velvet goldmine vid

[obsessive24.livejournal.com]

This is a vid from Todd Haynes' 1998 cult film, Velvet Goldmine, chronicling the relationship between Curt Wild (Ewan McGregor) and Brian Slade (Jonathan Rhys Meyers). Most consider it to be a thinly-veiled David Bowie biopic.



The Man Who Sold the World, 8.32MB, 3:21 minutes, music performed live by Nirvana (original by Bowie). Contains brief nudity, drug use, and of course gay themes.

That was EXTREMELY well done! I adore Velvet Goldmine and your vid was just perfect. Loved the quick cuts, the attention to the beat and the way everything went together.

It flowed very nicely and you made great clip choices.

I also loved the scenes of Curt Wild singing, especially since it was to a Kurt Cobain song. I've always thought, even though Ewan's character was supposed to represent Iggy Pop, that especially toward the end of the movie he had a real Cobain vibe and sound.

Really, very nice job!

Thank you for your lovely comments! I really appreciate it. Hehe, yeah, I was very aware of the Cobain thing Kurt had going on, and of course Brian was Bowie through and through, so I knew I had to make a VG vid to this song. The themes all just came together, which was neat.
