Ron Hunt If I wanted to go to a rock concert I would do that rather than go to the movies. The music was not that good and even the best song was easily forgettable. Although there was some semblance of a plot it was not very interesting and hardly a revelation. In my view there is little to recommend this show to anyone. In the theater they had the speakers turned up so loud that I definitely felt that I could have been at a rock concert if I closed my eyes. Since the music was not really that good having it played very loud did not improve the experience. Perhaps I may have enjoyed this more if I was in my twenties or thirties and rock was young but it is not something that a sixty year old is likely to be interested in seeing.
AaronMendozaJr Hedwig And The Angry Inch is an amazing film. It's fun but it's not afraid to make you feel for the characters and their world. Hedwig is a great character and one of my own personal idols. The music is also very memorable and beautiful. I did "Wig In A Box" on the piano at one of my recitals and everyone loved it. I strongly recommend you watch this movie regardless if you're part of the LGBT community. The LGBT moments aren't that focused on as you would believe. It's central is how Hedwig is trying to get back at her EX and finding her other half. This movie is fun, sad, and memorable. Hedwig And The Angry Inch is an unforgettable journey of what it really means to love and be human.
Irishchatter I have to say, John Cameron Mitchell looked absolutely stunning as a drag queen and boy he really has the voice! Why hasn't the guy got a record deal? God someone should hire him on!Anyways, I found the storyline really all over the place. I didn't understand on what does happen among the characters or what they are actually saying in order for me to understand. It really was frustrating to think of how I was gonna understand this but I think the whole story was just confusing me! I mean like it would've been better if they tweaked the storyline a little bit then I would've give this entire movie 10 stars!I would suggest people to watch this film but I would say, yeah but it will be hard to understand but listen for the music just!
Julie Trotter (hedwig0109) And that is saying something, because i'm a total filmophile (yes, it's in the urban dictionary)and i used to work in the movie industry as well. i'm incredibly picky and have been called a film snob. but i LOVE and adore hedwig, the music is outstanding (one of my fav soundtracks as well), the story is great. their is humor, honesty, sadness, the reality of hardships and levity as well. it has it all. it should touch you, make you angry, make you laugh, make you cry, all the while grooving to the incredible music. john cameron mitchell is a HUGE talent (as just proved by his Oscar nomination for "rabbit hole", he was nominated for hedwig as well but due to the fact that it had been a play prior to the film, he was not qualified for certain nominations, "best original...." anything, because it had already been in the play). he plays the role amazingly well, touches you, breaks your heart and makes you REALLY feel for hedwig and his/her plight. everyone does a great job in the film. watch for stephen trask as well (as lead guitarist in hedwig's band) he is the songwriter, an amazing talent. hedwig will ALWAYS be one of my fav films ever and i HIGHLY recommend it, even to the homophobic, ESPECIALLY to the homophobic.
