Oh now here is a fun photo. This is me. AT AGE 12. Yeah. Darn straight. I was a big 12 year old. I was a slightly chunky 12 year old. I was an AWKWARD 12 YEAR OLD.

…Come to think of it there is a good chance I’m actually 13 here…I just can’t remember which summer it was that I went to Seattle. Which is the summer I started taking photos (more early “photography” to come…)

I find this highly amusing as a matter of fact. Also a personal reminder of why I should not cut my hair.

good Lord.

p.s. Those are totally Dickies pants- All the rage at that time.

Control (2007)

I know, I know. I semi-reviewed this film a little while ago. But as anyone who remembers it or just clicked on that link and read it, it was more of a mini-ramble about my own personal love of Joy Division than the film. This film is so incredible that it deserves a proper review.

First of all: Anton Corbijn. He’s one of my favourite photographers. And he directed this beautiful film. The film was shot in black and white, which I’ve thought emphasized the grayness of Ian Curtis’ home of Macclesfield, England and the dreary, almost grim mood of most of the bands work.

Unlike most biopics, this one doesn’t glamourize its subject. It creates a human, three-dimensional sort of portrait of a human being and how his problems effected the people who were once close to him. How those people perceived how he dealt with them. The choices he made and how they hurt the people who cared for him. It humanized Ian Curtis, it didn’t put him on a pedestal and tell the world that he could do no wrong. It made him real.

The acting was equally incredible. Sam Riley recreated Ian Curtis’ appearance and voice quite eerily. He performed several of the bands more iconic songs, like Love Will Tear Us Apart and Atmosphere himself, even using Curtis’ robotic hand motions on stage to excellent effect. He portrayed Curtis simply as a very down to earth young man whose talent far exceeded his abilities to handle it.

Samantha Morton portrayed his very patient and loving wife, Deborah Curtis, who was overwhelmed by her husbands success and her responsibilities to her daughter as a new mother. They married at an extremely young age, even by society back when they really were married. I’ve always thought they lacked the strength in themselves and their relationship to make it work. Especially when Curtis’ epileptic seizures got worse and his on again off again affair with the Belgian journalist.

Control is an extremely moving experience, whether or not you know anything prior to viewing about Joy Division or Ian Curtis’ life. A couple weeks back, I managed to catch the film as it started on HBO and watched it with a friend who hadn’t seen it before or knew anything about Curtis. She’s the sort of person who usually makes comments during a film, but while watching it she was completely silent and couldn’t find the words to properly express her opinion after it was over. A couple of days later, she told me she still couldn’t get the film out of her head. If this isn’t a solid example of how even someone who doesn’t know anything about Ian Curtis can leave this film effected by it, I don’t know what is.

I loved this film more than anything. It moved me. And knowing someone personally who I am was once very very close with who is also epileptic, made this story even more real to me personally. It also enabled me to have much more respect for the band Joy Division and their music.
