Hedwig and the Angry Inch

Post by rachelbean » Mon Sep 13, 2010 4:17 am

I am starting a thread for this movie because it is completely awesome and not nearly enough people have seen it :tea:

When I was going to the theatre to see this I expected something campy and silly, along the lines of Rocky Horror, and instead what I found was a brilliant, beautifully scored and extremely clever film. If you haven't seen it, you owe it to yourself to check it out. It is funny, and a bit campy, but it really is a sincere and beautiful film.

One of my favorite quotes:
One day in the late mid-eighties, I was in my early late-twenties. I had just been dismissed from University after delivering a brilliant lecture on the aggressive influence of German philosophy on rock 'n' roll entitled 'You, Kant, Always Get What You Want.'
:hehe:

And one of my favorite numbers:

(this is just after hediwg has gotten a sex change in order to marry an american and leave east germany)

I watched Shortbus - by the same director - recently. Hedwig is on my list. :tup:

But surely it must involve owls?

Disappointment :ddpan:

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

Funny - I saw it when it came out, and about a month ago I decided I wanted to see it again, so it's on my Blockbuster list, waiting its turn. :plot:

It's a fantastic film.

What does the "angry inch" refer to?

I think - and I haven't seen it - that it is something to do with what is left of the guy's penis after his/her sex-change op! :hehe:

Yes, it's the leftovers after a botched sex-change op. :ani:
