The most coquettish person on this planet will soon be 69 years old

Brain Slade "Velvet Gold Mine"

This is a movie that no Bowie or gorgeous rock fan can ignore. Although Bowie himself did not authorize and was dissatisfied with Todd Hay Ince's "biography" film, the image of the actor Brain Slade has become another parallel shadow of Bowie in the movie world. Although the name of Brain may come from his friend Brain Eno, the two protagonists of Brain and Curt Wild in the film are believed to be mostly derived from Bowie and his "friend" Iggy Pop. Hines described the gorgeous rock period as a short and brilliant radical era, and regarded Bowie's later transformation as a "betrayal" attributed to mediocrity.

Cracked Actor

There is no black history. How can you be considered a rock star? Bowie was once addicted to cocaine. This dark history was later made into a documentary by the BBC and became an episode in the "Omnibus: Cracked Actor" series. Inspiration from drug use may not be an excuse for Bowie. The "Thin White Duke" image he created in 1976 is said to be inspired by this drug use past.

David Bowie I am me

David Bowie suffers from "heterochromia", which gives him a unique pair of "demon pupils". This not only became his Icon, but also added a touch of weirdness and science fiction to all his screen images. This effect was actually given by his friend George Underwood.

Forbiden Colours Forbiden Colours

In "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence", David Bowie and the Japanese music master Ryuichi Sakamoto staged a period of forbidden color ambiguity between Japanese military officers and British prisoners of war.

Glam gorgeous

No matter how the style changes, David Bowie will always be a cultural symbol that Glam Rock cannot ignore. The Glam style in Bowie's bones will not end because of the disappearance of gorgeous rock. On the big screen, he is still a man walking with his own "Camp" mode.

Hunger Hunger

With a thin and pale face and a weird right eye, Bowie is born to be a vampire. In the movie "The Hunger" (The Hunger), Bowie and Catherine Deneuve play a pair of millennial vampire couples, which are somewhat similar to Jim Jamush's "Only Love Eternal Life" setting. The vampire-like hungry face has also become another classic screen image of Bowie, but the most memorable thing in the film is always Bowie's old makeup.

He even did something that mortals could not understand-giving my son Duncan Jones, who was only 8 years old at the time ("Source Code" The director of "World of Warcraft" watched "A Clockwork Orange" full of violent scenes, and he sat next to it while watching it as a commentary to his son. It is probably only Bowie who can think of "A Clockwork Orange" as a "Growth Guide".

Lindsay Kemp (Lindsay Kemp) is the key figure who brought David Bowie into the door of avant-garde art. This mime master not only inspired Bowie's physical The expressed interest also spread his love for Kabuki to Bowie. The "teacher-student relationship" between the two is strange.

David Bowie never hesitated to try all kinds of weird looks, and his style in "Maze Labyrinth" is also somewhat similar to the style of the originator of the Japanese visual system X-Japan similar.
