ROCKY meets ROCKY HORROR
| It¡¦s difficult to find a positive film about homosexuals in the Western media but it¡¦s nearly impossible to find one in the Asian world! If gays are portrayed at all, they are over exaggerated stereotypes meant to be laughed at or to evoke feelings of disgust. Iron Ladies is a well-meaning film but quite often falls prey to the conventional. The story is based on a real life men¡¦s volleyball team comprised mainly of gays, transsexuals and transvestites. This was a hugely successful film in Thailand; in fact their most successful film to date both in Thailand and International as well. So popular, a sequel is now production. Mon is an amateur volleyball player who is constantly rejected from teams because of his homosexuality. His luck changes when the Lampang Volleyball Team gets a new coach. Much to the disappointment of the guys on the team, the new coach is not only a woman she¡¦s a lesbian. Mon convinces his best friend Jung, a flamboyant transvestite to tryout for the team. Much to their surprise they get selected only to have the rest of the team (save one) quit in protest. Mon and Jung enlists help of their fellow ¡§sisters¡¨ fill the vacancies. The rest of the movie is of course predictable but nevertheless wacky and wildly entertaining. Iron Ladies gets an A for effort, but only a C+ for execution. |
