Sid and Nancy (1986) - scene comparisons

I made some mistakes on the video, folks. I actually did a pretty good search on KZbin, but not been a Sex Pistols expert, I didn't even know that the shows in the movie had a exact match footage. Sorry! 😕

Hi

[@redadamearth]

You have to remember that at the time this came out, there was nothing like it. "Sid and Nancy" felt revolutionary at the time. I saw it in the theater probably 4 or 5 times, it was just incredible. Alex Cox wasn't trying to tell a literal history; it was an almost surrealist, poetic film that was based on the psychology and emotions of their relationship, not the history of the band. The band stuff is just surrounding that and isn't meant to be "biographical". "Sid and Nancy" is not a "bio-pic" and was never intended to be one. I never understand the people who criticize the film as "not being accurate" when that was never Alex Cox's intention in the first place.

Oldman later dismissed the performance, saying: "I don't think I played Sid Vicious very well" If you have ever seen Alex Cox's movies they are not known for their acting. Go watch Straight to Hell which stars Joe Strummer and Courtney Love, the Pogues act in it. Cox's best movie by far is Repo Man with Emilio Estevez and Harry Dean Stanton.

The stupidest thing in this film is Sid's swastika t-shirt was replaced with hammer & sickle. I presume it was done to cater to American audience. Sid was not a Nazi of course (Nancy being Jewish), he used the swastika simply to appear more antisocial and offensive. The t-shirt probably came from the Sex shop.

Sid did once strangle a cat for no reason. Everyone said Sid was harmless well he wasn’t to that cat and he was only considered harmless because he couldn’t fight.

[@cinzabeary5226]

@@howey935 I think the cat was that cat but they skipped out on that scene. Probably would have been too disturbing but I think it was mainly for the sake of the narrative. The movie hints that there's a possibility Sid didn't kill Nancy but there's still a chance. The real Sid sounds like he was trying too hard to come off as tough and badass, and all scary, picked on people and animals he knew he could harm. I'm sure that poor kitten (I heard it was a young kitten) wasn't the only animal he killed. They try to portray this in the movie. He was really pathetic and weak, naïve and easily manipulated. I'm not a psychiatrist but sociopathy comes to mind.

First saw Sid and Nancy when it came out in movie theaters back in 1986. I had never heard of the Pistols And was heavily into Billy Joel and the Beatles. After the movie was over, I said to a friend I saw it with that the music sounded pretty good. A few days later I bought Never Mind the Bollocks here’s the Sex Pistols and absolutely loved it. I consider it the best rock album ever made.

[@sunshinemoore7717]

People can say what they want, but Gary Oldman made this movie in a lot of ways. I like Sid Vicious and although some say Gary Oldman may have not portrayed his exact personality, I believe not many people could have got closer. Sid was an extremely hard character to portray. I do wish that the film would have been more about Sid then Sid and Nancy in a way , because I believe Sid was more himself without Nancy. Personally I didnt like the real life Nancy. I felt like all she cared about was dating a star and drugs. I believe there was more to Sid Vicious, much more that he never got to say out loud. I think he was a just a kid trying to find a way to live through the punk scene. I like punks. Sid Vicious is my favorite, although I really like Adam Ant as well. But Gary did the best he could as far as the script he had to work with. He did dedicate, losing weight, talking and other things to achieve the outer portrayal of Sid. I think the problem isnt the actors, but the fact that everyone only cared about the star Sid Vicious and not the real boy behind the star. Now if they had made a movie about that perhaps people would have a different opinion. Otherwise, Gary Oldman is a terrific actor and Sid Vicious was more than what a lot of you say. He wasn't just a junkie or dummy. He just wasn't given a chance. That's all I have to say, if anyone wants to argue, it's pointless, Say what you will, but please leave me out of it, this is just my opinion.

I STRONGLY disagree.

The combination of music and paradigm is extremely powerful in this movie, for me at least.

A few of the people I went to college with did, not very many, but, a few, and I remember going to school and everyone was talking about it, whether they liked the music or not, for a few days, and then, it was all forgotten. Years later, I read the book Nancy's mom wrote. I felt sorry for Nancy, but, I don't think I liked her. I really felt sorry for her parents and her family.

This movie is how I became a fan of Gary Oldman.

[@tinoortiga670]

Good job! Very enjoyable video!

[@SceneComparisons]

thanks! :)

[@raindrops21_9]

Watching these clips I want to say that Chloe Webb was brilliant. Gary Oldman is just an acting god as always, but my issue is with Andrew Schofield who just looked utterly bored throughout - nothing behind the eyes. Lydon gave off the boredom thing too but it was always heavily laced with disdain and utter contempt. You could also tell that the wheels were turning in his head, constantly taking his surrounding in and judging everything. ETA: Such a short and heartbreaking life, he wasn't a great or even good musician but Sid Vicious continues to live on. Something about him was larger than life and I still haven't quite worked out what or why that is.

The portrayal of Sid Vicious was Gary Oldman’s second greatest acting performance besides Count Dracula.

[@jasonreese4573]

Bram Stoker's Dracula was AMAZING

[@staticcharm3808]

Sid and Nancy was one of the few movies were the real people were much better looking than the actors playing them

[@tony--james]

this video, "satisfies my Artistic needs" lol

[@erikmolnar6585]

you know there's a lot of problems with this film when you compare the actors to the real people aside from Gary Oldman and Chloe Webb, but it's a very well made film and before KZbin back in the 80s; this was one of the very few sources of any information about the Sex Pistols for someone growing up in Middle America or elsewhere that wasn't London. that's just my opinion. Maybe my opinion sucks but I used to watch this film quite a bit. I think John Lydon was horribly portrayed but his character wasn't so important in this film. It's a film essentially about Sid and Nancy. now before I catch a lot of crap, if I would have made the film, I would have researched all the characters and tried to get them all right. what really makes this film suck is that they are so badly portrayed. But if you get past all that and you want to know what happened to Sid and Nancy, it's a pretty brilliant film. anyway the shot of Anarchy in the UK looks like the studio filming rather than the actual boat filming? No big deal but I believe there is footage of the actual event that you can compare with the film portrayal of it. Otherwise this is pretty cool and I think you for making it. You definitely have my view

Johnny Rotten was quoted saying: "They got our on-stage personas right, but none of us were like that in real life"

[@Eurotrash4367]

0:42 - You should have used actual video footage of the the notorious Silver Jubilee boat cruise on the Thames. The entire event was recorded. And all your dates are incorrect!

[@SceneComparisons]

you are right about the Silver Jubilee boat cruise, I messed up and wrong about the dates

[@mywhychromosome]

Can't wait to see Danny Boyle's Sex Pistols series, just to think of what he could do with the material seems exciting. This was great for what it was, obviously Oldman's virtuoso performance, but also, as has been said, the poetry employed in portraying the abject misery, with occasional brief flashes of romance or 'love' in Sid and Nancy's crash course.

The main fact Is that in the movie they presume Sid was guilty. And we have dozens of footage instilling some doubts, latest Is sad vacation.... In NYC a lot of people knew the Snake back then

[@deaconsmom2000]

Chloe is a good actress, but I guess she was told to play Nancy as some sort of bubble headed bimbo. Nancy had a genius IQ and that should have been incorporated in the film. Nancy could control Sid because she was more cunning, more worldly, and 1000 times more intelligent than he was.

Great performance of Gary Oldman in "My Way" version but still , he lacks to be a heroine addict for beign 100% perfect . Real Sid always had the eyes semiclosed cos drugs+alcohol in performances , specially since he reached the popular state . +money = + drugs = death . Still .. Gary Oldman is my preffer actor by far .
