When Im sad I normally just listen to sad music but today I decided to watch the sad film about the sad guy of the sad band I listen to when Im sad.
The colour scheme is fuckin' black & white, and they fuckin' speak as if there's a golden shite. The fuckin' movies are all overblown, the fuckin' powers and all those fuckin' guns. The fuckin' people are fuckin' stupid, they fuckin' talk as if they know it. The fuckin' music is fuckin' fucked, what sadness can give, not a fuckin' thing could. The fuckin' love is fuckin' unreal, with all the fuckin' dance and all them fuckin' seals. The fuckin' cigarette is not going to fuckin' help, coz' them love-birds are going to yelp. Though the fuckin' music stays alive, through the fuckin' rope and through the fuckin' blue eyes.
The film chronicles the life of Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis, tracking his journey from his school years in 1973 to his suicide in 1980.
Control was directed by Anton Corbijn in 2007, marking his feature film directorial debut.
Control is rated R in the US for language and brief sexuality.
Control won multiple awards, including the Caméra d'Or Special Mention at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival.
