this be how i felt while watch this film . i love it . it be hilarious . but i do feel a like i be get sneaky view into somebody psyche and then laugh a it get twist around to make an interesting point . a friend put it this way representi feel like we break into somebody house and be now watch their awful home video without their knowledge . another one of those fact be strange than fiction piece of film . groovin gary and the original beaver kid and be a small town guy who turn up at a nearby tv station in the hope of get on film and he certainly do and though not and perhaps and a he initially expect . with high hope of fame and significance he invite harris to come and film a truly awful talent quest that he have organise in his home town headline by his own drag act olivia newton don . director and trent harris and do a brilliant job with this slowly evolve story . some footage of an awkward kid who want to be someone morphs and over two subsequent reinterpretation and into the story of freedom from repress sexual identity in small town america . harris simultaneously critique the attitude of small town america and the cult of celebrity and and the exploitative practice of the film and television industry . both sean penn and grispin glover pull out stunner performance . a young sean penn be the most evocative so closely do he follow the actual gary footage and but with strong nuance give to push the sense of the interaction the way harris want it to go . in the end the wide eyed naivety the original gary be what move me when contrast against these possible interpretation of his situation . a film not to miss . i have not see anything else like it . jacob .
