Movie Reviews of Hedwig and the Angry Inch (New Line Platinum Series)
Movie Review: Origin of Love
Summary: 5 Stars
One of my favorite pictures of all time pictures. The story, though somewhat werid at first, is campy and cultish. However, it has enough "body" to make one think of how life throws events at us that seem to make no sense at first. As we progress throuh time, if we are aware, we realize the events all come together to create what we refer to as "our lives". The search for friendship, love and happiness often falls on "the rocks" no matter how hard we strive to hold onto them. Hedwig's case in point. All we can do is "keep pulling out the wig, wearing it for a while and then putting it back on the shelf".
The song, "Origin of Love" is one of the most beautiful, thought provoking songs ever written. Truly written from a perspective of love I had never considered. Probably, one of my favoritesongs ever.
If you like the off beat, silly, touching, funny, depressing and "enjoy life today" genre of flicks, this is a must see and own movie. Enjoy.
Summary of Hedwig and the Angry Inch (New Line Platinum Series)
THIS IS THE STORY OF HEDWIG, AN AMBITIOUS GLAM-ROCKER WHO COMES TO AMERICA DETERMINED TO FIND FAME, FORTUNE AND HIS OTHER HALF.Sometimes grace and hope come in surprising packages. The title character of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, a would-be glam-rock star from East Germany, undergoes a botched gender-change operation in order to escape from the Soviet bloc, only to watch the Berlin Wall come down on TV after being abandoned in a trailer park in middle America. Hedwig gets involved with Tommy, an adolescent boy who steals her songs and becomes a stadium-filling musical act. Suffering from a broken heart and a lust for revenge, Hedwig follows Tommy's tour, playing with her band (the Angry Inch) at tacky theme restaurants. Into this simple storyline, writer-director-star John Cameron Mitchell packs an astonishing mix of sadness, yearning, humor, and kick-ass songs with a little Platonic philosophy tucked inside for good measure. A visually dazzling gem of a movie. --Bret Fetzer
