  American Masters . Andy Warhol | PBS
Where the main concern of advertising was to slip into the unconscious and unrecognizably evoke a feeling of desire, Warhol's work was meant to make the viewer actually stop and look at the images that had become invisible in their familiarity.
He saw fame as the pinnacle of modern consumerism and reveled in it the way artists a hundred years before reveled in the western landscape.
What remains certain is that during the sixty years of whirlwind and mystery that was Andy Warhol's life, the art world (and the world at large) became a more fun and interesting place.

The ironic thing about Warhol and Solanas was that the blond-haired guru of art culture was always depicted as this insipid man who relied on his cosy circle of friends to help decide what he should or should not do.
Here Warhol was the throned counter-cultural rebel and in its silver foiled recesses Solanas would meander and observe, her eyes occasionally catching Warhol's through the fog of sex, drugs and glamour.
I Shot Andy Warhol is fascinating in its historical and biographical reality but forces yawns as it depicts a phase in time that has been covered time and time again even if it does have a flair for the more twisted and unusual.

 I Shot Andy Warhol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I Shot Andy Warhol is a 1996 movie about the life of Valerie Solanas and her relationship with Andy Warhol.
The film stars Lili Taylor as Valerie, Jared Harris as Andy Warhol and Martha Plimpton as Valerie's friend Stevie.
Lou Reed of the Velvet Underground, whose anger with Solanas was well known, stated publicly that he did not want any film about her to be made, and would not allow the filmmakers to use his music; instead, Yo La Tengo plays an anonymous and somewhat Velvet Underground-like band.

At the hospital, where Warhol was first pronounced clinically dead, doctors massaged his heart and operated on his ravaged organs for five hours to save him.
At first, Warhol was drawn by the primitive in Solanas and by their similar sense of detachment.
Warhol stalled by giving Solanas an acting role in I, a Man, which inspires Harron to show us, with jaw-dropping verisimilitude, what it was like to make a Warhol movie -- complete with stationary camera, bare lighting, amateur acting and very long takes.

 i shot andy warhol
On June 3, 1968, at the height of Andy Warhol's fame (some would say infamy), a previously obscure woman named Valerie Solanas shot him at close range three times, nearly killing him.
Solanas wants Warhol to produce a play she's written, but it's too extreme even for him, and he blows her off.
Perhaps her worst crime in Warhol's eyes is that she has no style, by which I mean no kitschiness about herself; Solanas gives off obsessive vibes that mark her as unhip -- and, eventually, dangerous.

As rambunctious and subversive as Nico is meditative and elegiac, Warhol is the perfect complement to that film as an evocation of a period and a warning about the future.

A scene in which he and Solanas find themselves sitting next to each other on a sofa in the midst of the jaded bacchanalia suggests that being an outsider is not a matter of gender so much as genius.

 Variety.com - Reviews - I Shot Andy Warhol
"I Shot Andy Warhol," the story of the radical feminist and Warhol fringe figure Valerie Solanas, who seriously wounded the artist in 1968, is an exemplary and dynamic work that goes about as far as a narrative film can in both analyzing a complex personality and portraying a cultural scene.
Butting in on the invitation of her transvestite friend, eventual Warhol superstar Candy Darling (Stephen DorffStephen Dorff), Solanas manages to get a copy to him, and a particularly imaginative scene intercuts Warhol and his coterie giving it a listless read-through with snippets as performed by some drag queens at Nedick's restaurant.
Warhol tries to placate her with a screen test and one actual film appearance (in "I, a Man"), but soon has Solanas excommunicated from the Factory for her disruptive behavior.

The film begins at the moment in 1968 when Warhol is lying on the floor while Solanas is pulling the trigger on empty chambers, aiming at the head of one of his terrorized sychophants.
Solanas was on the fringes of the Warhol crowd but was never an insider; she wasn't a "beautiful person" and her obsession with her revolutionary ideas made her too serious, too weird even for them.
Ultimately, as her obsession slides into paranoia and she becomes convinced that Warhol and Girodias are conspiring together against her to steal her work, she commits her nefarious deed.

 Review: I Shot Andy Warhol   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The script for I Shot Andy Warhol began life as a documentary before the producers convinced writer/director Mary Harron to transform it into a dramatic interpretation.
Most of I Shot Andy Warhol takes place in New York City from 1966 to 1968, chronicling the period in Valerie Solanas' (Lili Taylor) life when she wrote her definitive work, SCUM Manifesto, was introduced to Andy Warhol (Jared Harris), became a fringe member of his circle, and eventually shot him.
In fact, I Shot Andy Warhol is daring because it makes no attempt to soften Valerie's character or blunt the downward spiral of her insanity.
