"Have you taken Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?"

"No. But I love his work."

From Hedwig and the Angry Inch which I watched for the first time ever tonight. I must say, it's one of the best movies I've ever seen.

I love the music. I love the acting. I love the lead actor. I love the story.

The story is much more than just an angry drag queen who has an awesome voice. It's the story about finding oneself--of figuring out who we are. We are more than just the labels society puts on us or we put on ourselves. We are unique, wonderful human beings.

Through the whole movie, we find Hedwig struggling to find her other half because she believes that will make her whole. This movie shows us that we are perfect and beautiful and wonderful by ourselves. We don't need someone else to make us whole. It's a very touching self-examination for all of us, I think.

"I put on some makeup. Turn on the 8-track. I'm pulling a wig down from the shelf."
