在这部滚石风云剧情/音乐/传记片中,影片取材于Rolling Stones创始人之一Brian Jones在1969年7月2日猝死事件,导演Stephen Woolley寻访了大量当事人,想必这个揭密应该比较权威,或者,我们就权当看八卦了嘛~~~ Stephen Woolley是着名导演Neil Jordan的御用制片人,二人合作的电影有13部,包括《夜访吸血鬼》和《哭泣的游戏》。
Fact-based story about the drug-addled and sordid life of The Rolling Stones founder Brian Jones. Unfortunately the story moves so quickly into the sensationalized decadence and drug-induced state of Jones, that the unknowing viewer has to wonder why anyone would care. There are only a few framing sequences with members of The Stones, particularly Keith Richards, that show they had a great respect for him and tried to bring him back into the band as he drifted away. Mixed into the destruction of Jones is a common builder, Frank Thorogood, who is given the unenviable task of trying to please Jones by rebuilding his estate and to watch him per Jones' manager's instructions. Thorogood's life is so far removed from all of the sex and drugs that he sees, that he envies and desires the tawdry life as well, but never quite fits in. Unfortunately, at least according to this film and according to a supposed death bed confessional of Thorogood in 1993, it led to Thorogood's murder of Jones in a swimming pool "accident".
真的是Brian Jones的biopic。自毁的快感。反正不是自杀就是他杀。But the thing with happiness was...it was boring.。
