More importantly, this seemingly lighthearted film is actually rich in content. What it interprets is not just the transvestites, but directly to the heart, so that everyone who reads it can feel and resonate with it. Many of the lines in it are intriguing and thought provoking.
Or when we replace the characters in it with other people, various marginalized groups, or aspects that ordinary people can't be honest about and don't understand, we'll find similarities. And this kind of similarity is precisely what the viewer can feel and what everyone needs to face.
Its style is unique and sets this quasi-musical apart from other musicals, or a lot of serious, fringe movies. In a more acceptable warm way and comedy ending gradually penetrated into the hearts of the audience, and the aftertaste is long.
Maybe some great gods think it's not profound, or pick up some idealistic and contrived details. But I personally feel that life is hard enough and numb enough. There is no difference between a light-hearted and connotative sketch, and an obscure and profound film, or a film that is as painful as bone marrow, but only in different forms.
I just don’t know if the subject matter is relatively unpopular, or the social acceptance is really low, or its style is not high enough. Not many people watch this film, and there are few comments. It's a pity, if you have a certain degree of tolerance, it is really worth a look.
Recorded a few shots that impressed me: the
pink kite flying in the blue sky in the desert, Bernadette's expression, and the kite rope that was later thrown away.
Two verses by Felicia standing on the roof of a moving bus.
Mitzi rehearsed alone at the top of the mountain after the car broke down.
ps: In addition to the familiar Hugo Weaving, Guy Pierce has also acted in "The Time Machine". You can also watch this movie. Although it is different from the original, it is not a classic in the sci-fi film, but the music in which humans return to the primitive society is very amazing, and it matches the picture very well, and the transition of the years is also fascinating. I don't know much about Terrence Stamp, but her performance in The Desert Monster is quite good, maybe one of the best.
PS of PS: There are Easter eggs at the end of the subtitles.
