I am watching Velvet Goldmine right now...

AND I AM SO CONFUSED.

Is this the feeling people get when first watching anime?

Well, and it also reminds me of the distinctly confused feeling mixed with mild boredness born of excessive wtf-ness that I'd also felt in my avant-garde film class.

I mean, I read the wiki and I'm STILL confused. o.0 thank god there's pretty people who frequently get naked.

[edit] ::ponders:: this might also be because my musical background is more 'classical' than 'rock', I know that glam rock in general goes whoooosh over my head.

Have you ever seen Citizen Kane? If so, try to transport the overall structure - reporter is searching for famous man's secret, talks to a lot of people from his past, at the end audience finds out secret - onto Velvet Goldmine, it might make it less confusing. (VG has a few additions, the one I remember most prominently being that the reporter - Christian Bale - also used to be a groupie of the singer who had mysteriously disappeared.)

(Also, this is a very random drive-by comment - I was drawn to "Velvet Goldmine" in your headline. *g*)
