Queen Love And War Tagalog Dubbed
Faustina Bartsch
It was nice to see the queen selection process in detail. Most historical dramas hardly show that, so I wonder if the process shown in this show is accurate. All the same, I like that they were very thorough. Additionally, I love the colours and the design of their hanboks. They are so vibrant and pretty. The opening song for the series is another sweet delight for me. So far, that is the only OST that caught my attention.
Now, with concerns to the King, the way he handles his emotions gives me very conflicting feelings. In cases where he opens up to Eun Bo or gives a straightforward reply, I appreciate that trait. Then when he shows his weakness through his lack of control, I get frustrated. His ministers show him no respect and use their family connections to create drama in court, but he still has not learnt how to play their game.
So far, I am not particularly invested in the romance aspect of this drama. Yes, I love them together, and their sweet moments are adorable to watch. However, there is so much evil lurking around. Hence, my attention is on how they will deal with the upcoming battles. I was so happy when Eun Bo finally opened up about her real identity and told the King about the rebel group. They will need to trust and depend on each other from now on.
interesting - its funny how your mind can blank out things - but I remember these parts of the film only vaguely. I took a young man with severe learning disabilities to see it who loves buses who all the way through the film shouted "it's a pink bus, a bus called Priscilla"
I have a thing about Thelma and Louise - a great film about feminism however it takes good looking hunk to give Louise an orgasm and then he robs her! He's not remmebered for robbing her but fucking her! What's that all about?
Anyway I don't think I will rush to watch Priscilla, Queen of the Desert anyway because drag queens really annoy me - I don't understand what is going on with them.
I, too, loved the pink bus called Priscilla, Ms Chief. And the frocks and the big musical numbers. It's everything else that sucked.
Another reason not to go is the hefty 92 ticket price for the stalls. Seats go down to 20 but take your own telescope.
Guilty for also not foregrounding in my memory the fact that the guy robs as well as makes sweet lurve to our heroine. But it was early Brad Pitt so I forgive myself.
Mm
If you go down Kings Cross in Sydney you'll spot quite a few tranvs with beards. There's safety in numbers. One-on-one I'm sure they'll hold their own in any barny (claw the eyes out of any Paul Hogan wannabe). But you've got to pick your fights .. it's no good when you're outnumbered.
Besides it's all change with the generations communications and immigration. Some guys still do the Hogan strut but there are others like me who wear pink shorts on a Sunday.
Pink shorts may not be a problem, but what about matching them with a Michael Jackson tight fitting leather glove on one hand, a orange and purple hortizontal stripped polo shirt with a large rearing horse embroidered near one's heart, an elongated green sun visor, good gripping black and white shoes, and plenty of sun cream in all exposed regions?
Beginners welcome.
Interesting, I've seen Priscilla several times and enjoyed it immensely each time. I first watched it while a huge Lord of the Rings fan because it has Hugo Weaving in it. It never dawned on me that anything particularly negative could be said about it from a political perspective, so your own interpretation is quite enlightening. Might have to watch it again sometime and have another think.
There was quite a strong anti-Asian element in Australia in the early 1990s. At this time the japanese economy was very strong and Japanese companies were buying huge wads of seaside land. There were also burning of Japanese cars in the USA. I think there was a feeling that Japan was going to buy the world.
The economic situation and people's perceptions have changed significantly since then. Most Australians see Asia as an opportunity rather than a threat. Perhaps if the film was made now an non-Asian would play the role of the villain.
I know what you mean by typecasting Asians. American films had a period of casting slightly upper class Brits in the villain roles in the mid 1990s.
Really interesting review.
In the world of identity politics, one group is played against the other.
Minneapolis has the largest nonjuried Fringe Festival in the world. One year I produced Sentir Venezolano, a Venezuelan folkloric dance troop.
Renegade Eye, I think you are right if you are pointing out the dangers of making everything purely an issue of identity politics. In Priscilla we see that underneath the lip-service to class and colour how it's really bourgeois values that prevail.
Infantile, I'd completely forgotten Hugo Weaving until I was looking up movie pix for the blog. I was amazed to see Agent Smith staring back at me.
Mr Divine, that's some interesting extra light shed on how being made in Australia might have skewed race attitudes even further. Weren't there some beach tussles with Lebanese a year of two ago?
I've been reading a bit about the Cronulla riots in Sydney. One report suggests that the initial spark was that three lifeguards were assaulted by by muslims annoyed at the attire of females on the beach. Other say tha gangs of white started targetting arabic looking people in the area to 'claim the beach back.'! I wouldn't know who to believe.
There is racism here and cultural intolerance, but there is also a great deal of mutual respect regardless of race, income or age. Society feels very open minded and good humoured.
just like Ms Chief it has been so long since i've seen the film that my memories about it are sort of sketchy. basically the only thing I really recall is how magnetic John Leguizamo was. Then again, that man is always amazing. Really an underated actor that doesn't get the credit he deserves.
that's disappointing though to hear about the live production. that's why im usually a firm believer in not messing with an original. very rarely does it get executed in near the same fashion and almost always winds up being a disaster for one reason or another.
Hi Mrs M,
The review is of the original film. All those elements were in the movie and I was hoping that, 15 years later, the producers of the stage version haven't incorporated all the woman-hating aspects.
I haven't seen the stage musical so I'll have to wait for someone to let me know if it's just as bad.
You are incorrect about claiming that Bernadette (who you insensitively refer to as Ralph) savagely beat up a woman in a bar. She uses her words to embarass the woman which ultimately creates a bond between the two. This leads to the two women engaging in a drinking contest in which Bernadette bests Shirley. Though your identity-politics analysis makes some strong point about the film's use of racialized imagery of Asian women, ultimately this glaring error makes your argument significantly weaker.
In your review, while making important claims about the racialized imagery used in the portrayal of Cynthia you make one glaring error and an equally offensive remark. You have claimed that at the pub in Broken Hill Ralph brutally beats a woman. This is entirely incorrect. Bernadette (one should not refer to a transsexual woman by her previous name; this is considered very derogatory and rude) uses her words to embarrass the excessively rude Shirley. In doing so she actually bonds with Shirley and they eventually engage in a friendly drinking contest in which Bernadette bests Shirley. In your statement about you argue that you will not post "transphobic" comments, when in fact you use transphobic language in referring to "Ralph." The film's reliance on the yellow peril myth and racial stereotyping of Filipina women is one problematic element in an otherwise very important and critically acclaimed film. Which film that portrays drag queens is better?
Tim, re the protocol and sensitivity of names, if Bernadette is at the point of the assault a pre-op or post-op transexual, then I am happy to refer to the character by her female name. In the passage of time I've forgotten the chronology of the film.
The assault is still of a male musculature on a woman.
I will always have a soft spot for O Bar since it was the first venue ever to book me for a gig in the Philippines. Located in Pasig City, it is one of the top drag venues in Manila, packed with hot go-go boys and a fierce cast of queens who go all out, serving fully choreographed drag shows and hair-raising stunts complete with fire and trapezes that most US queens could only dream of.
It's no secret that Filipinos love to pamper themselves at the best beauty salons and spas. Nowhere in Manila does state-of-the-art beauty treatments like Botox, and facials, better than this upscale LGBTQ+-owned esthetic clinic with locations in BGC and Quezon City. The vibe here is like an exclusive five-star hotel; the expertly trained doctors and staff go out of their way to make you feel like a star! No wonder all the top Filipino celebrities come here.
Momoi Supe is an LGBTQ+ Filipino who started with microblading brows and expanded into cosmetics. He launched his first beauty lab during the pandemic. I was introduced to his eyeliners and the Microblade Pen Perfector that saved my boy brows after I shaved them off to film season two of Drag Den. Strokes has beauty labs in the bougie Greenbelt shopping center and other locations around Manila.
