@MiaoPurrington Well, you know about ziggy stardust and stuff? Right? well, it's sooo exactly like how it all happened - it showed (especially the scene with the break-up with the wife) too much of the negatives of david's break-down. Also it seems like they've taken a lot from Angie's side of the story - like the sleeping with mick Jagger (angie bowie did actually say that 'when you see two men sleeping together, completely naked it doesn't necessarily mean they had sex'[rough quote])but yeah
People say about this movie that it's complete fantasy, but that's not true. It's by no means to-the-letter accurate, and a lot of the characters' histories are amalgamations, but it seems to me that the mechanics and events of the era are pretty well documented, plus with glam rock, the further away from plain reality you get the closer you are to embodying the true spirit of the era. Bowie's PR girl, for instance, completely made up everything she wrote under the name of "David".
I can totally see the Ziggy-esque characteristics they incorporated.
The only reason I sought out to watch this movie was because I read in a biography (of Bowie) about it. And you can't go wrong with them lovely Brit accents.
It's ambition is admirable, but it's too bad Bowie didn't like the film. It really did have some high points, the music especially(not one for all the drug references though)!
Just watched the movie, its pretty much the life story of David Bowie but changed slightly to make it more theatrical. I didn't like how they tried to make Bowie look like some careless rocker who was all style and no substance. It really played to the stereo types of Bowie. Still a pretty good movie though.
I too originally watched this movie only because Placebo were in it. But it has become one of my favorite movies. Put the DVD in and forget about the rest of the world for a little while.
Wanna see this movie cause of the actors n subject, but dont like anything from todd haynes. Did you see "im not there"? heath ledger but the movie was boring as balls.
@Petrellibrothersfan Yeah I know!!I should've mentioned him as well!So have you watched it?I did and it was AMAZING!!!!!!I LOVED IT!!!I watched it two times in two days lol !!Love the soundtrack as well :)
The only reason i ever even wanted to see this movie was because it was loosely based on david bowie and friends!! (and ewan mcgregor being in it just makes it better)
Whah! That's so awesome! You should really watch it, it's great! ..unless you're a friggin' homophobe then, but since you're a Adam Lambert fan, I choose not to believe so;p
Everyone should watch this move, it's the best I've seen!
My friend tried to explain the plot of this movie to me a couple years ago in an effort to get me to watch it. All she would've had to say to get me to watch it was "Eddie Izzard and Ewan Mcgregor. In one movie. Yes, that's right, one movie." XD
yeah, after writing my comment I saw brian molko in one of the related videos... so I did hear right, cuz I thought I heard his voice, but you can never know for sure
Wow, you people being nasty to the Adam fans are ridiculous. "Oh no, people like this so that makes it uncool now!!!" Jesus, I liked bohemian rhapsody before Wayne's world, but you know what? I STILL LIKE IT! Because I'm not so freaking shallow that I have to stop liking something because it becomes main-stream. You really really are pathetic. Get over yourselves.
Listen, don't tell me you have never heard of Bowie. The guy is a legend and I don't think that Adam Lambert was even born in 72. he was born in 82. This is a movie about David Bowie the original glam rock star, and Iggy Pop, the Godfather of Punk.
oh come on. david bowie has been my favorite artist since i was eight. how do you think i head of this movie? because i love david bowie, lou reed, and iggy pop.
okay, no one cares if you're an adam lambert fan, just so you know. so stop saying you watched it because of him. if anything, you're giving him a bad name. ALSO, to the people saying he ruined it for them (because of his fans), don't blame him, blame them. they're the dickheads, adam isn't. he just loves this movie. okay? GOOD.
I just did, I like his voice.... a bit melancolic.... I don´t watch american idol, i´m not from USA that´s why I didn´t know who he was!!! Thanks for answering!!!
I've never seen this movie but I'm interested in seeing it now. Also, Adam loves it (he would!) but I have been kinda interested in it for a while. Before Adam!! *g* It looks good actually.
i just boght dis movie, n it is fantastic, i luv it 2 death. i've watched it like 3 times, n i haven't even had it 2 days!!!! wonderful acting in this flick!!!
the music in this film is amazing- i dare say it is better than the film. thom yorke singing for brian slade- placebo- pulp- johnathan rhys meyers- ewan even sings some. then they threw in lou reed and- just wow.
This film is absolutely brilliant. Really enjoeyed it plus it has a lot of great music in it. Many Steve Harley songs :D Love the Brian Slade character : )
