i think i wanna make it a combination of Dancer In The Dark [amazing movie. watch it if you haven't already], Rent, and Moulin Rouge. i just love the power of the music in both Moulin Rouge and Rent in how the songs are an integral part of the story and the characters. and i adore the raw realism of Dancer In The Dark. no amazing graphics, no unrealistic storyline, just pure movie making set in real life with real people.
i just wish i had the power to make this actually happen. David Bowie and the persona of Ziggy Stardust are such an important part of my life. that music and ideology has nurtured my weirdness, my beliefs, and my philosophical and political ideologies. i want to bring that to the world. i want the simple story of two lovers, set in a real life situation, to make an impact. i want the ideology of who Ziggy Stardust is to affect people as it affected me. David Bowie intended Ziggy to be a savior to a generation, to free them from the grey and suffocating ideals of their parents and grandparents, to unleash their inner gods.
"There's a starman waiting in the sky / He'd like to come and meet us, but he thinks he'd blow our minds / There's a starman waiting in the sky / He's told us not to blow it cause he knows it's all worthwhile / He told me: Let the children lose it, let the children use it / Let all the children boogey"
"Look at your children / See their faces in golden rays / Don't kid yourself, they belong to you / They're the start of a coming race / The earth is a bitch, we've finished our news / Homo sapiens have outgrown their use / All the strangers came today / And it looks as though they're here to stay"
"See these eyes so green / I can stare for a thousand years / Colder than the moon / It's been so long / And I've been putting out fire with gasoline"
