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.

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.

Ziggy Stardust
It is more appropriate to end with Ziggy's story. Ziggy Stardust is one of Bowie's greatest creations. He created the androgynous red-haired alien visitor in one hand, and announced his death in a concert. To understand Bowie in Ziggy's time, the concert documentary "Ziggy Star Cluster and Martian Spider" is undoubtedly the first choice. The BBC also filmed a documentary about Ziggy, the title is "David Bowie and the Story of Ziggy Stardust" (David Bowie and the Story of Ziggy Stardust).
