Hedwig and the Angry

I found a clip of the ending of the film on Youtube, for those of you who didn't get to see it.



The last few seconds or so of the film are missing, so what happens is: Hedwig walks down the street, stops at the mouth of the alley, looks both ways, and continues moving forwards.

Also, here's the link to the Popmatters'>http://www.popmatters.com/film/interviews/mitchell-john-cameron.shtml">Popmatters interview with John Cameron Mitchell. Mitchell discusses his views on Yitzhak and Hedwig's gender identity journeys, as well as the Origin of Love myth. One of the things that I really liked is that Mitchell and Stephen Trask (who wrote the music and lyrics) took the idea of man and woman being as "one flesh" (the Adam and Eve myth) and went back further in our cultural myths to find a more inclusive origin of love.
