Movie Reviews of Cruising (Deluxe Edition)
Movie Review: PUT IT OUT ON DVD !!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie when it originally came out
and I was blown away by it.I got sick of waiting
for it to come to dvd so I transferred it onto
a blank disc just so it wouldn't deteriorate any
further.
How do I begin to describe this movie.When it
first came out it shocked both the gay and
straight community.I can understand the shock
of the straight community and the anger of the
gay community.
It was the 1980's and most gays were in and
not out of the closet.They needed positive images
of themselves to be projected to the straights.
So far there had been The Boys in the Band (1970)
and Le Cage Aux Folles ( 1979).So from these two
movies,gays were either suicidally unhappy or
limp wristed fruity tuities.And then along comes
Cruising.To state at the beginning of the movie
that it is not representative of the entire gay
community was a political move engedered to make
the gays less angry about it.It failed miserably.
Here's why.A whack job is knocking off gay men
in leather bars.( straights were probably saying
so what's wrong with that and what's a leather bar).
Al Pacino a straight cop is asked to infiltrate
the gay community posing as a gay leather freak.
The longer Pacino spends time in this sub culture
the stranger he acts with his girlfriend.He also
seems to be losing touch with his own reality.
The scenes in the leather bar are as scary as hell.
Scenes with f*** F****** and every one taking poppers,
along with the coloured hankerchief signals is enough
to turn most straights into anti-gays if they weren't
already.( I must say however that Pacino trying to
dance in the leather bar scene is hysterically funny)
In the end Pacino really loses it and kills someone.
I guess that's what happens to straights when they
try to enter the gay community. ( I'm joking)
Why did I like this movie?Because it did give a
true portrayal of the leather scene sub culture.
It wasn't one of those black water melon movies
that make todays black people cringe at.
Al Pacino does give a compelling performance of
a man who is losing himself in this sub culture
life style.
Is this movie worth seeing ? DEFINATELY
BRING IT OUT ON DVD !!!
