This movie was very hard to watch. Nancy was very toxic but is sad that she had to go out like that. I’m sorry to say but her voice was very annoying also and I recognized it. Nancy is Monica from Shameless and she died in that show too. She was a drug addict but died from brain damage. Back to the movie Sid and Nancy. Nancy introduced Sid to drugs which changed his life forever. He even died from heroin overdose. Nancy was just toxic and Sid dealt with it and that is not healthy. Sid and Nancy were arguing and she ended up getting stabbed in the abdomen and she was drugged to feel it and woke up with a lot of blood loss and died on the bathroom floor. Even before she died in the bathroom, They were so drugged up that they sat in a room that was on fire and watched the flames get bigger. They both could have died right there from smoke inhalation but got saved. This movie was hard to watch because we watched Sid meet Nancy and we watched his life go downhill. Love and drugs make you do crazy things and it’s sad that they had to die. They were constantly fighting and getting high off heroin. I liked seeing how New york city looked at that time though. Watching Sid perform and start shooting the audience members as part of the gig was a surprising scene for me and to watch Nancy walk up to him was weird but entertaining. 

Schlegel said that he shed a tear while watching the trailer to the movie so I decided to watch it but I didn’t feel the same, but this movie has sentimental values to him so I understand. The movie was sad because drugs took both of their lives and they were alway looking to get their next fix. The idea of incorporating drugs into the film and that in itself gained a cult following. LSD and marijuana was big at the time they took them in order to enhance their creativity in making the films. That is when they started putting disclaimers in the beginning of films in order to warn viewers about what they are about to see and how dangerous it is. Raves and club scenes are not the same if drugs are not involved in them and that is something we see today in movies and will continue to see. Something I learned is that “Punks are a product of their environment and grow scholarly attention” and that makes so much sense. The Hollywood cliche we see in romance movies is that we catch the couple kissing in the rain in a cute manner and in this case they were kissing in an alley with trash flying around and that was unique in its own way or maybe that is what drugs do. Besides the movie, Talulla and Patrick did an amazing job tonight presenting their movies.
