@TheNeonlights102 "What Have They Done to the Rain", a beautiful song by The Searchers. Go here to hear it!
watch?v=w0Ke__hAoy0
The song is about atmospheric nuclear testing. The version by The Searchers came out in 1964, one year after the Limited Test Ban Treaty came into force.
It was originally entitled "Rin Song" and was released in 1962 by Malvina Reynolds. See Wikipedia for more details.
This is WONDERFUL, so fluid, as if it really WAS scripted and played out really well by Edie and Chuck. But it probably wasn't. Most of it was real life, I guess.
@fsanf164 Yes, it reminds me of Cinderella or something like that. Edie was a bit like Cinderella I guess... Terribly disturbed and suffering, but high spirited and so very much alive. For a short while... a very short while. Bless her, she was wonderful!
i find the best way to watch these movies is to pay attention, just have them playing constantly in the foreground wile your not doing anything else: Front-ground life for your fake death, maybe masturbatory.
@happymangaka Oh my god she does, people are gonna give you so much shit for saying that though. selena doesnt have the eye brows but other then that my lord, they look so much alike.
it's so sad how Andy used Edie as an object instead of a person. he just saw her as a temporary muse. I feel bad for Edie. she was a beautiful woman, and it's sad that she fell into the trap of heavy drugs, and died at such a young age. rip edie. you're an icon.
it's like you completely forget you're watching a film, that there is someone behind this filming her... it feels like you are actually there some odd 50 years ago, in her room with her, watching her have this conversation with chuck and the people on the telephone. amazing. warhol may have intended for the audience to feel as if their watching a film, but, i think his intention backfired. i forget that i am watching a film entirely.
It's fascinating just to watch her. Edie was such an exquisite girl, so far ahead of her time, too. Oh, and she more or less invented what's known as "wake and bake"... She would smoke dope early in the morning and think nothing of it, just like other people have coffee and toast. Totally screwed up, yes, but she was incredible.
@dogsstuff Yes, I think so, pretty much. She was one of the first celebrity people to do so out in the open, without any shame at all. It seems to have beea a natural thing for her. Also, she must have been one of the first to say f-ck and f-ck you on camera. Remember, she was a super rich upper-class girl, and women like that were not supposed to do those things. They were supposed to get married and live quiet, ordered lives in fine, quiet areas, and maybe fly to Europe or take an ocean liner.
@dogsstuff You are so right there! She was just exquisite, so sweet, so intelligent and elegant, really a luminous beauty with loads of charm. She also had a number or emotional problems that seem to have appeared in her early teens - anorexia and bulimia nervosa, but also obsessive-compulsive disorders. And later, that became a problem when she began drinking and self-medicating - abusing all manner of prescription medication and illicit drugs. Poor Edie, she really had no chance.
@dogsstuff She was one of a kind, don't you think so? And she wasn't styled by anybody in any way. Edie created that. She created herself - and also her very troubled personality.
@dogsstuff Yes, it's a terrible shame. She had her whole beautiful life in front of her - it had only just begun. She could have been an actress, an artist, a mother. She had nothing. Most of her life was spent on drugs or alcohol or both, or in mental hospitals, locked up in the loony bin. So, that's why she is the only one I would save if I had a time machine. I just wish she'd had a happy life, because she certainly deserved it.
From 3:16 and onwards... I still think she is the hottest girl ever, and it's all in her personality, her spirit. At the same time you instantly see that this was a young woman who was irreversibly lost, and that from this point on, life would only get worse for her. What a shame that the doctors, and everyone around her, just gave up.
I would LOVE to see Andy Warhol's "Face". Its supposed to be like this, but all closeups of Edie's face for something like 66 minutes... It was restored by MoMA in 2010. Oh, and I love the part at 6:54 and onwards!
@quaxk Yes, I agree, and there are many similarities. Edie would steal things, even petty things like Listerine and lingerie, and use drugs in a self-destructive way, just like Lindsay. Except Edie was really intelligent and talented, and artist, with great charisma and bundles of charm. For a few years, anyway, until her very serious mental health problems and drug abuse took over her life completely. She was certainly a unique personality that you can idolize if you want. I know I do.
Edie was a young girl caught up in the trappings of the life of an ego maniac. Did Andy Warhol ever make anyone's life better? At least we have this footage.
@chunkmasterchunk You've been manipulated by the movie "Factory Girl". alot of people felt like this after seeing it, especially since not many knew of Eddie or the Factory before seeing the film. Andy was an artist, he promised nothing but fame to his canvas', and it certainly wasn't up to him to make anyoes life better. People choose their own mistakes. Eddie was no exception. She chose this for herself and took it too far, as every other celebrity does.
7:29 - "At least you chose the easier way" as well as "You do think it's easier going down than going up" just smack of irony in the context of Edie's life. Quite a few lines from Poor Little Rich Girl do. It's amazing how revealing a trivial conversation between friends can be. Obviously that couldn't have been intended by Andy but I do think his appreciation of rawness in film had more behind it than just his nihilism.
Yay this is the one where the duishbag learns to focus the camera lol this btw wasn't filmed by andy as far as i know he just put the camera in the hands of one of his various helpers and then took the credit when people liked it. but in this case the camera man is retarded but edie's beauty makes up for it.
I know most people think Sienna sounds just like Edie (from other posts) but for the life of me I can see absolutely none. Edie just spoke so much slower than Sienna did in Factory Girl, she was on speed, but also took barbituates & downers a great deal, in addition to whatever she's smoking,lol! She also moved a great deal slower (in all the footage I've ever seen her in!) & her lips were so much fuller, I see no resemblence beyond the fact they had the same body type.
@jarileigh people did say she moved very slow and dreamlike, like a japanese kabuki dancer i believe. but even the body type isn't same. sienna is an absolute cow compared to edie. at least sometimes.
@ilcourtlesfilles I agree, it's just that people are always saying how much Sienna looks like Edie, & maybe it's because I was watching videos of Edie before Factory Girl.......I just don't get it!
@jarileigh Ugh I agree, Sienna's voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me. It sounds so artificial, like middle class trying to sound upper class very badly, which I don't really fault her for because her natural voice couldn't be more different to Edie's. I think people who say they sound alike Edie haven't really heard much of Edie.
She was very mixed up, you could tell. 04:42 and onwards is very watchable but revealing. She had mental problems after all, refined as she was. she was curiously entertaining and natural in a funny way.
If I didn't know any better I would have guessed this was filmed in the 20's or 30's. When compared to the colour footage from Ciao! Manhattan it almost seems as though Edie time travelled to the 70's from here.
@xXPinkGoddessXx Yes, but remember Andy Warhol and Chuck Wein and the others used 16mm film and a simple Bolex camera. John Palmer and David Weisman used 35mmm film stock and better cameras, professional, much more expensive equipment, even back in 1967, and they knew what they were doing. But it's Edie's face, body and voice that's the main attraction.
@MowgliX So was it Andy's intention to use poor quality camera equipment? I actually think the dreamy focus and black and white here gives PLRG an extremely glamorous quality, in its evocation of the early days of Hollywood. In 'Lupe' for instance, the film quality and colour footage make Edie a much more familiar, realistic subject (though still a beautiful, mesmerising one).
@xXPinkGoddessXx Yes, I think that was exactly his intention. He could probably get the funding he needed to use professional-grade film stock, cameras and lighting. But that's what he was after, and that's why he even kept the leader tapes of the film stock, kept zooming in and out, and why some of it out of focus. It was low fidelity and punk rock before those were even thought of! Same thing with the music by The Velvet Underground that he sponsored! Other than that, you are spot on!
@xXPinkGoddessXx Yes, and as you probably know, Andy reshot the out-of-focus pieces, but in the end kept them in the final version! So, yes, that was his intention.
im a guy and i love her. or the image she portrayed. i guess she had that quality, that it didn't matter who you were? everybody feels a connection to her, i believe.
@ramonimacaroni I know, that's what I was just thinking. Her voice and accent were spot on! Her mannerisms and look were great, too. One of my favorite films. ^_^
@LostSok No, she cut her lip and hit her head in a car crash in Santa Barbara December, 1964. Her passenger was badly injured. (Her brother Bobby was fatally injured in a motorcycle crash in New York around the same time. He died on January 12, 1965.)
i find the best way to watch these movies is to not pay attention, just have them playing constantly in the background while your doing stuff: Background life for your real life.
@thatBRITTANYgirl I am blind, actually. Thanks for making me feel like a punk. I made the comment without looking at the other ones. I was looking at the scar between her eyebrows... in braille.
I think the whole factory was fabulous, even if it was superficial it had the charm. I love to hate Warhol, and I hate that I like him after all. :) crazy
What's she smoking in that pipe, weed? Have never seen anyone smoke it that way, and there is NO SMOKE! Is it not lit? She keeps asking him if he wants some, so it must be weed or hashish though.
Nice illuminati/New World Order symbolism with the stylized all-seeing eye on the left ear! Warhol was ONE OF THEM!
I thought Factory Girl was heinous from the script to the performance of Edie, how can you watch Edie and think that Sienna running around like a chicken with her head cut off looks anything like quiet Edie? The problem is they portrayed Edie as if she was on Tons of Speed, which she was, but they forgot about all the downers that she took everyday to even her out, so she was really the opposite of that hyper portrayal in the movie. Not to mention the untruthfulness!!!! At least someone enjoyed
Edie, Andy, Gia, etc. Like other beautiful jet setters and socialites. who where and are looked at as young, decodent, rich, male or female. Where missing something that money cant buy. and that is love and stability. They had the world at thier feet, but were so lonely, that inorder to numb the pain they would fall into tragic deaths. .......
Soooooo true! Warhol made the most sense when he pegged Edie "The original Poor Little Rich Girl" and Gia literally begged for love and stability, but people kept leaving her, through death or actually leaving, she had huge abandonment issues, and Edie just never had a chance with her dysfunctional past. I think her beauty lies in her ability to make the most of what she had, & forget the bad and the pain.
Edie Sedgwick, the it girl. She had an interesting, fascinating, unique quality. Not only was she beautiful, but she had such an alluring way of speaking and made a big impression on everyone that she met - an instant success. For years now, countless young people have discovered Edie Sedgwick and felt a strangely compelling, deeply emotional, connection to her. Edie's creation of her persona, of her image, was her art form. Gone, but never forgotten.
i just read edie factory girl, and it says that many of andy warhols films with edie in, just showed edie being edie. no acting, they simply rolled the camera. she had a hard time remembering lines so for the main part wasnt scripted. the whole point of his films were to make them look so bad that they were good. he didn't believe in editing - the film had to look unedited. even if it required editing to make it look that way. he was amazing. and edie was a star.
Oh God... Edie's personal story wasn't really important--it's what she linked, what threads of narrative ran through it, what epicenters of art-culture-commerce-sociology-dialectic and structural egress she straddled. And how she straddled them ! Beautifully, ethereally and rather wobbly later on...''thousands and thousands of white mahhhrble stairs...and nothing but very very blue sky...don't you think that means something it never occurred to me to turn it around..." ARISTOCRACY.
I don't get you there, what do you mean her personal story was important? It's what made her who she was! Are you trying to say that the dream represented her aristocracy? To me it's because her near death incident meant didn't kill her and so she had to come back down to earth.
Edie used to paint a big beauty mark on her cheek. I wonder if she was trying to imitate Marilyn Monroe? Didn't Marilyn have a big beauty mark on her cheek as well?
She sure did. :) I think that was one of the appealing parts of her makeup routine, Andy also loved old movie stars so he must have seen the resemblance. They both had a troubled past and were ment to be famous, no doubt about that.
Edie's beauty mark was natural. Like Marilyn's, she defined it more. I read it was to call attention to those adorable dimples. Don't think she was a huge fan of Marilyn, or anyone for that matter.
She somewhat looks like Selena Gomez

i find the best way to watch these movies is to not pay attention, just have them playing constantly in the background while your doing stuff: Background life for your real life.

Just got back from seeing this in the theatre.
What's she smoking in that pipe, weed? Have never seen anyone smoke it that way, and there is NO SMOKE! Is it not lit? She keeps asking him if he wants some, so it must be weed or hashish though.
Nice illuminati/New World Order symbolism with the stylized all-seeing eye on the left ear! Warhol was ONE OF THEM!

I thought Factory Girl was heinous from the script to the performance of Edie, how can you watch Edie and think that Sienna running around like a chicken with her head cut off looks anything like quiet Edie? The problem is they portrayed Edie as if she was on Tons of Speed, which she was, but they forgot about all the downers that she took everyday to even her out, so she was really the opposite of that hyper portrayal in the movie. Not to mention the untruthfulness!!!! At least someone enjoyed

Edie, Andy, Gia, etc. Like other beautiful jet setters and socialites. who where and are looked at as young, decodent, rich, male or female. Where missing something that money cant buy. and that is love and stability. They had the world at thier feet, but were so lonely, that inorder to numb the pain they would fall into tragic deaths. .......
54666666 2 years ago 6
Soooooo true! Warhol made the most sense when he pegged Edie "The original Poor Little Rich Girl" and Gia literally begged for love and stability, but people kept leaving her, through death or actually leaving, she had huge abandonment issues, and Edie just never had a chance with her dysfunctional past. I think her beauty lies in her ability to make the most of what she had, & forget the bad and the pain.

7:30 is so eerie to listen to. She's talking about how it never occured to her to turn things around, and she's worried about what that must mean.

Redbirdgirl88 2 years ago 4
Edie Sedgwick, the it girl. She had an interesting, fascinating, unique quality. Not only was she beautiful, but she had such an alluring way of speaking and made a big impression on everyone that she met - an instant success. For years now, countless young people have discovered Edie Sedgwick and felt a strangely compelling, deeply emotional, connection to her. Edie's creation of her persona, of her image, was her art form. Gone, but never forgotten.

@MissYouthquaker That is absolutely right! Edie has been gone for over 39 years now, but she is still very much remembered.

She had a lot more potential that what was shown. Edie was naive. It's a pity she wasted it all from drug abuse. Don't be easily influenced!

i just read edie factory girl, and it says that many of andy warhols films with edie in, just showed edie being edie. no acting, they simply rolled the camera. she had a hard time remembering lines so for the main part wasnt scripted. the whole point of his films were to make them look so bad that they were good. he didn't believe in editing - the film had to look unedited. even if it required editing to make it look that way. he was amazing. and edie was a star.
ohdoyouthinkhesaurus 2 years ago 8
Oh God... Edie's personal story wasn't really important--it's what she linked, what threads of narrative ran through it, what epicenters of art-culture-commerce-sociology-dialectic and structural egress she straddled. And how she straddled them ! Beautifully, ethereally and rather wobbly later on...''thousands and thousands of white mahhhrble stairs...and nothing but very very blue sky...don't you think that means something it never occurred to me to turn it around..." ARISTOCRACY.
giannireb68 2 years ago
I don't get you there, what do you mean her personal story was important? It's what made her who she was! Are you trying to say that the dream represented her aristocracy? To me it's because her near death incident meant didn't kill her and so she had to come back down to earth.

Edie used to paint a big beauty mark on her cheek. I wonder if she was trying to imitate Marilyn Monroe? Didn't Marilyn have a big beauty mark on her cheek as well?
Rayarena 2 years ago 2
She sure did. :) I think that was one of the appealing parts of her makeup routine, Andy also loved old movie stars so he must have seen the resemblance. They both had a troubled past and were ment to be famous, no doubt about that.
SteffiCalifornia 2 years ago 8
I don't think so, Edie's beauty mark was natural, she just darkened it. Marilyn wore hers on the opposite side.
xXPinkGoddessXx 2 years ago 3
Edie's beauty mark was natural. Like Marilyn's, she defined it more. I read it was to call attention to those adorable dimples. Don't think she was a huge fan of Marilyn, or anyone for that matter.

If you're talking about the beauty mark inbetween her eyebrows, that was from her car accident on New Year's Eve in Santa Barbara.
