      Enchanting high heels

      Chiwetel Ejiofor gave a queen-like appearance, with boxer-like muscle lines wrapped in cross-dressing clothes, which is a different kind of enchanting. I have always respected high heels, and have always expressed appreciation for people who are willing to insist on wearing high heels. Seeing people first look at the shoes, sex is in the heel.

      If you have the opportunity, you must go to see a musical adapted from the movie.

      The soundtrack of the whole movie should be the one that...

      fact vs fantasy

      chiwetel ejiofor is HOT!!! Just for him is worth seeing!

      Stark Sands, who was always twelve years old, was hooked to the Broad Street version. Unfortunately, I can only listen to OBC and watch clips, so my impression will not be complete. . .

       The movie is generally a middle-class romantic comedy, and occasionally makes people laugh out of the stomach. From an inspirational/heart-warming point of view, Broad Street is the cure. The movie version is very suitable for its...

      Abandoned children, inherited children

      "Adapted from real people, the characters are based on British Steve Bateman. Today's British comedies have strong inspirational colors, but inspirational and non-rigid, they have to take some winger paths. "It’s about six men who were forced by life to take a striptease and regain their confidence through this experience; "Calendar Girl" is about a couple of old women shooting a nude calendar in order to help their friends raise money, through this Witness the friendship and confidence of...

      THESE BOOTS ARE MADE FOR WALKIN

      From the Internet, I knew that this must be my favorite British sketch with the sentence (PRODUCER OF CALENDER GIRLS) in the promotion. Sure enough, I couldn’t help smiling when I saw the familiar INSPIRED BY A TRUE STORY. The producer of "Calendar Girl" seemed to love it to tell that ordinary people made small things under an impulsive thought.
      Movies of derailment, because they really happened. In the background are small red brick houses, gray streets, blue crystal sky and piles of...

      Queen Control

      I didn't watch it in China, but when I was living in Bangkok, I watched it on Star Movie's cable TV. It was all in English with Thai subtitles. It was not from the beginning, but from the encounter with the queen backstage. But I read it all in one go, and I am very attracted to it.

      Later, I found a pirated disc in China and watched it again. It turns out that the story is more complete than imagined.

      Putting aside that adaptation from real people, an old Oxford shoe factory...

      "Lola is here for applause", chiwetel's appearance is so amazing. From "Pride" to "Boots", we have a truth: the working class is bound to come to a consensus with the LGBTQ, because everyone is the oppressed hahaha. Some lines are too hypocritical, 3.5...

      After watching musical, I came to find it specifically. The plot of the movie and the musical are almost exactly the same, but the songs are completely different. Mrs. Change of the Musical was so successful. Edgerton played the lead role very well, alpha man put on kinky boots~ I decided to follow the footsteps of this year's UK tour of the musical, at least one more...

The PVC fabric Kinky Boots is designed to cater to the needs of special men with fetishism and transvestite. His bold attempt appeared in...

    Shooting process

    It is not easy to find the shoe factory described in the film that is both ancient and practical. In the end, the crew chose North Hampton, the capital of the shoe industry in the United Kingdom. The shoe factory is celebrating the 175th anniversary of the establishment of the factory. The crew is facing a problem How to get a shoe factory with a certain production capacity and scale to suspend work for 3 weeks to shoot a film, after a...

    Movie quotes

    • Lola: [about her father] He wouldn't talk to me. Even when he got lung cancer. So it's ironic, really. Fags got him in the end.

    • Charlie Price: It's what my dad wanted and all.

      Lola: Strapless cocktail dress?

    • Mrs. Cobb: Ah! Now the little pottery shoes, they're good luck, you see? You know, like Whitby has lucky glass ducks, Northampton has lucky pottery shoes. Can I just ask, are you a man?

      Lola: I am, love, yes.

      Mrs. Cobb: Ah, that's fine. Just so's I know how to leave the toilet seat.
