Watching the movie as a teenager truly made a life-changing experience for me. We tend to feel very lonely, especially as a teenager. Not complete. And to be completed is to find someone that can complete us with love, or the other half.

But the truth is, we feel complete when we accept ourselves as we truly are. The thought can come to anyone, not only to teenagers. It's a universal story about love and acceptance.

After watching the movie for bazillion times, I watch the off-Broadway musical video, and the Broadway musical. It explores a deeper story about Hedwig that the movie didn't tell us. And reading the original script made me experiencing lots of realization again.

Thank you, John Cameron Mitchell for writing this musical. Maybe, it's only a story about a drag-rock-n-roll queen, but the meaning is much beyond that.… (mais)
