Movie

Blue Streak (1971) IMDb TMDB
Blue Streak
director: Mark Rappaport
An adroit expansion on the notion of a "blue" movie, Mark Rappaport's early short BLUE STREAK contrasts the rarified realm of classical composition with an unspoken assortment of words predisposed to human sexuality, all layered over footage of a room filled with naked women and men. At the intersection of high art and low art, Rappaport skillfully dissects the absurdity of such distinctions and brings notions otherwise undiscussed in polite society to the forefront.

罗克·哈德森(1925┄1985)是好莱坞五六十年代的电影明星,以其粗犷硬朗又不失羞涩的小生形象令广大女性影迷如痴如醉,曾经连年被观众们评为“最具男子汉气概的演员”。他是英俊的代名词,拥有宽阔的肩膀、健美的身材、多情的眼睛和磁性的声音。虽然在银幕上扮演着不折不扣的异性恋男子形象,生活中的哈德森却是个地地道道的同志。1985年被确诊感染艾滋,同年10月2号在加州去世。本片算是罗克·哈德森借由自己主演的30多部影片向世人坦白自己同志身份的真情告白吧。
英文简介:
Eric Farr speaks to the camera as if speaking Rock Hudson's words from a posthumous diary. Film clips from more than 30 Hudson films illustrate ways in which his sexual orientation played out on screen. First we see tenuous and unresolved relationships with women, then clips of Rock with men, cruising and circling. Next comes pedagogical Eros: Hudson with older men. We see Rock with his sidekicks, often Tony Randall. We look in depth at comedies of sexual embarrassment and innuendo: films in which Hudson sometimes plays two characters, "macho Rock and homo Rock." He's masculine yet vulnerable, a hunk who needs taking care of. Last come cinematic reflections on death.
