The world is changed because you are made of ivory and gold. The curves of your lips rewrite history.

Ten reasons why you should go watch/rewatch Velvet Goldmine immediately

dragonmuse:

1. You will sit down and have a two hour experience. It will make no sense. Do not watch the trailer. The trailer is a lie. 

2. Ewan McGregor as Iggy Pop as filtered through Kurt Cobain. Naked. 

3. Jonathan Rhys Meyers as David Bowie with the wigs and eyeliner. Naked.

4. Baby Christian Bale as confused young homosexual. Naked.

5. 2 and 3 occur together.  2 and 4 occur together.

6. During production, the film crew neglected to tell Bale and McGregor that the scene was over and they kept simulating a gay sex scene for ten minutes longer than they had to….that’s not a reason to watch it, I just think its important to know. 

7.  Glitter rock. Punk rock. Music videos inserted seemingly at random. I still listen to the soundtrack. 

8. There’s a scene with Barbie dolls that’s actually an obscure reference to one of the director’s other films, but even knowing that it’s just fucking weird and amazing.

9.  Half the dialogue is Oscar Wilde quotes. Even when they don’t really make a lick of sense. Oscar Wilde would approve of this film, imho. 

10. When you peel all the naked glitter rockness of it away, there’s actually a fascinating story about fame and how pop culture can control politics and you’re never too old to change the world.
