"Airplanes...ha! Why it's against the Creator's will. If the Creator wanted us to fly, he'd have given us wings."

But we fly. Maybe some of you remember an even sillier remark:

"Automobiles? Ah...they scare the horses. If'n the Creator had meant for us to roll around the countryside, we'd have been born with wheels."

Silly? Certainly. We were not born with wings, we were not born with wheels. But in the modern world of today it's an accepted fact that we must have them. So we have corrected that which nature has not given us. Strangely enough, nature has given us all these things, we just had to learn how to put nature's elements together for our use, that's all. Yet the world is shocked by a sex change.

"If the Creator had wanted us to fly, he'd have given us wings."

"If the Creator had meant us to roll around the countryside, we'd have been born with wheels."

"If the Creator had meant us to be boys, we certainly would have been born boys."

Notice how they repeat themselves?



Hahaha. This is one bullshit movie. I actually kind of love it. It's my favorite Ed Wood movie, which probably doesn't say anything at all, because the dude sucked, but I love him. He was so passionate about this movie, even though this one was pretty biased towards his love of angora sweaters.

If you've ever watched the movie "Ed Wood", you'll know how the story goes. Somehow, he conned Bela Lugosi into being in this movie, because his fading star status meant enough... to Ed Wood, but not anyone else. But hell, it meant something to me, because I think Lugosi was the man.

It must have been controversy to have a movie like this come out back in the 50s, but this stuff is more controversy today if you don't accept it. I will admit, I have a strange fascination with transvestites. This movie has a lot of dumb information about them, trying to sway you into believing that their antics are justified. You can tell that Ed Wood feels that he's being wrongfully persecuted in making this movie, because he probably got a lot of shit for it when he was making it, but hey... I guess it had to be said, right? It probably paved the way for our current transgender rights stigma, but at least that shit hasn't been too overblown these days.

Honestly, I don't think transgenders should get special treatment. Sure, they ought to be accepted if they want to dress as they do, but I'm not going to go out of my way to make them feel "secure" in their provocative efforts, nor do I think they should be given special treatment because they say so. But this movie thinks so, and that's what makes it great. It's a documentary-style justification that turns into mindless drivel about satan and madness. They try to present their case so scientifically, but it's all biased. Oh my... what a movie.
