Drag Parody masterpieces in the 70s

A collection of various music & pop culture pioneers and dross in the 1970s, and exaggerated various elements to the extreme. Using Parody's technique, the interpretation is full of fun, which makes people irritate, but makes those who accept the theme of the movie powerless and understand the incompetent hate it. Into the bone, this is: "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", a masterpiece of Drag Parody in the 70s.

One day I accidentally discovered this imitation comedy. The preconceived picture attracted me because the protagonist reminded me of Freddie Mercury.

The movie was shot in the mid-70s, 1975, which happened to be the same year Queen’s classic Christmas concert, and this movie is a Halloween theme, so it was born more than a month earlier.

The leading actor was Tim Curry, but I didn't recognize him when I watched it. His appearance in the movie really reminded me of Freddie at first glance, the young Freddie with long hair and Glam style in the 70s.

This movie is destined not to be accepted by the mainstream, because the Drag style is too heavy, because it involves various controversial topics such as gay, drag, transexual, S&M, etc., and it is extremely exaggerated, but cleverly used extremely comic and surreal. It is a movie that is extremely absurd. It's not only a Parody comedy that makes you laugh, but it can also be regarded as a rock musical. The ridiculous coat is actually a literary film. For the kind of humor, refer to the MV of Queen's "I Wanto To Break Free" (in the eyes of Europeans, it is humorous, but it is banned in the United States).

The title "sweet transvestite from Transsexual, Transylvania" made me smile for five minutes. What kind of horror is this?

    The timeless classic of weird movies, if you don't love this movie, you can only say that you don't have a Cult's heart.

    9.5/10 As a typical example of Susan Sontag's so-called "Camp", the ultimate fantasy, spoof and liberation through nonsensical mashups and collages, Frankenstein + trans + drag + UFO + S/M = Transylvania = joyful version of Sodom

The Rocky Horror Picture Show quotes

  • Richard M. Nixon: [On the car radio] I have never been a quitter. To leave office before my term is completed is abhorrent to every instinct in my body. But as president, I must put the interests of America first. America needs a full time president, and a full time Congress...

    [fades with dialog]

  • Dr. Frank-N-Furter - A Scientist: It was strange the way it happened. Suddenly... you get a break! All of the pieces seem to fit into place. What a sucker you've been, what a fool. The answer was there all the time. It took a small accident to make it happen. AN ACCIDENT! And that is how I discovered the secret. That elusive ingredient, that... spark that is the breath of life... yes I have that knowledge! I hold the key to life... ITSELF!
