Title: Control Post by: BANGKOK RED on Friday, February 15, 2008, 18:20:59 The movie I mean. It's all about the Joy Division.
A good watch but I don't understand the point nehind it all being in black and white. Title: Control Post by: Batch on Friday, February 15, 2008, 18:34:30 I guess it makes it more gritty*, and I guess suicide isn't a colourful subject!

Nah, just get a new job where you work nights and you'll be in sync with us normal people. :) Title: Control Post by: flammableBen on Friday, February 15, 2008, 23:00:11 may I suggest nutmeg?
God I fancy some fags. Title: Control Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Friday, February 15, 2008, 23:00:12 I suppose the black and white thing was all part of Joy Division's image(what little image they had)i.e the cover from 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' and such like. I can see why they would film it all in black and white. It just fits in with their style of music. And also, B+W was very fashionable when JD were at their peak....
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/9d/Love_will_tear_us_apart.jpg/200px-Love_will_tear_us_apart.jpg Jacob's Ladder was a great film. Was it Tim Robbins in that? Title: Control Post by: sonic youth on Friday, February 15, 2008, 23:01:05 films.
in black and white. madness. Title: Control Post by: flammableBen on Friday, February 15, 2008, 23:17:27 It was actually all filmed in colour, they just spent most of their budget on make up, clothes and sets.
Title: Control Post by: sonic youth on Friday, February 15, 2008, 23:28:17 it probably was filmed in colour and converted to b&w in postprod
Title: Control Post by: flammableBen on Friday, February 15, 2008, 23:50:19 nope they definitely did it the way I said. It says so on wikipedia.

TEF is the place to come out Title: Control Post by: leefer on Saturday, February 16, 2008, 00:35:21 As someone braught up on 70,s and 80,s punk and new wave etc i didnt really see wat all the fuss was about Joy Division....good band they were,nothing extra special,in fact a very moody depresing band......thats only my opinion and know they had a big following....dont think i will bother with the film though!
Title: Control Post by: sonic youth on Saturday, February 16, 2008, 00:41:14 you do that.
