It is one thing to show videos of his dances on stage along with his music in context of his undoubtable genius. It is completely another thing to name such a video as "Curtis epilepcy dance" and show it as some... atrocity exhibition. If it's not a deliberate attempt to insult Curtis, then I don't understand what it is.
Man you should all lighten up a little bit of humour as long as it's not nasty never hurt anyone, joydivision are unbelievably talented Ian's sad death is covered in good article by his daughter you can source this online if you want it. I understand Ian's epilepsey as I am epileptic and have met his widow Deborah at the gowers centre where I was a patient some years ago. It's not just the epilepsy that causes depression but things like type of seizures, medication used to treat seizures and so
It's spot on, his portrayal of Ian Curtis. Just watching 'Control' right now and I'm amazed how much they look alike and how he just became Ian, it's a great movie
@JoeGodfrey1995 You obviously don't know anything about the group or the persona, this was a real person who really danced like that and also had epileptic fits, sometimes on stage, and, sadly killed himself as the band were breaking through. So shut up you muppet, looks like you're the twat!
@OrbitalEyeball Trust me, I do. I listen to Joy Division pretty much daily, it's disrespectful to take the piss out of someone who a) had epilepsy and b) epilepsy was partly behind his death - he was suffering from depression for a number of reasons, one of which being epilepsy hence the song She's Lost Control. I repeat, twat.
@Tombuchaill As a nurse of many years I sure do! I feel that making light of a mental or physical condition with humour lightens the stressful seriousness in emotion that often surrounds it. Wasn't meant to offend, apologies if I did.
If you love The Horrors and Death From Above 1979 or even Joy Division check out The Deep Transition on here or facebook. You will love them I can assure you of that !
This guy was so awesome in the movie...looks like Ian himself. When I read somewhere that he used his own voice I couldn't believe it. I agree with BarwinDarney who commented that this guy should of released Joy Division covers.
@Granter I might just watch this movie but yes I think that's true. It's a really distinct thing about him, The real Ian Curtis is a lot darker than the man in this clip.
I`ve got to watch this movie. Dont know much about the movie nor the actor, but it was very similar. I hope the actor didnt kill himself afterwards, based on this scene, he was fucking awesome. Im happy to have found this
@PapunaOfficial Yes, it happened for real. Several times! Curtis was seriosly ill with epilepsy, but he was still creating with passion. His illness was one of the reasons why he commited suicide, however :(
@BrandNewShoe I dont think he killed himself because of the high pressure in USA. After I saw the movie it looks like he was depressed after the devorce and becauce the seizures had destroyed his carriere
@OceanCity619 i could only feel for his pain.... he was great at what he did but never acknowledged for it......now all these bands want to take credit for what he started....but nobody could ever imagine the pain he went through when he had his attacks..all we could have is compashion...
You stupid idiot this is from the movie... This actually happened during a concert
