Velvet Goldmine

The first movie I want to talk about is probably my most favorite movie of all time. Velvet Goldmine is a movie about the glam rock era over in the UK. Thought the movie complete fiction I still love this movie to death. Many dont get it and probably never will the movie is a real treat for those that do.

It is about Brian Slade a glam rocker who caused a lot of controvery and even faked his death. Well on the anniverary of the incident a reporter investigates into it and gets pulled deeper and deeper into the truth and this man's life. It Stars Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Ewan McGregor, and Toni Collette. If you ever get the chance to see it I would love to know others opinions.



The music fits the film perfectly with the perfect songs. The songs are up beat and you will have to think about what they mean but still catchy. The whole movie makes you think and I feel you may need a liberal mind to watch it. The ending is slightly odd and will leave you with partly your own interpretation, but totally fitting. The look of the film is fantastic and bright. the acting is really genius because with the contents of the script it could have been really over acted. It leaves a statment for anyone whoever felt different and needed to express themselves despite what people thought.
