"Do anything makes you happy and forget about the others".

Rating: 10/10 (16 May 2005)

When he was a little boy his mother told him not to play with his toys because he would never grow up and become a man. When he grew up, he understood that life isn't so easy as it seems. He tried to make it right and easy by dressing like a woman, singing in the rain about an unfaithful love and dreams.Yes, Velvet Goldmine is a movie that talks about dreams, pain, love, hate, jealousy and all the feelings that a person can hide deep in his heart. I have seen many films but this was great because it understood the spirit and the way our society is trying to hide or follow. It's no way out. Love is a great feeling no matter the race, sex, appearance. Curt Wild and Brian Slade are special heroes and represent the fall of a great history. They are trying to take us behind the red Curtain when the show can't go on. David Bowie was the first who tried to take people in this glamorous, dangerous, risky, dark world of Rock and Roll. And I think he fulfilled his ambition. Velvet Goldmine is a movie that talks about people who are lost. They are trying to find the truth in drugs, lies, music and delusion. No, no they don't find the true meaning of life after all, but in some peculiar way they change themselves into a creature is not so real but it is so beautiful, deferent and attractive. It's a try. We are all trying to change ourselves and the world but we can't. These guys did. Velvet Goldmine is a world that we all wanted to see but we couldn't see it, at all. Brian Slade is a thin, clever, ambitious boy. Fame made him take things over and made him loose. That's why he is trying to find someone like Curt Wild. He wants to love and be loved in return. He wants to raise his hand and touch the lies and sell this captious world, forget about what people say and follow his heart. I don't care if this movie is a gay film. I care about the purpose that this movie was filmed and the central idea people will take in the end. "Do anything makes you happy and forget about the others". It's great when you can live in a fairytale just for a while, no matter how it will cost to you. David Bowie was a Legend. Ziggy was a myth. We always remember you! We never forget! Because when you write history your soul and your mind must be open. Bowie changed our point of view as well as he did with himself. It's good when you want to become another man because if you are the same person all your life, your past and future will be so dull and boring as the bedtime stories that your mother used to say to you in order to make you fall asleep under the serious, crazy moonlight.
