I don't have any real 'favorites', but I'm glad to say that I think, nay, I've decided that my favorite movie is "Hedwig and the Angry Inch". I have so much admiration for John Cameron Mitchell, for doing all he did to create this character, this show, this tremendous STORY that conveys so many different ideas and emotions and irregularities about (of course) Life and Love.
I didnt think of "Hedwig" as a love story at first. I thought it was different right away, absolutely. I mean, come on, first of all it was a rock opera musical, featuring an (almost) transgendered female singer and her life story, which is definitely one that sounds fabricated enough but still so appealing. I think the drag make-up, sparkly costumes, and guitar-heavy music distracted me from it, but it's there.
I lost my train of thought about six minutes ago, and it's a shame because I know I have so much I want to say about this movie. But I think my adoration/connection to this movie deserves a clear and coherent explanation rather than my usual fluffy ramblings typed late at night with one eye.
I have to say though, now that I've made a concrete decision on something in my life (albeit a fictional rock musical/movie), part of the me hopes the Universe will take that into account, since I'm inherently indecisive about EVERYTHING. It sounds silly, but I'm proud of myself, and I hope this is the beginning to me really starting to know myself.
Whatever, the sap in me is trying to beat down the door to my fingertips. I'm going to bed. Although I really am quite satisfied with myself at the moment.
