Great movie, although Hedwig's actions may bother some

Rating: 8/10 (22 June 2006)

The first time I watched this movie I gave it a three out of five stars. The reason for this was because of Hedwig's actions. Hedwig openly admits to saying he did some "jobs some called blow". This, to me, indicates that he was giving guys "blowjos" and not letting them know he was really a man. That grosses me out, as I'm sure it would a lot of viewers. I have nothing against transsexuals or hermaphrodites or whatever, but to do that to someone and have them not know what you really are is deceptive and personally, makes me want to punch them in the friggin' face, if not something more violent.
The other unacceptable action of Hedwig's was "jerking off" Tommy Gnosis when he didn't know Hedwig's true nature, either. Hedwig angers me for that reason alone, that he doesn't seem to care about other people, but at the same time, you have to sympathize with him.
The only thing that prevents me from giving this movie a ten is Hedwig's unforgivable actions and unforgivable taste in music. (Velvet Underground... No. DON'T take a walk on the wild side, let the person decide for themselves instead of you're brainwashing, Lou Reed... and Heroin sucks.) Also, the Rolling Stones are horrible. They're like dinosaurs. The only good artist Hedwig listens to is David Bowie. My personal opinion here, of course.
My only point here is that Hedwig may anger some, so if you are easily angered by the selfish actions of others, so will you be at this movie at first glance. I recommend going out and watching "Rocky Horror Picture Show" first to soften the blow, so to speak.
