I think it's by far as bizzar and risk taking as a 1970's film could possibly be, and now it is still know for its outrageous parts and pieces that just so happens to make everything "fit into place".
Although there might have been a few very minor flaws, they were unnoticeable unless one were to go on a desperate hunt for them, yet they still would never be able to catch all of them.
Now, Everyone's acting was wonderful for what used to be expected of actors in the 70's ( unlike now how everything has to be perfect and no movie has any character like old, classic, or iconic movies have). Pointing out the great actors I would have to mention(even though I know their names I will mention them as their character, also, I will tell which characters I enjoyed the most.) Brad, Janet, The Narrator, Riff Raff, Magenta, Columbia, And of course the wondrously crazed Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Brad keeps a mixture of unsureness of himself and extreme gullibility guarded by a shield of steel, leaving him over protective and quick tempered. Janet has this perfect innocence that hides ,well, her hidden power, that charm that makes her independent and naughty. Unfortunately, sometimes this innocence can comes off as annoying and the character’s personality can be a little sloppy. The Narrator has the greatest voice for his part. With etiquette and curiosity filling his character, Charles could say any sentence or phrase and it would be spine chilling. Riff Raff has that exact personality and voice that is even more of a perfect mach to the actor and character than Susan to Janet, I love this character because Richard puts a certain brilliance into Riff Raff, making him come alive with a mysterious personality. Magenta, created with unique & evil characteristics, carries the look of death deep inside her devilish eyes & strikes viewers with this hypnotizing feature, but I must add that this specific feature is the only feature she has to offer, making Patricia a one trick pony, but I love her, and her ending lines in the last scene“ Return to Transsexual“ which takes talent. Columbia is such a fun character! I love her high amounts of energy, silliness and her child like actions that spew out of her throughout the “strange journey” of Rocky Horror. I would also like to say that the way she is rammed up Franks butt adds much to Columbia’s character. Little Neil, it seems, was practically born to play Columbia, for she is Columbia & my 2nd favorite character next to my 1st. Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Where do I begin? He is AMAZING!!!! Let me just say that I have never in my life seen such talent as Tim Curry’s while playing Frank-N-Furter. It is truly astonishing. Frank is such a remarkably twisted character. He has a certain spark that makes his character irresistible and addictive leaving you hungry for more! It’s as if he is a never ending supply of mind teasing, pleasure! He is as I say extravagantly colorful and vivacious. He is The Rocky Horror Picture Show!
A brief of this sensational picture show is that he is a transvestite that is an unbelievably brilliant scientist from an distant planet named Transsexual in the galaxy of Transylvania (along with his handyman Riff Raff and maid Magenta). He ( and Magenta and Riff Raff) came to Earth and lived in a castle along with Frank’s groupie/follower Columbia who was in love with him. They came to Earth, but abandoned there original plans to have sex with humans and help Frank to create Rocky Horror, a human he created to relive him of his sexual needs. On the same day that Brad Majors and fianc�e Janet Weiss arrived on the coincidence of them “getting caught with a flat” (they were looking for a telephone, and went to the Frankenstein place that they had passed “ back down the road, a few miles.” ) Frank’s creation (Rocky) was destined to be born , a man with a dark tan, blond hair, and muscle which is his main feature, leading him to be frank’s “ obsession”. It is a film that contains many thrilling events and characteristics that involve wonderful actors/ characters such as Dr. Everett Von Scott, and Eddie, a Elvis wannabe troublemaker, former lover of Frank-N-Furter, and the love of Columbia’s life. I am a extreme fan of this film and I think that this movie is and will forever be a remarkable piece of work. Long live the spectacular The Rocky Horror Picture Show!!!!!!
