I just watched it for the first time, and I think I'm more transgendered as a result. I thought it was brilliant. It pressed all of my buttons. Really good film.

Really didn't like that film at all to be honest.
Best TS/TG film I've seen is Wild Side that actually has a real TS in the lead role: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stephanie-Michelini-Yasmine-Belmadi-Nikitine/dp/B000ANVNIU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1240565465&sr=8-3 (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stephanie-Michelini-Yasmine-Belmadi-Nikitine/dp/B000ANVNIU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1240565465&sr=8-3)

I'll check out that Wild Side movie. But, the guy who played Hedwig and directed the movie also directed Shortbus, so I'm sure that he's at least a gay drag queen from the films he's made and been in. Plus, the fact that the person playing Hedwig is a straight up male is part of what made me more transgendered as a result. It's the first time I've ever seen a man and thought "Man, she's attractive."
Also, I sorta..... deep down... wanna be a transsexual metal star. Seeing a rock opera about a transsexual punk rock star. It's my type of thing.

I love the ending of Hedwig..
I do love the story too..
There's so much irony and so many layers...

I found the ending depressing as crap, even though I think it was supposed to be a mixed ending.
2-3 hours? The movie's like an hour and a half long. I think that if you're not into punk or 80s rock then the movie's gonna seem like it sucks. Fortunately for me, I love both those things.

I watched the first hour of it, I wasn't really a fan. I guess the circumstances surrounding how Hedwig came to live as a female really turned me off to the film.
