be a gay man who live through the time period examine in this tedious documentary and i be eager to see how the subject matter be handle . unfortunately and the film maker waste what could have be an energetic and insightful opportunity to shed some light on our collective gay history . this film only concern itself with the period within new york city and ignore the rest of the country . while i spend a fair amount of time in nyc at that time and i can assure you that there be a gay life outside manhattan . the men interview here be the same a list queen who think they be good than anyone else during the 70 and and here they be again and wax nostalgic and still throw attitude . the film should have at least tried to cover large topic and such a race and ageism and the burgeon gay caste system base on wealth and body image and and the rise of the clone and discrimination of sub group within the community and and the ability to grow a decent mustache ( which be very important in the 70 . ) . ala and we have none of this present and and the recollection of those interview be no different than my own memory . if you be there in that decade and you will enjoy the archival photo and grainy home movie of the bar and disco we haunt . if you weren not there and this film will undoubtedly seem dull . it should have be so much more and but sadly and it not . two star for jog my memory . i still miss go to the anvil .
