But you are black andd you're a male and you're gay . You're gonna have a hard fucking time. If you're gonna do this, you're gonna have to be strong than...

    Paris is Burning: Conquering the Land of Beauty

    When the luxury shopping platform Farfetch exclusively introduced the fashion brand Faith Connexion this spring, it quoted the title of the documentary Paris Is Burning to describe the grand occasion of the Paris International Garment Fair.

    Femininity under masculine characteristics

    "Paris is Burning": This is (not) a film for everyone.

    In this documentary focusing on sexual minorities, these so-called "marginal groups" show repeated inversions of mainstream vision. In class, I talked about documentary and real issues. The main theme of the documentary is to show reality, but reality is presented here as a kind of "performance"....

    A little thought

    I was very impressed when I saw it in the hiphop culture class last semester. I listened to the podcast during dinner yesterday and talked about the most popular hip-hop shows, including the new lengendary in this street and the United States.

    Edge and imitation

    Saw the best documentary of the year at the end of 2020. There are some very interesting clips, such as the house mother clearly stated that what everyone came to him for was the love that he could not get in his broken family, and he played the role of the parents of young people to a certain...
