@ur local monkey Freddie Mercury and died of AIDS, and yeah, the cameraman has it (it might also be the reason her friend is in the wheelchair). The lyrics also reference it-"every week was a wake" (as in a "wake" not "awake", which is what I thought it was a first), and "so naive to believe that a painted face can't grieve."

I was so upset when I realized they were replacing Legend of Loco Chanelle but by the end I was in tears. The perfect replacement. I loved the fun and whimsical story of drag queen murder but this made the Warrior Queen so much more badass while tapping into a realistic backstory of the real fight. I think it also provides a great setup for Over the Top that really sets the tone for the power of drag and performance art as a revolutionary show of protest. Also, I met John McCrea after the West End show when he was still Jamie and seeing him take up the mantle of Loco Chanelle this way just made it seem so much more powerful, knowing that even within the same story we see younger generations being inspired to join the fight.

I think everyone who was a fan of the stage show balked at the idea of Loco Chanelle getting cut. I sure did. But if i had known what would replace it, i wouldn't have worried.

It's so beautifully heartbreaking and nostalgic, especially with showing the news headlines about Freddie Mercury and the documentary clips with Princess Diana. Having Hugo's character live through the AIDs epidemic while seeing his lover and his peers die from it really gives his character a more realistic and touching motivation to mentor Jamie. ❤️

the first video shown is dated exactly three days after i was born. growing up at the tail end of the AIDS epidemic, not a part of it yet very aware of it, has been very sobering. an entire generation of LGBTQIA people just GONE. At the art institute museum in chicago, the famous sculpture "untitled: portrait of Ross in LA" sits in a corner of the modern art exhibit. every time i went, that pile of candy was just a little bit smaller. It makes you painfully viscerally aware that the artist's boyfriend started at a healthy weight, until he wasn't, and it shows how he declined after contracting AIDS. he died the year it was installed, 1991. the artist, felix gonzalez-torres, would also die of AIDS five years later. just couldn't stop thinking about them during this song.

I lost several friends. And I have to say, watching this POWERFUL video, and when it came on, I was watching this movie alone at home...and burst into tears. If this had been in the stage version, I would have reacted the same way in front of all those people in the audience. This is one of the greatest ANTHEMS to that time EVER!! That a veteran drag queen helped Jamie to know the price paid so that he could freely be himself, and hopefully live to be and elder one to pass it all on to the next generation.

This made me cry. Especially when Pritti tells Jamie that they were fighting for future generations, and that is him. I'm a teacher in a state where they're introducing new anti-LGBTQ legislation. This really drove home how much harder I need to fight for my students. I've been feeling so overwhelmed this school year (first year teaching full time, new job, new state, new curriculum, crazy year to teach everywhere) and it's easy to just keep putting off getting involved in activism while I get my feet under me, but as it so perfectly shows here, many people haven't had the option to choose what their cause is or when to get involved when their lives are on the line.

I've had the pleasure of seeing ETAJ three times including the West End production and I can honestly say 'This Was Me' is a masterpiece of musical talent and the pinnacle song within the film ('originally 'He's My Boy' was pinnacle in the theatre production). The lyrics are amazing, sung with heart and meaning by the brilliant Holly Johnson. John MacRae is always amazing (see Cruella for verification) and his portrayal of a young Loco combined with the poignant lyrics hits home perfectly and highlights LGBTQ+ life in the 80s/90s along with the devastation and loss caused by the AIDs pandemic. Hopefully the original song ('The Legend of Loco Chanel (and the Blood Red Dress)' ) will be replaced with 'This Was Me' when the production returns to the West End after its World tour (fingers crossed).

He creates this big fantastical story about how John betrayed him but actually it was John's body that betrayed them both, and that's why John left Loco's life. But by telling himself this larger than life murder narrative he feels more in control and it's like none of that ever happened

The thing that hit me the hardest about this for me was that as a young queer, I know so little about the people who came before me. Our history doesn’t get taught in school, we have to discover it for ourselves, through stories and bits and pieces from media like this. The first time I ever heard about section 28 was in passing when my mum was talking to some of her gay friends from art school. I only found out a couple of weeks ago that someone who was close enough to her to help her figure out a pivotal thing about her own art died of aids in the 90s. It’s so hard to put words to how immeasurably sad it is that I will never get to meet many older queer people or drag queens because of the damage section 28 and AIDS did to our culture. I’m mourning people who died before I was even born.

John (the camera man) in the show is shown as a bit of a pimp who was shot by Loco - however you find out this isn’t true at the end of the scene. But you later find out that Hugo loved John and that he probably left in more of a heartbreaking way. So I put two and two together and assume that the new song would have been about aids and Hugo’s boyfriend dying. And is as correct - I like how in the show it is hinted but in the show it’s actually shown.
