"Rocky Horror Picture Show." Have you heard of it? Have you seen it? I may be 41 years late, but better late than never, am I right? This past my semester my friends changed my life by sitting me down and making me watch "Rocky Horror Picture" show, and here are seven reasons why you should, too:
1. RHPS is extremely relatable.
As I sat and experienced it for the first time in my life, I came across a deep understanding for the main character, Dr. Frank-N-Furter. He possess the pizazz and attitude I've had since I was young. It was comforting to see carried out in a different manner.
2. Sick dance moves everywhere.
"Its a jump to the left / And then a step to the right,
with your hands on your hips / Your bring your knees in tight,
but it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane / Let's do the Time Warp again"
I'm telling you, these lyrics alone just make me want to get up and dance every time I hear them, which is often because I have the soundtrack constantly on repeat. The soundtrack is highly recommended, by the way.
3. This movie calls on your inner-diva.
Tim Curry, the beauty behind Dr. Frank-N-Furter, definitely found his inner-diva while playing his character. Or maybe he had it all along, I don't know. What I do know is that my inner-diva was summoned. From the moment Curry's character first came into the picture, I was entranced. The confidence and grace found within Frank-N-Furter was enough to have me write a whole article over the movie for goodness sake!
4. Inspirational
Let me tell you, RHPS made me want to strap on some eight-inch pumps, throw on a face of makeup and prance around just like Dr. Frank. Enough said.
5. Honestly, what?!
Suspense and mystery is good for the mind. It's good to keep the people guessing, you know? Well, RHPS captures the essence of suspense and mystery down to a T. Throughout this whole movie, or maybe it was just me, you're never 100 percent sure of what's going on. Personally, I like it. I think it's good when you can't guess what is going to happen next in a movie. Predictability is overrated.
6. Oh, the dramatics.
I swear I gasped at least 83 different times while watching RHPS. If you're down for overly exaggerated drama, (in a comedic way), then this is it, look no further. This is the movie for you.
7. The ending.
I'm no movie spoiler, but I can tell you that as the movie comes to a close, you will be going mad trying to figure out what the heck is going on.
If my reasons for why you should take the time to watch "Rocky Horror Picture Show" at least once were not convincing enough, hopefully the GIFs were.
