Control.....

Yes, I finally saw the movie "Control", the story of Ian Curtis the enigmatic lead singer of the influential British band Joy Division. It was an amazing movie. I didn't get to see the movie in the theater and read that it came out on DVD in June so I was looking to watch a good movie on ON Demand yesterday, cause I have been in bed all weekend, and as I was searching through all the movies I saw that Control was on the list. This absolutely made my day. I really loved this movie and I loved that it was shot in black and white. I love Samantha Morton, who played Ian Curtis' wife Deborah. New comer Sam Riley did an amazing job as Ian Curtis. Not only does he resemble Ian in the movie but his mannerisms where very close to Ian's. What a sad story it was. I cried at the end. My husband suffered from epilepsy so I know first hand how poor Ian felt most of the time. My husband went through alot of hard and trying days with bouts of depression as well. My husband's seizures did alot of damage to his memory and speech at times. But anyways getting back to the movie, I thought Ian Curtis was a lovely man. He was an amazing song writer, singer and performer. He had an odd stage presence but it was also very magical. Though I was way to young to enjoy Joy Division when they first started out I do enjoy their music now and I loved New Order when I was in High School. I highly recommend that if you have On Demand that you order this movie and watch it. I know most of my friends have already seen it cause they are all huge Ian Curtis and Joy Division fans but those of you reading this who don't know me go watch this movie. You will be glad that you did. R.I.P Ian Curtis. Forever in our Hearts!!!!
