Why on earth did they hire this girl!? There are much better actors in this world, and prettier looking people. Nancy was much prettier than this girl. She isn't very good actress in my opinion. I would know because I am a proffesional actor in actor's equity and have benn in a bunch of proffesional plays in which I get paid. She is good at the overacting part though. They really should have gotten a better Nancy.
Kurt & Courtney knew each other long before '89 & he chose her stagename from an obit in '85. Kurt's brainchild (LOVE Kills) Sid & Nancy because music producer Mutt Lange brought INXS & Adam & The Ants to meet me. Adam & The Ants managed by The Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren. The title comes from Amy (my name) meaning BeLOVEd. "Kills" comes from Michael Hutchence recording the song "Speed Kills" for '82 movie Freedom. I even helped out on the song by Joe Strummer (mentioning Alabama).
@snowfield667 She wasn't over-acting....THAT is what Nancy Spungen was like when she was upset....i've known several girls who carry on just like that when throwing a tantrum
Hey Red, have you watched the American version of Shameless? If not you should check it out. She plays the runaway mom in it and she plays almost the same character in that show. She is a great actress and I don't think anyone could pull it off the way she does. Also, in the movie, notice how Courtney Love plays the same fake groupie? LOL.
yea i've youtubed the real nancy spungen a thousand times and this chick reallyyy doesn't do a good job of capturing nancy's demeanor.. and her voice is fucking annoying - i didn't like her, at all. i think courtney love would've done a better job, hell she's practically is the modern day nancy.
Gary Oldman was perfect as Sid! They really couldn't have found anyone better! Chloe Webb, on the other hand, was a bad choice for Nancy. She doesn't look ANYTHING like the real Nancy, nor sound like her. The real Nancy was prettier and less annoying. And Chloe overacts aswell which is a bad habit actors slip into. Courtney Love deserved to be Nancy. She would have totally hammered the role!
I actually really like Alex Cox's movies.....but he should stick to fictional movies because he is not very good at depicting movies based on real people......LIKE THIS ONE.
I love the fact that morons bitch about Chloe being "annoying" in this part...hey dummies, she was playing Nancy Spungen, one of the most annoying slags of all time.
Courtney Love wanted to play this role. She was not even a real actress back then and she looked like Tina Yothers. They made the right choice. A great Chloe vs a green Courtney. Right choice hands down.
it's scary just how amazing gary oldman is, and he looks just like sid! I wouldn't watch this movie I don't think, that chick who plays nancy seems annoying as fuck
I read Courtney Love auditioned for the role of Nancy. She stated "I AM Nancy Spungen". The movie producers wanted an established actress so she was not chosen. Although I thought Chloe Web was good in this, Love would have certainly been an amazing addition . She actually is in the movie as a friend of Nancy.
I've seen this movie many times,I think it's one of the best ever made.I love this kind of sick, dezastruous ,stormy, mental love stories.The film was quite touching specially at the end
Oh I totally agree with you, Webb almost makes her likable...the real Nancy was a real dark cloud.
But honestly, I think I'd rather watch two hours of Webb than two hours of the sullen cunt Spungen any day. I mean, watching the actual interviews was hard, she's very unappealing and if Webb played her exactly, I think it would have ruined the film just like Nancy ruined the Sex Pistols. HA!
I think she did a very good job. When you watch the interviews with Sid and Nancy, from which much of Webb's dialog is based, Webb really nails it. Of course, scenes like this one and "The farewell drugs" scene, there's a great deal of artistic license taken because there's no documented footage or audio of Sid and Nancy fighting or of Nancy really flipping out. The real Nancy did have an effected British accent that Webb doesn't use. But aside from that, I think she's quite accurate.
One of my all time favorites! I know every line to it....the Goths have Rocky Horror, I have Sid and Nancy! Btw, I agree with Radioactive 1080, the bloke playing Rotten sucks! Seriously, not even remotely close. Rotten always had wit to his negativity and snide. This guy plays him like a real wanker. Oldman and Webb though....uncanny!
In the last band I was in our singer had a girl like Nancy, always wanted him, kept us from doing band shit. She earned her name "Lil Nancy" Thanks to her, our band fell apart.
yeah she is! I haven't seen the movie for a few years so I could be a bit wrong but she's in the beginning I believe crying and screaming about Nancy's death.
the phone box scene has always blown me away! it's because it's one of the only true bits of the movie and because Chloe Webb actually punched out real 1/4 inch thick british phone box glass due to her own emotions and past. the "barbie doesn't have bruises" bit those bruises were REAL from the phone box scene!
I don't know if there is film of the phenomenon, clubs didn't have security cams in those days. I meant that when you were at the club, as a patron, observing, you always knew where Nancy wass because it was where everyone else wasn't.
I'm terribly sorry if I offend anyone, but I really do not care for whomever it is that portrayed Nancy. She doesn't look anything like her. I know Nancy was no beauty queen, but she was thinner, and had pouty lips as well as thick eyelashes. At least, that how she looks in most of the pictures I've seen her in.
Yeah, it's a cool movie but it's too fucking fictional. It focuses too much on the people's stage prescence and not enough on their actual personalities.
I FUCKING HATE THIS MOVIE I HATE IT I HATE IT.. THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT IT WAS GARY OLDMAN THE REST WAS SHIT.AND NANCY DIDN'T EVEN SOUND LIKE THAT. LOOK AT ALL THE FOOTAGE OF HER.. AND THE GUY THAT PLAYS JOHN LYDON IS TOO FUCKING OLD LOOKING AND SOUNDS LIKE A FUCKIN RETARD..nancy was only 5 ft 1 in. not like chloe. fuck this movie in the ass.
You're right, but it's kind of hard to do a movie exactly like someone's life, especially if they're dead. I give them props for making it well. Gary Oldman rocks... as usual.
She was even more annoying, you could actually watch the most crowded club part like the red sea when she walked through because people wanted to get away from her so badly.
@Creperumband i th,nk the movie is amazing....if you look at it in a different perspective...i think gary oldman played sid,chloe webb played someone else.nancy was absoluetly smart and did everything to make sid popular. she really trusted him and sid loved her too.they were great couples.nancy wasnt annoying.
@lesterclaypool1 Its not the movie, read the book Nancy's mom wrote, she even believes that Sid loved Nancy. Also he had a gf right after...so what? He needed someone there no one knew what he was going through and apparently his new gf wasnt enough becuz he ended up killing himself.
I've read Nancy's mother's book, she saw them together once and had no experience with the codependency that comes with addiction. I'll take the opinions of those who saw them together frequently over a mother's very sweet, but based on no evidence, wish that her daughter had found some happiness in the last few years of her life
@lesterclaypool1 Not only did she see them once but Sid also sent her letters about how much he loved Nancy. I believe he did love her and NOT AT ALL did I believe her mom had/showed any hope that her daughter had happiness in the last few years of her life. I believe her mom was just being raw and honest. And whos opinions are u taking? Many ppl that knew them both believe they were in love. IN THE END NO ONE KNOWS BUT SID & NANCY.
@neonangels123 Nancy was annoying to some ppl BUT DEFINITLY NOT TO SID<3 If she was he wouldve left. He couldve gotten drugs/sex from any other girl. And I agree with u this movie is good from a perspective. PPl take the movie too seriosuly. its a movie not a BIO.
I think it might be a slight fabrication of a conversation Nancy had with her mom. U should read Deborah Spungen's book 'And I Don't Want To Live This Way.' Great read...
