Maybe she knew that her life was short—the palmist told her that her lifeline was disconnected and she would not live to be 30 years old; maybe she had an unbearable growth period— Sexual harassment, anorexia, depression, treatment; and perhaps a mistake in the judgment of important choices; Edie Sedgwick squandered her life like she squandered money, so her short 28-year journey It is as dazzling as a flash in the pan, and blooming splendidly and in full bloom like a flaming poppy.
If it is said that in the 1960s, her outfit was the object of young girls vying to imitate, then her influence on fashion continues to this day. Nowadays, on the fashion catwalk, there is a trend of classic popular elements. Complimentary resurgence, such as smoky makeup, long pendant earrings, long hem shirts, halter hip dresses, tights covered with jewelry, naked furs, etc. As a former graphic model of "Vogue" magazine, he is known as the representative figure of the youth movement in the 1960s, and the "fallen muse" created by "Father of Pop" Andy Howo, Edie Sedgwick The short half-drunk life is full of stories and legends.
In 1943, Edie was born in a super wealthy and historically glorious family in California. The family owned farms and oil fields. However, God gave them wealth but made them unfortunate. The Sedgwick family has a history of mental illness. Edie has been sexually harassed by his father since he was 8 years old. Both brothers committed suicide early or died in a car accident due to mental illness. Edie’s adolescence was like a nightmare. She had seen her father have an affair with her neighbors and informed her mother. However, her father said that she had hallucinations and sent her to a rehabilitation center, where she experienced the first time in her life and the abortion. pain. Later, Edie went to England to pursue her artistic dream. At the age of 21, she left the Cambridge School of Art for New York, and soon met Andy Howo.
The film began when Edie (played by Sienna Miller) left Cambridge in 1964. In 1965, he met Andy Howo (played by Guy Pierce), began to participate in independent film shooting and became a star, as well as her and The love between Bob Dylan. In the film, Bob Dylan is called Danny Quinn, played by Hayden Christensen, he imitated Dylan's tone of speech, and almost made him laugh. As the man Edie Sedgwick loved for the first and last time in his life, now the old Bob Dylan is very disgusted and even angry with the repetition of the past, and he has filed an honorary lawsuit for this.
In the film, Edie thinks that Danny Quinn’s song is full of wisdom and thinking, and Danny Quinn tells Edie that people all over the world are chasing and imitating you, calling your name "Edie Sedgway." Gram", (he points to her heart), but you are empty here, you are no different from the ridiculous cans made by Andy Howo. From then on, Edie's heart was lost and fell into the only love in this life.
After the keen Danny learned that Andy Howo never paid Edie, he pointed out that Andy Howo was just using her and would abandon her sooner or later and ask Edie to go with him, but Edie thought She and Andy are friends, she chose to stay. Facts proved that Danny was right, and this wrong choice made Edie regretted his life.
Andy Howo, who claimed that "everyone can be a 15-minute celebrity," created and popularized Edie Sedgwick, and ultimately put her in a desperate situation. When I first saw Edie, Andy invited her to star in his movie and joined his "Factory" studio. He saw that this young girl from a wealthy background had a story and potential. When Edie and Danny fell in love, Andy, a bisexual man with a pale face, a silver wig and constant glasses, strongly opposed and showed a jealous side. Edie was contaminated with drugs at the so-called gatherings of celebrities and indulged in it. After that, Andy found a girl who resembled Edie to replace her, and began to favor band girls from East Berlin...
Edie is completely abandoned, has no money (the father of a drug addict cut off financial support), and can’t find a new job (many people disdain to use Andy Howo’s props), the apartment catches fire, Edie His hands and feet were burned, and Danny is now married. As a married man, he can only continue his life. Penniless Edie went to Andy Howo for the theory, and Andy said he had given her 50 dollars. And every time she went out to squander, Edie rushed to put it on her account, as if she could have eternal friendship and success in this way. Drugs, alcohol, sloppy, sloppy, and disabled Edie sleeps with unknown men in order to survive, allowing them to shoot her body wantonly. After taking the drug, she can only watch those people take her vaguely.
Her silverware and mink coat... When her old friend Syd took out a photo of her with a bright, healthy and beautiful smile and asked her if she remembered this woman, Edie shed tears and said, "I don't remember her." She ran out of the taxi. , Rushing in the streets. The girl who had a good yearning for painting in Cambridge has long since passed away. Although Danny once thought she was talented, he encouraged her to pick up paint again.
Edie is eager for a new life. In an interview at the drug rehabilitation center, she calmly said that she has the confidence to fight a protracted battle against drugs, and she believes she can. However, she eventually died of a drug overdose in the fall of 1971. The movie says that she eventually died of a drug overdose.
At the end of the film, many artists have expressed their views on Edie. Some people think that she is a collection of the tragic fate of all women. Some people think that she is indeed being used. Some people even say that she is a person who trusts others easily. As long as you tell her you love her, she will say love you more enthusiastically. On the second day after Edie’s death, the media interviewed Andy Howo. He answered inconsistently about her condition and the news of her death. He explained that-for Edie Sedgwick, I don’t know her well. . However, back then, Andy Howo praised Edie (in fact, Andy praised every beautiful person so much), this Aries woman believed it was true, thinking that he was a true friend who appreciated her talent. It was this friend who, together with her other friend Chuck, used a forced question and answer method to uncover the scars of her childhood, which caused her pain, and when she was in distress, she spoke coldly and stood by.
The overall feeling of the film is more or less with the personal emotions of the creators. For a person who unfortunately came to this world and died in a good year, for a former pop star who died of drug abuse, for a famous celebrity romance, In the eyes of outsiders, perhaps they are all looking at flowers in the mist.
By the way, Sienna Miller seems to be able to act since the public breakup with the famous British niche Jude Lowe of her fiancé. Compared with the experience of Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman, Ms. Le seems to be quite star-studded.
