Hed Head for life!

Rating: 10/10 (16 February 2002)

I LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!!! I rented the DVD and not only did I watch it 3 times but I watched every bit of bonus material on the disc,(highly recommended) including the entire movie over again with the director's commentary. I am still singing the songs and I can't wait to get my own copy of both the DVD and the CD. I can't explain it, this movie has the ability to have a profound effect on one's life. I find it very inspiring for some reason. I know this sounds ridiculous. On some level, I found myself identifing with Hedwig and even loved her/him. By the time you get to the end of the film, you've gone along this incredible journey with Hedwig and somehow grown along with her/him. The last song, Midnight Radio, is fabulous! I would put it up there with The Who's See Me Feel Me/ Listening to You at the end of Tommy, in terms of inspiration. All of the songs are extremely memorable. The Origin of Love, is a great song and the animation that goes along with it really enhances it. I loved everything about this movie, especially JCM! His Hedwig was positively HOT! Dare I say as hot as Tim Curry's Frank? The story is deeply moving and leaves you thinking on many different levels. I only wish I had seen the play. I give this movie 10/10. I loved it for so many reasons. I can't wait to see it again.
