she's lost control!




We went to see this yesterday, I have to say it's a must see for anyone who likes joy division, Sam Riley brought Ian Curtis back to life in this film, based on the biography - Touching From a Distance views from his wife this is a very personal and successful portrayal of the life of Ian Curtis. Strangely a few days ago I was watching Walk the line - a biopic on Johnny Cash, there were many similar elements in both stories, both of them got married at a young age and gained fame through music quickly but then finding it hard to cope with and realising they are not married to the ones they love, both their inspirations seem to come from their sorrows and alienation with family/wife. Johnny Cash fell in love with June Carter but became a pill head(however he did end up happy with June), but Ian Curtis fell in love with Annik then hung himself...
I've been listening to substance too much since last night...now i'm feeling abit suicidal T_T
