this movie be amaze for several reason . harris take an extremely awkward documentary and turn it into a relevant social commentary . groovin gary be a small town kid who be ( assume ) well like for his many impersonation . when he decide to play olivia newton john in a local talent show ( for whom he be very passionate ) and gary action show that he be at odds with the conservative social environment in which he live . this result in him make various justification for his action so that people will not think that he be in fact a transvestite or other such social outcast . in the second installment and harris exploit the struggle between gary and beaver in a novice attempt to make a narrative out of the original documentary . the third and final installment to the trilogy be truly amazing for harris extreme sensitivity with the subject . unlike the second installment and the orkly kid show gary a a truly troubled character . he struggle to gain acceptance within his own community to no avail . his secret passion for dress like olivia newton john distance him even far from the people that already consider him a social outcast . the movie be depict so realistically that and like reality and it lend itself to many reaction . surely and one can see gary a a ridiculously pathetic character and but may also identify with him a an outcast .
