	All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: Torch Song Trilogy
		"Torch Song Trilogy," based on a popular Broadway play by Harvey Fierstein, is an earnest, emotionally accurate, but seriously flawed drama.
		Many moments in "Torch Song Trilogy," do ring true, however, despite its faults, and I suspect it is largely due to Fierstein brilliant performance.
		"Torch Song Trilogy" is full of good intentions, and has a fair share of strong points, so it is especially disappointing that Fierstein hadn't changed some of the weaker elements in the screenplay.

		Hurting on the inside, but torch singing on the outside, the camp chanteuse is striving for social acceptance in this belted-out adaptation of Harvey Fierstein's play.
		The odd thing about "Torch Song Trilogy" is that it has such a conservative moral.

		"Torch Song Trilogy" is basically a movie about a man who slowly becomes more comfortable with himself.
		As written and performed by Harvey Fierstein as a long-running stage hit, it was seen as a sort of nostalgic visit to the problems that gays had in the years before the horror of AIDS.
		But "Torch Song Trilogy" is seen in a lot of specific scenes, in moments like the one where Arnold wakes up before Ed in the morning, dashes into the bathroom to make himself look as good as possible, and then jumps back into bed a second before the alarm goes off.

		Torch Song Trilogy (1988) is the film version of the long-running, Tony Award-winning play by Harvey Fierstein.
		The story chronicles nine years in the life of Arnold (Fierstein), a gay female impersonator who is coming to terms with being gay, aging, monogamy, the desire to have children, and the ever present need for love.
		Torch Song Trilogy is a little dated, but overall it's a rich experience — due mostly to Fierstein's clever ear for dialogue and compassionate observations.

	Torch Song Trilogy - Definition, explanation
		The dates given below are the dates from the film; the plays were set two or three years more recently, but New Line Cinema couldn't understand how a gay film in the mid-1980s could not mention AIDS, so Fierstein moved the film to before the AIDS crisis.
		Each of the three acts tells a separate part of the life story of Arnold Beckoff, a torch song-singing Jewish drag queen in New York City who starts the story with a soliloquy explaining his cynical disillusionment with love.
		At the end of the act, however, Alan is killed in a homophobic attack.

		It's "Torch Song Trilogy," the story of a man who's known he was gay since childhood and has been comfortable with that for just as long.

	Torch Song Trilogy @ Filmbug
		Interestingly enough, some of the early "gay" films were made by major Hollywood studios; some of the very same studios that forced their actors to stay in the closet and in some cases would never touch a film with a gay subplot today.
		One of these films is the heroic "Torch Song Trilogy", the film adaptation of Harvey Fierstein's award winning stage play.
		All the actors to a person are superb, and the soundtrack is worth owning--Fierstein, who sings his songs live, has a voice no lower than Marlene Dietrich's and just as good.

		A "torch song" is usually a ballad that expresses woe, joy, or some other extreme emotion.
		It often falls in the category of jazz music, and tends to contain a sentimentality that is concomitant with the styles of the "torch singers".
		For some reason or another, by some phenomena unexplained by scientists but played around with by psychologists, "torch songs" tend to strike a chord (pun intended) with homosexual audiences.

		With Torch Song the film, Fierstein has crafted his play into a fine screenplay for the most part, although there are some rough transitions in the film that perhaps worked better on the stage.
		The strength of the film lies in Fierstein's conveyance of gay humor and pathos and in his focus on issues and situations revolving around being gay (or lesbian), such as coming out, homophobia, losing a lover, and anti-gay violence.
		This, in itself, subverts the very anti-homophobic message Torch Song seems to be trying to convey.

	Matthew Broderick - Stage Credits: Torch Song Trilogy
		Torch Song Trilogy began as three separate plays performed on three separate occasions - "International Stud," "Fugue in a Nursery," and "Widows and Children First!".
		When put together, the order of the plays remained the same because each play was meant to be a sequel of the first.
		Though each play stands alone, when put together, they make up a delightful story that traces the main character, Arnold, through several years of heartache, heartbreak, and familial function and dysfunction.

		As a movie, TST is very different from most movies from that decade.
		The original stageplay was a combination of three separate plays, hence the use of trilogy in the title, in which Fierstein originated the Arnold role.
		All in all, the "Torch Song Trilogy" DVD disc is worth renting, especially presented in widescreen and including an interesting and humorous Fierstein commentary.
