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.

I guess it makes it more gritty*, and I guess suicide isn't a colourful subject!

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....

Jacob's Ladder was a great film. Was it Tim Robbins in that?

It was actually all filmed in colour, they just spent most of their budget on make up, clothes and sets.

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!
