if you do not like self absorb crazy people and this film isn not for you . you should probably also avoid move to san francisco and because he not really that unusual by sf standard . i remember see him stand around in the castro ( at hibernia beach . ) in the seventy . even though it be an era of sexual freedom that we can barely conceive now and see him be shock . the film doesn not really convey what it be like to see this caricature of male sex in his see through pant with enormous basket on display . the first time that i saw him and i just keep thinking and isn not he go to be arrest . later that even and i have other thought . i have no idea who he be until this movie come out and but that image be still burn into my brain . it be transfix and and this film be a nostalgic look at the era that make him an icon .
