Some Movies (Pts. 9 of Many) (Ewan McGregor anyone?)

Velvet Goldmine (It makes me wonder what Priscilla: Queen of the Desert is like)

A story of Brian Slade and Curt Wilde. A story of David Bowie and Iggy Pop.

A very strange movie, not violent, not scary, not bloody, but everything else.
Drugs, Sex (All kinds of sex), Language (It’s a second language to the people on the screen, and disgusting acts (The Big M to a newspaper). This movie is first; about the story of Bowie and Pop during the glam pop phase of Bowies career, and second; about the sexuality of the glam pop era and how Bowie's statement of being gay was a turning point in England's society. It was a movie that was hard to watch, because of all the sexuality that was going on, with guys kissing girls, guys, and everyone else. There wasn't any sexual orientation, marriage didn’t mean anything important, girls and guys, they're both the same. Orgies, sex, and finding out who you actually are by doing stuff you probably shouldn't. The acting is very good in the movie, I wouldn't say it was amazing, but doing sex scenes with another man would be a very hard thing to do, in my perspective. John Rhys Davies, Ewan McGregor, and Christian Bale are the main players in this movies, and that is really all you need for an all-star cast.

Trainspotting (Literally, the worst toilet in Scotland)

Ewan McGregor stars in this '96 movie about heroin addiction. He is just a regular joe that has an addiction to heroin, and this movie documents his binging and purging and what he'll do to get another fix, then finally going cold turkey for good. During the movie all sorts of things happen, he gets off heroin, and gets back on, and robs stores and old people homes. The baby at the heroin house dies because everyone is too high to even realize they should have kept feeding it, and Ewan's character takes a crap in the nastiest toilet every to be seen in the world, I would think. The acting is typical of a independent type film, with no one except McGregor that you would know, but they are all good actors/actresses, showing every kind of emotion that comes with the death and life of drug addiction. A very good movie, one which Requiem for a Dream and many other drug movies got their inspiration from. Shows the horrors of drug use and why you probably shouldn't get into it in the first place.
