[Covertghost]

Incredibly written song.

[captainhappyhowdy]

[TheSteve317]

The character IS a male (w/issues) played by miriam shor, a very attractive actress.

[happiesthought]

i fell so optimistic

[lvannosdall]

a perfect love song.....

[Dead4aDucat]

Love this. If you just look at his/ her face it's like he/she's sitting us all down to tell a story he/she has told 1000 times before, but his/her voice has so much passion, especially during the "fire rained down" part.

[sjclassics]

Hedwig is so beautiful!!!!!!!! I'm jelous

[sjclassics]

just wondering is the backing singer a female or male judging by the voice????? HEDWIG fuckin rocks

[eversoplucky]

@sjclassics The character is male, but the role is played by a woman.

[BejnXander]

The myth the song is base don is something I believe in; at least metaphorically.

I believe everyone is incomplete without their other half.

[VoiceNoFace]

genius.

[ice1313tz]

I'd fuck her

[VercingetorixXIII]

There are 4th children besides those mentioned here or in platos sumposium, plato didnt know it all, he forgot about us or maybe he hust didnt know, the ones that can live and not need anything or anyone else, we didnt have to be split in half... find you first then you can love someone else, thats the lesson we are to learn from this.... there is not some other part of you lost out there, you are what you are looking for, when you can find you, you deserve to be loved by another...

[davisfontanes]

I Love this movie!! and play and music

[ajdadulla]

I discovered this movie by just eating Gummi Bear one day! I love the music and the story!

[bedbusters]

Hedwig is the only note worthy original work of the early 2000's. A masterpiece power house of standout screenplay, music, lyric writing, and actor musician performance, costume, casting, choreography. Bravo John Cameron Mitchell ! You Fucking Rock!

- (review credit TruthPooper)

[plaidpirate]

rock on Plato's symposium

I love this movie. JCM's performance is unbelievable! One of the best performances I have ever seen in ANY movie EVER.

[RPGForums]

Thank you so much for hosting this. I love this song, and the entire movie.

[ZaoZara]

I Love this film! It's so fucking good!

John Cameron Mitchell is a genius!

(I hate Tommy Gnosis)

[GeorgeDRange]

John Cameron Mitchell (Hedwig) and Stephen Trask (The Emo looking guitarist) are total geniuses!

This song is among my favorite all time epic rock classics!

[nitroxidious]

I can't listen to this song enough times. It's just awesome.

[AlexusAussie]

this has been on repeat for the past week on my laptop...love it

[Glitterpuss25]

I just can't stop listening to this song! Brilliant!

[uNANOtube]

wooo

that sounds like a guy

[Glitterpuss25]

I've now listened to this 6 times and counting...

[macafeek215]

it is a guy, moron

[uNANOtube]

no

not your mom

i already no mom was a guy

jackass

[RoseQuarantequatre]

if you use the word "homo" your a fucking bigot already, hun. sorry

don't judge what you don't understand!

[Panaceamedia]

If you use the word "your" instead of "you're" then you are a fucking moron already incapabale of making psychological deductions about people, sorry babe.

Always funny when people say "don't judge" while judging themselves haha. Well, you wouldn't find it funny because your sense of humor is obviously even lower than your intelligence.

[xxdizzygoogirlxx]

TVs are not necessarily homosexual, and it's sad you couldn't enjoy such a moving song. Instead, you turned it into something ugly in your own mind. Nice job.

[Panaceamedia]

hahahahaha

1) I never claimed TVs were gay, what?

2) Huge hypocritical statement you made; you turned my humorous joke meant to adorn faces with sparkling smiles into a serious bigoted remark. But what else should I expect from an Obama supporter?

Maybe you should consider the intention of a statement before automatically assuming it is meant to smear as well as doing some actual research on candidates instead of allowing yourself to be brainwashed by groupthink and the corporate media.

[xxdizzygoogirlxx]

Why would a statement about hating an oppressed minority group "adorn faces with sparkling smiles"? It was a serious bigoted remark, and so if you were meaning to joke you should make that clear because it is obvious that everyone misunderstood you.

If I had been "brainwashed by groupthink and the corporate media" and hadn't done actual research on Obama, I would have voted for McCain.

[Panaceamedia]

I take it in High School you were more likely to be doling out handjobs than acing a test? Because logic doesn't seem to be your forte. You also have a limited, and sensitive, purview of humour.

Anyone who voted for Obama or McCain has absolutely no idea what they are talking about. I'd be happy to provide you with research material, but like I said, studying and learning seems to have abadonded your consciousness long ago.

Obama is anti gay marriage btw, at least when it suits him.

[xxdizzygoogirlxx]

Does research material include bogus 9/11 conspiracy theories ? If so, I'm not interested. I don't usually respond to personal slights, I feel it's rather childish, but just for the heck of it I will respond to yours. I was pulled out of high school at the age of 15, halfway through my sophomore year, and placed in college with a 15 unit load. Though college was nice, I chose to finish my high school education as well, so as I was doing a full college load, I was also doing a double high school

[xxdizzygoogirlxx]

load. Due to this, I finished high school a year early (Valedictorian) with a 4.0 GPA and honors. I finished a general AA degree 6 months later.

Since your "logic" and "humor" is soooooo very superior to mine, why don't you explain exactly how your comment was funny? Then, maybe later, we can talk about how a comment on a musical turned into a political discussion.

[Panaceamedia]

When did this become a political "discussion"? All I saw was someone hurling hypocritical insults while defending the programming that has been instilled in her via mental manipulation through repetition and now has a fairly sealed mind. BTW, I also received a 4.0 while taking every single AP class available but I don't hide behind society constructed approval. PROVE that you have a mind and aren't simply good at conformity and memorazation.

Unexpected constrast is the essence of humor.

[Panaceamedia]

We agree on something!! How silly it is to believe in crazy conspiracies with no factual basis in reality! Such as how a largely disorganized fractionally funded "terror" group is that efficent and have magical demolition skills and passports while MOSSAD agents were arrested on that very same day with fake documents and bomb making material only to be immediately released once their big boy pals came in from washington. While, OBiden will continue funneling our money to the true terrorists.

[xxdizzygoogirlxx]

How was my statement hypocritical?

[Panaceamedia]

Pretending to be above personal slights while sneaking some in yourself.

Anyway, we going to stop this charade and get married, inviting all the homos we know then laughing at all them who can't get hitched?

It would be my honor.

[MalenkyGoblin]

Hedwig's lips are so beautiful. Their like the ruby slippers.

[flacoblancoblue]

thanks 2 my other half with all the good parts for showing me this ;)

[edjoin24]

[oliviasaintlaurent]

HAHAHAH me too !!!!!!!!

[BlackRoseElf]

I love the contrast between Hedwig's voice and Krystal Nacht's (ironically the "woman" Hedwig is a male actor and "male" Krystal is a female actor)

[Douchealadouche]

[PIOUPITZA]

You can find another animated adaptation of the same text of Plato on youtube, it is titled "Speech of Aristophanes".
