Velvet Goldmine



beautiful movie. wonderful script. marvellous acting. great soundtrack. lovely memorable quotes:

Mandy Slade: It's funny how beautiful people are when they're walking out the door.
Mandy: Now, just because someone sees, you know, two naked people asleep in bed together, it doesn't necessarily prove sex was involved. It does, however, make for a very strong case.
Curt Wild: We set out to change the world... ended up just changing ourselves.
Curt: Listen, a real artist creates beautiful things and puts nothing of his own life into them, OK?
Brian Slade: Man is least himself when he talks in his own person... Give him a mask and he'll tell you the truth.
Brian: Rock and Roll is a prostitute, it should be tarted up.
Brian: There is suffering at the birth of a child just as there is suffering at the birth of a star.

england in the early 70s. the birth of glam-rock. wish i'd been there. well, actually... somehow i'm always there.

I liked the one that says "Give him a mask and he'll tell you the truth"....so sad and so true.

Hey Edilma, that's my favourite as well.

And Nilz my thoughts exactly

...they definitely are.

Nice post as usual Nilz

Some masks are worth seeing; some are not.

Some are worth looking under....
