It's all New to Me!

*Looks around* This be some crazy stuff right here, first blog here. Yup.

Wanna know some stuff about me? Just some basics k?

Goes by the name of Lee. Lives near London, UK (proper London). Is going to university. Loves films waaaaaaay too much :D Oh and Harry Potter as well >.<

If you do wanna know more about me, just ask xD Actually I shall make this an ask a question post. Ask anything you want, not like major personal, I will ignore them, and I shall answer as much as I can :D

Basically what I wanna do in this blog is like try not to whine too much about angsty teen stuff, cause thats not so cool. What I will try and do however is update whenever I can about a different film. Old, new, world cinema, Hollywood, everything really, basically because I like movies, makes sense to me. Plus films always cause debate I find. I may mention other things from time to time, personal life here and there, music and stuff basically because I can :D

And I shall start like right now!

Transvestites. Singing. Dancing. Sexuality. Shoemaking. Northampton?

An unlikely tale of a man who inherits a shoe factory and brings it back from the dumps by making his workers create ‘kinky boots’ for transvestites.

Realising that old style men’s shoes are just not the right fashion accessory anymore, added with unenthused workers and his lack of desire to resurrect the company Charles Price feels as though he must shut the factory down. Then a jolt of inspiration comes from nowhere during a business trip to London.

Lola, a colourful character, with a brighter costume designs, finds it rather awkward walking in women’s boots, after all not designed to hold a man’s foot and weight they break easily and just don’t fit. With encouragement from his employee, Lauren, he quickly decides to change production from old men’s shoes to ‘kinky boots’ and display them in Milan on the catwalk.

Now here be spoilers!

Making it to Milan with a great welcome and reception the company boomed with sales, and is still in production today (check it out! Divine)

Kinky Boots is another in a string of brilliant British films, especially comedies, which are appearing at the moment. Simple, funny and even thought provoking at times it is pure entertainment that will leave you with a giant grin on your face. Eccentric characters, gritty settings and a touch on discrimination present, but not in your face, throughout the film make it a fabulous watch for all!

Not only that the camerawork is just as entertaining, close ups of shoes being made and sheets of fabric whizzing along in time with the music make the film stand out. Yet not as much as the musical style scenes of Lola and her fellow transvestites singing, better than anyone on X-Factor or the likes these days, and adding a flair to the film’s overall quirky outlook on life.
