Yeah. It was like this.
Candy was ahead of her time, and timeless. Living her dreams in a fast changing, and often hostile, world that never fully accepted or appreciated her. This film depicts the beauty and the squalor of the early 70’s in NYC, the stark pain of a rebel and a pioneer, and ultimately the love required to tell her story.Thank you, Jeremiah.
No sympathy
Candy was an intelligent, but super vapid person, whose main dream in life was not so much to become an actual woman, but to be desired and admired – just like a female movie star.Oh, I’m sure the pain of not “living the dream” was intensified by her being born a man – but down to it’s very essence, this story is not about transsexual rights, or their all too real struggles; it’s just a story about wanting to be famous.
I admire the passion of people like this, but it’s usually all they have. The only thing special about Candy from every other hopeful woman who moves to Hollywood, is that she was born a man. I get that any person who devotes their life to getting this kind of attention, is a hurt person indeed; but the additional hindrances doesn’t make this kind of struggle anymore beautiful, or any less narcissistic.
It annoys me to hear those diary entries read out loud as words of insight, when clearly, they were only meant to dazzle an audience. It’s the opposite of an actual diary, more a product to be sold later on when she got “famous”, than an inner expression of self.
There’s no real Candy, because the desire to be someone else(not of gender, but of status and superficial “image”) consumed what was left of her her long before she even met Andy Warhol. So she never achieved her dream! Boo hoo. Her happy way of dying young and “glamorous” sent shivers down my spine.
I feel sorry for this man who always took care of her, who loved her so deeply. Was he in love with the image as well? It seems to be, as we never get any other insight from him than what was shown on screen. I wonder what drove him towards her, given how unable she must have been at telling a warm hug from the blitz of a camera.
Candy, the beautiful thing about your story, is that you never amounted to anything more than a Warhol art prop. I hope most of the people who surrounded you, were people exactly like yourself.
