Cinderella forgot her heroin

Everyone knows the classic love story where the girl unexpectedly meets the boy of her dreams they have their ups and downs but it’s nothing that they can’t solve with a hug and a kiss. This wacky romantic perfect ending story that we all know way too well.  This love story has been engraved into our brains since the day we are born. Sid and Nancy is a different story, a real story where you see the nitty and gritty even when you don’t want to. You see the toxicity addiction and dysfunctional love. Being in a toxic relationship it’s hard you have really high highs and really low lows. You can never get out of them and if you do it’s very hard because even when you’re at those very low moments who can forget those high moments. Sid and Nancy depict this better than any movie I’ve ever seen. They don’t sugarcoat it like all the other movies so you see who the main characters truly are. I’m not gonna lie, this movie is very hard to watch and I don’t think I’ll be watching it again. It’s not because the movie is not a beautiful movie, this movie is beautifully shot and has a great soundtrack but is hard to see. Especially in this time when we don’t wanna see any more reality then we are already getting. As I can tell my mom every day I only want to hear three bad things today so that I can hold onto the shred of happiness I still have left.

The readings that went along with this movie you’re more enlightening then sad it almost helped me tie this movie With the drugs and the fans and the rock and roll Back to cult cinema in a way. It helped me figure out why cult cinema was using these drugs to convey emotion. Which really brought out the audience because I’ve never really seen a film like this A film that showed everything. You can choose whether this is a good or bad thing for yourself. I personally think it’s a movie worth watching at least once.

    this movie definitely does not contain sugarcoating of any kind. depicting everything so raw, maybe because that was their actual reality which just makes it even more sad. i too think that people should watch it at least once!

    I totally agree with your point about the readings doing more enlightenment then sadness. I also agree that the use of drugs in film has been very beneficial in conveying emotions.
    Great post!

    I agree with everything that you said and that this is most definitely a film everyone should watch at least once. There are a few films that I try to recommend to people that should be must-watch films and this is definitely one of them. Also, the drug use in the film felt so real and that at some points it was difficult to watch them slowly kill themselves.
