The Birdcage |
Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: Under any title -- these films are winners
Comments: I loved the French film La Cage Aux Folles when it was made and The Birdcage is a wonderful remake. Both films are worth owning.
Whenever I need a laugh, I watch The Birdcage because e performance is spot on. It makes you laugh until you cry and it makes you cry because the love of the2men for their "son" is so poignant. Both versions of the story are highly entertaining. |

Summary: The Birdcage: A Humorous Spin on a Serious Topic
Comments: The Birdcage is a hilarious look at the life of a homosexual couple living above their club in Miami Beach. When their son comes to visit, he shares that he is engaged to be married and that his fiance's family is coming to meet them. The movie then centers around the hilarious transformation that the Goldman family goes through to "de-homosexualize" their home and appearances.
The almost all admirable character in this movie is Albert, the overly dramatic and effeminate drag queen. He is beloved by eone in the community, as demonstrated by his visit to the market, and doesn't abandon who he is even when the conservative Republican family comes to their home. Albert is not ashamed of who he is and doesn't change himself to please anyone else.
The Birdcage addresses and pokes fun at the issue of homosexuality, however the underlying message is more profound than noticed at 1st glance. |

Summary: Gets More Annoying With Time
Comments: The more I watch "Birdcage" the more it annoys me. The REALLY slow pacing of the story, not to mention the absolutely obnoxious son of2gay men who seem so I'll suited to1another, and Nathan Lane's over-the-top, whinning queen act get tired quick. What exactly is so funny about2gay men having to hide ething about themselves to please a hateful, right-wing Republican? So if you are a straight, WASP-ish Republican bigot, then all is great? Why do gay men always have to be the brunt of the joke? Maybe straight audiences in 1996 thought this was hysterical, however in 2008 it's just plain old. |
