土曜日の夜に、このDVDをたてつづけに3回も繰り返してみてしまいました。
これだけ何度も見たくなる映画はそんなにあるものではありません。
Punk-rock musical ですが、どうぞ、どうか、お願い!
先入観なしで見てください。

There were three sexes then,
One that looked like two men glued up back to back, called the children of the sun.
And similar in shape and girth were the children of the earth.
They looked like two girls rolled up in one.
And the children of the moon were like a fork shoved on a spoon.
They were part sun, part earth, part daughter, part son.
It's the story of the origin of love

愛が生まれる前の事、人には3つの性がありました。 男と男が背中あわせの太陽の子
女と女は地球の子 そして月の子はフォーク・スプーン 太陽と地球、娘と息子の中間
神様は月の子を2つに切り裂きました。
これが愛の起源の物語 
だから、人間は引き裂かれた片割 the other half (missing half)を探し求めるのです。

Angry inch の意味は英語日記の最後に記しました。


HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH by John Cameron Michell

I have watched this DVD three times in succession.

I love this film and recommend it to you.

This is a punk-rock musical and the storyline is simple but the film is

full of sadness, yearning and humor.

Also it has a little Platonic philosophy.

Why a person loves a person? Why there are pains in love??

The pain which carries through to the bottom of a heart is love・・・

I also love the cartoon in the movie which is mysterious with simplicity.

Please watch this film without any preconceptions.
My favorite song is
“WICKED LITTLE TOWN” (Tommy Gnosis version)
   This is the answer to Hedwig version which tells us that
 fate is vicious and cruel.

♪Maybe there’s nothing up in the sky but air
If you’ve got no other choice  You know you can follow my voice♪

I cannot hear it without tears・・・
*The angry inch means;
Hedwig wanted to change his sex and took a sex change operation
but it got botched, he got an angry inch – Six inches forwards, five inches back
(It was 6 inches, but the doctor only cut off 5 inches)
