The Desert Queens

     During class, we watched a movie called "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert,"and it was definitely an interesting one. It's about three guys who are showgirls that are traveling across Australia to perform at Tick's wife's resort. Of course it isn't as easy as it sounds as the trio get stranded in the middle of deserts, come across gangs, and tons of performances. The movie is definitely pretty strange when your first watching it, but as it goes on it had a lot of laughs and a pretty good story! I think the movie also tackles a controversial topic involving homosexuality and men cross dressing and I think the movie makes the viewers a little more aware of these situations and helps them accept it. The movie also did a great job tying into what we talk about in class involving the Baroque and Rococo era with the pizzazz and over the top costumes. Overall, the movie was definitely an enjoyable one and I definitely recommend checking it out!
