VHS Movie Reviews of Paris Is Burning
Movie Review: Compelling, Unpretentious, Positive
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this film in '90, a year after I had talked to Malcom McLaren who was trying to explain the whole ball scene to me. From his description of people who are trying to get a piece of the good life by literally emulating it, I thought it was a sad way to live. After I saw the film, I knew I was wrong. It was the BEST way to live. I saw it again recently, and after nine years I have to say that it is still one of the most powerfull, life affirming documentaries of all time. It is sad that this scene doesn't really exist anymore, after having been co-opted by the mainstream (and fodder for a Madonna album.) I recommend it to anyone who doesn't have a bug up their *** about sexual orientation. If you can't get past that, well then, you'll never learn.Movie Review: A wonderfully powerful documentary
Summary: 5 Stars
This documentary insightfully shows the audience a segment of the population which is either ignored or persecuted for just being themselves. It is a funny, endearing, interesting and powerful film.Movie Review: One quick step to end insomnia.
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie was assigned for a class of mine and though it was only 90 minutes long I feel as though it lasted an eternity. Though I would call it boring, that would not begin to describe the malaize I felt while watching it. If you value your time and your mind, give this film a pass.Movie Review: THE GAY HOUSE BALLS AT THEIR FINEST! VOGUE-BATTLES!
Summary: 5 Stars
I THOUGHT THIS FILM SHOWED THE BALLROOM SCENE WONDERFULLY. IT WAS GREAT SEEING ALL THE LEGENDARY CHILDREN ON FILM. I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANY YOUNG BLACK GAY MALE AS A START OF PERSONAL GAY BLACK PRIDE. THIS IS WHERE VOGUEING ORIGINATED.THEY BETTER WORK.
