Under the flirtatious beauty is a small freshness and a girl's heart

Gorgeous makeup, coquettish costumes, sweet singing in the 1970s and 1980s, and all kinds of blatant and vulgar words, acerbic running, all of which is a warm and fresh story. There is helplessness, pain, cowardice, but also strength, understanding, hope, and love.
In addition, with an open heart, we can learn to appreciate many things, such as the performance of drag queens. From the film, we can feel that, just like the national quintessence of Peking Opera, drag performances have their own particularities. To put it simply, it is the use of clothing and body to express the song, pay attention to gorgeous and dazzling costumes, exaggerated makeup, so that the drag queen blinks the whole, shiny lipstick is one of the signs, such as the first performance of the title, Hugo Wei Wen was wearing a sequined long dress, and her lips shone under the light, like stars shining, creating an atmosphere of debuting under the spotlight and a good show. Just by turning the camera, we found that many audience members were not watching the performance and were all playing pool, which seemed to imply the end of the drag show? In addition, the mouth movements should be large and obvious, showing the correspondence with the lyrics, and the facial expressions will become hideous at certain moments. The action is used to express the plot, which is semi-plot, so there will be wavy hands, open hands to embrace the sky, etc. The classic action, if you think about it, this action is actually quite girly. These small details tore a small gap on the outer packaging marked with aliens, pornography, adults, etc. Dreamy girl heart.
I don’t know if the director meant to express the current status of drag performances (at that time), and I don’t know whether the current drag performances are prosperous or gradually dying. The audience did not expect the enthusiastic response after the performance of the fifty-odd old queens. Perhaps this surprise came from their brilliance when they were in their twenties? I think of the old drag queen in QAF again. Many young people don't know him anymore, and probably don't know this kind of performance. I can't help but contact the old actors, both of them are embarrassing, respectful and envious of their incomparable enthusiasm for performance and the joy of being in them. If you were to ask what the meaning and productivity of drag shows were, you might not be able to tell, but seeing them, you would think it was a magical thing, and the emotions they put into it were real.
So I thought about the same humanities again. In fact, people who write, translate, and read texts do not have such enthusiasm.

The eldest Bonnadite, although she has the rough skin of a transgender person, has a circle of blue beard marks on her lips that cannot be completely removed, and has loose skin on her face, which can only make people associate with "aging and aging". ”, but it makes people feel that it is the most elegant and charming one, the calm endowed by the years and the strength forged by hardships. The actor acted very well, his gestures and his eyes were so penetrating, he couldn't help but wonder if he was invited by a real transgender or a transvestite? The only shortcoming is that I think the actor is not involved enough when they are performing, and his expression is not enough. Maybe he can't let go when he is old?
The song is very interesting, the title is very moving, and when the credits are scrolled at the end, there is the last performance of the whole film. It's a single person, quiet, but it managed to make me sit until the subtitles are finished. I want to know if it's a male. The Lord is still a real drag queen show.
Hugo Weaving looked like Emmett in QAF when he was young! ! !
