Cult movies are an addictive culture that I couldn't resist revisiting recently. From the opening "Science Fiction: Double Feature" and "Damn it! Janet" to the "Time Warp" that resembled a small climax, and later "Hot Patootie"
... The form is in it, but it tells an extremely absurd vulgar story. Maybe it's a little underpowered to say that this movie integrates elements of singing and dancing, because the characters in the movie are not "dance" at all, but some rough "activities", maybe friends who love to dance will still think this. The movie may not even have a delicate choreography, let alone any difficult dance moves. As for the aesthetics...they didn't spit you out, it's already lenient.
The shooting scene is also very simple. You could say this movie is a sci-fi movie, but if you think of it in the Hollywood sci-fi mold, you'll be disappointed: what kind of sci-fi movie is this? ? ? The room where the Doctor made Rocky is like the set for shooting a sci-fi TV series for children in the last century (it's even more fake than "Teletubbies", there are wood!!), there is no scientific atmosphere, but it is completely weird and absurd. . What? Want to make a movie even with this single rough background? Can you see it? Well... that's how it was filmed. Whether it can be seen or not depends on each person. Some people are crazy about it, and some people lose interest after watching it for 3 minutes.
Even the costumes of the characters are absurd. A transvestite, dressed in black silk like a bikini that reflects the sexy curves of women, but is actually played by a male actor. If you think that he is a failure in the costume selection, you are wrong. The director did not try to hide it. Uncomfortable incongruity. On the contrary, the makeup of every transylvania planet in the castle is deliberately exaggerated: Dr. with dark eyeshadow and thick lipstick, Columbia with a line of eyebrows, Magenta with an afro... every A character is dressed extremely strangely, even ugly. In short, this movie is challenging your aesthetics from all angles. It's best not to watch the classmates who are obsessed with cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Finally, the storyline must be said. It's a simple story: The hero Brad and the heroine Janet, when their car broke down during a trip, stumbled into an ancient castle for help, and the castle was inhabited by a transvestite from an alien planet And his servants, and he was doing an experiment - making a man, on the night when the hero and heroine came to the castle, he made a muscular man named Rocky, on this night, Dr. Frank- N-Furter killed Dr. Scot's nephew Eddie, married Rocky, and went to the hero and heroine's bedrooms to separate from them... How many people can accept such a ridiculous plot? All these plots are fake like a dream with no logical connection, so if you want to say that this movie has an eye-popping good plot...the eye-popping is real, so it's not at all. A film combines transvestism, violence, murder, homosexuality, incest... I am afraid that the audience has already overwhelmed before the film itself complains...
In short, no matter what angle you want to see this film from, it will It's vulgar, every shot is pushing the limits of what you can watch, a utterly vulgar movie. At this point, you may want to say: "What's so good about this movie?". To be honest, it's hard to tell. Why do I want to rewatch this movie over and over again? Why did this movie once set off a craze for nighttime movies in the United States? It is estimated that only those who have watched it will know... I hope that those who have watched or are about to watch this film can see the unique charm of this film.
