I watched it in 19 years and now make up the mark. Although glamor in the world of marginalized groups in this society seems more like a kind of self-entertainment in the mainstream society, although there are all kinds of embarrassing hardships and social problems that are hidden behind every chase story and reflect all kinds of intractable social problems, But I think the most moving part is that, as long as there is a certain space for free control, no matter how unsatisfactory the...

Ground-breaking... The queer subculture of the African-American and Latino gay/trans communities in New York in the 1980s grew out of a brutal life. I saw the prototype of "Pose", and by the way, I learned about the life of Jennie Livingston, another role...

【YVR-que】UCLA fix. From small to big, dance halls look at sexual orientation, class, inequality, and culture (vogue and mopping originally came from this). I can understand why it became the pioneering work of new queer cinema. But now NYC has changed a lot. I don't know what happened to the houses and the two...

Classification: Focuses on, expresses personal emotions and subjective concerns, especially as a representational tool for marginalized subjects. In this film, it not only presents a simple "expression model" type of recording and curiosity, but also a Wiseman-style view of the small to see the big, the presentation of the power structure of the bottom society and the "black poor base" mentality of the bottom group pretty good...

Pepper LaBeija: This is white America. Any other nationality that is not of the white set, knows this and accepts this till the day they die. That is everybody's dream and ambition as a minority - to live and look as well as a white person. It is pictured as being in America. Every media you have; from TV to magazines, to movies, to films... I mean, the biggest thing that minority watches is what? "Dynasty" and "The Colbys". Umm, "All My Children" - the soap operas. Everybody has a million-dollar bracket. When they showing you a commercial from Honey Grahams to Crest, or Lestoil or Pine-sol - everybody's in their own home. The little kids for Fisher Price toys; they're not in no concrete playground. They're riding around the lawn. The pool is in the back. This is white America. And when it comes to the minorities; especially black - we as a people, for the past 400 years - is the greatest example of behavior modification in the history of civilization. We have had everything taken away from us, and yet we have all learned how to survive. That is why, in the ballroom circuit, it is so obvious that if you have captured the great white way of living, or looking, or dressing, or speaking - you is a marvel.
