After a few short conversations, Sin-Dee in bra + hot pants stepped on the catwalk in Donut time aggressively and twisted out to ask her boyfriend. Kick off this Drama. Bright orange filter, sharp rhythm, noisy electronic music and tight drum beats, the opening is full of fire, dazzling and hilarious.
It has no profound connotation, and the script is even relatively thin, but the pseudo-documentary style presented due to the subject matter and the real identities of the leading actors is still eye-catching and impressive.
This is not curiosity. It is true that it is a minority group, and this is surprising, I am afraid that it should reflect on its own loneliness and narrow-mindedness. The script is flimsy. If it were replaced by ordinary men and women, it would be just a piece of chicken torn apart. And it is precisely because the protagonists of the story are these transgender sex workers that it reflects that their lives are no different from ordinary people. They will love, be jealous, hug each other, and be full of vitality. This is not a profession that is ashamed and does not need sympathy. On the contrary, they think it is no different from the general business trade. They live proudly and enthusiastically, just like the overwhelming orange.
Sex workers and clients, Armenian taxi drivers who lead the family alone, forbearing and considerate wives, powerful mother-in-law, slutty drug dealers, these marginal groups of dramas are concentrated in the bakery of the Asian clerk, behind the glamorous of LA, There are also Donut time, which is too mundane to be on the table, and nooks and crannies like Room 5. From the taxi, you can see the corners of the city: the old lady who lost her pet; the non-mainstream girl who loves to take selfies; the Native American who likes to chat; the young man who vomits a carload of mud after a hangover... a beautifully-wrapped lie. But where is the prosperous world without sporadic lies and falsehoods? Glorious is for outsiders to see, how can there be no dark and damp corners in the trivial life of ordinary people? What's more, they have to bear some external pressure from ignorance and narrowness.
Fortunately, they will still accept each other, love each other, and tolerate each other. They live cheerfully and enthusiastically themselves, and they also long for equality and respect .
The dissolution of desire under the pressure of the city has nothing to do with gender and sexuality. Under the orange sky of LA, everyone is just as ordinary.
