Factory Girl is now one of my favorite movies. Siena Miller is beautiful, and she plays the ever elusive and quirky Edie Sedgwick. Sedgwick was an icon in the 1960's when she became popular as one of Andy's Warhols muses. I think one of the reasons why I enjoyed the film so much is because I am fascinated with the 1960's, especially Andy Warhol. Watching the movie, I remained captivated listening to the script, the cinematography, looking at the sets and the beauty of Siena Miller, but also Hayden Christensen who plays Billy Quinn, a character who is a Bob Dylan knock-off. I also enjoyed the costumes. The mod-inspired clothing was so cool, it makes me want to go out and buy stripes, boots and black and white items of clothing. I think the other reason why I ket watching the movie is because I really felt an odd connection to Sedgwick. I felt sorry for her and I kept rooting for her through all of her low points. Sedgwick did not have an easy childhood, which was probably the reason why she lived the such a fast-paced lifestyle with Warhol and the reason why I kept rooting for Sedgwick to find happiness. Factory Girl from this point forward is one of my favorite movies.
