When my friend introduced it to us, I didn't realize how sensational and trans-era this landmark film of the 1970s, which was about cross-dressing, transgender and other minorities, as well as science fiction, horror, rock music, and stage plays, was at that time. I don't understand why 14 people are watching in a hut rented by Dongshankou with the right to use, and they have to put down the curtains and lock the door. Today, 45 years later, among the top three cities in China's openness, we are still unable to openly and boldly appreciate and discuss our preferred films and art culture, or, in other words, dare not take this risk.
After I went home and watched the second half, I revisited the whole film the next day. I swayed to the music while watching, and I was even more amazed at the demands of the avant-garde at that time and the excavation of self-awareness. The costumes, props, pictures and other elements in classic movies are not inferior today, and the theme concept is still far-reaching.
If Dr. Ford is my ideal high-weight, maverick, and a few prominent few with obvious character weaknesses, then Janet and Brad are the common majority in secular life, with a well-behaved life and values, and act cautiously. . In a way, we are all (at least I am) this newly engaged couple who stumbled into an old castle in the wilderness, an unexpected "wah-hah" moment in ordinary life, a fresh adventure in the middle, It's a scene that I couldn't even imagine in the past. Just like the encounter with Creative Commune, it is a movie-like psychedelic encounter, and at the same time gives a real sense of participation.
The astonishingly consistent dialogue between the two before they had sex with the doctor is true and ironic (are they too conservative, or is the acceptance of sex in American society not as open as it is today?). When Janet sang "I love muscular guys", I immediately grinned, what a lovely expression of desire and talk. He just turned his head and glanced at his fiancé's doubtful face, and he had to restrain himself immediately, so he couldn't help sighing. The professor said that he couldn't "xxx", and in a blink of an eye, he raised his legs and found that his thighs were wrapped in black stockings. He was very happy to cooperate with the performance on the floorshow.
I didn't quite understand the plot of the ending against the slave master, but the reversal that followed left a deep impression on me. "'We' do not include you"! In the end, the Doctor is like a clown, destroying the iconic thick eyebrows and big eyes with his own hands, tearing goodbye to his once glamorous life (sequence?). With the help of Rocky, the two fell into the pool that once represented desire, indulgence and decadence, but this time it means "gone".
When I watched it, I was paying attention to which role I would choose to play, and the appearance of Columbia was finalized, and as the plot progressed, the maid became more locked. She is quirky and has a distinct personality. She never hides her likes and dislikes. She is also sexy and hot, and her voice is beautiful, which makes me question whether I can handle it.
Close the computer and look forward to the future stories with Creative Commune!
