"A tribute to Ian Curtis" as found on youtube.com, ... very moving...
Der Film "Control" über Ian Curtis, den Sänger von Joy Division (Vorgängerband von New Order) hat mich sehr bewegt. Ich kannte die Bandgeschichte und das ergreifende Drama um Ian Curtis durchaus schon im Vorfeld, war dann aber doch über die Detailgenauigkeit des Films absolut begeistert. Zumal ich dann doch auch noch so einige Dinge erfahren habe, über die ich bislang noch nichts wußte. Viele dieser Details haben mich dazu bewogen, im Netz noch etwas mehr über die Hintergründe zum Film zu forschen.
Hier ein paar interessante Funde meiner Recherche:
"Eine tolle Zeitreise" - Interview auf 1live mit Alexandra Maria Lara, welche die Geliebte von Ian (Annik Honoré) gespielt hat.
The first film of its kind to chronicle the reasons behind Iraq’s descent into guerilla war, warlord rule, criminality and anarchy, NO END IN SIGHT is a jaw-dropping, insider’s tale of wholesale incompetence, recklessness and venality. Based on over 200 hours of footage, the film provides a candid retelling of the events following the fall of Baghdad in 2003 by high ranking officials such as former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, Ambassador Barbara Bodine (in charge of Baghdad during the Spring of 2003), Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff to Colin Powell, and General Jay Garner (in charge of the occupation of Iraq through May 2003) as well as Iraqi civilians, American soldiers, and prominent analysts. NO END IN SIGHT examines the manner in which the principal errors of U.S. policy – the use of insufficient troop levels, allowing the looting of Baghdad, the purging of professionals from the Iraqi government, and the disbanding of the Iraqi military – largely created the insurgency and chaos that engulf Iraq today. How did a group of men with little or no military experience, knowledge of the Arab world or personal experience in Iraq come to make such flagrantly debilitating decisions? NO END IN SIGHT dissects the people, issues and facts behind the Bush Administration’s decisions and their consequences on the ground to provide a powerful look into how arrogance and ignorance turned a military victory into a seemingly endless and deepening nightmare of a war.

Für mich hat es hier damit angefangen, Dinge aufzuschreiben, die ich einfach nicht vergessen wollte.
Don't get confused about that posts are sometimes in English and sometimes in German. ;)
