere. There are homosexuals, heroin, and all kinds of perverts, including her, Edie. This is a dreamy art world, and it is also an abyss that jumps down to the end.

They went in and out of various occasions together, and for a moment, it reminded me of Sartre and Beauvoir, who also appeared so shiningly in front of the spotlight. But by no means the same. Sartre and Beauvoir are dependent on each other, and Edie is more of a tool for Andy, the tool that inspired him and was finally abandoned. It was only a year. In front of the camera, beside Andy, it was no longer Edie, but another woman. Andy still asked the same question, "Who is your best boyfriend?" "Who was your first kiss?"...Who can remember that always rushing to pay the bill, always smiling and saying "I love you" Girl? Who knows how to spend a cold winter in a small apartment after she went bankrupt? She didn't get anything, just the ridicule of everyone, and Andy's faint words: "I have given you fifty dollars."

Compared with Andy's bizarre image with silver hair and blue complexion, Bob Dylan looked full of sunshine. The encounter between Edie and him makes people feel warm. At Bob's concert, they met for the first time. He put his arm on her shoulder and smiled shyly, but she was surprised and then smiled with joy. She watched him come on stage, play the harmonica, and play the guitar. Like a sweet couple. He called her name downstairs and took her out, she was very happy around his waist. Laugh presumptuously together. And she left him after all, she couldn't bear Andy, or she couldn't bear her radiant life. Although she also understood that she had lost the first and last person she loved in the world.

The story begins with Edie's narration in 1970. At that time, she had returned to a hospital in Santa Barbara, her hometown, to undergo compulsory detoxification. There is no powder on her face, and she is wearing a dress, except for the vicissitudes in her eyes, she still looks clean when she was young. The picture in the factory studio is always dim and unclear, and every minute with Bob is overflowing with sunlight. It is said that there are two versions of this movie. One is more inclined to focus on the days of the studio, while the other focuses on their emotions. What I see should be the former.

In the end, Edie died of overdose. When the reporter who interviewed Andy asked if he remembered Edie, he still had an indifferent expression. We hadn't seen each other for a long time, and we didn't know each other. At this time, the film replays their conversation. It is an obituary written for her when they were together:

Edie Mintern Sedgwick, a beautiful artist and actor, an omnipotent lunatic, burned the world and escaped by arson The name goes down in history because of the clutches of his family, friends everywhere, everywhere he goes. There are as many divorces as there are marriages, and she leaves only countless beautiful wishes after her death.

The story finally came to an end. The last thing that appeared was the girl who smiled and said "I love you" to people. The factory girl who left countless beautiful wishes after her death. And love is not important and irrelevant.

    Although I love Sienna, she is too different from Edie Sedgwick.
