Me gusta mucho el género musical, la vi con ganas en diciembre y tengo que decir que me gustó bastante.
Hay cosas que chirrían mucho, como el acento de Selena, que es espantoso. Pero hay otras que brillan como Zoe Saldaña, que me parece que está fenomenal incluso en los números musicales, y también Karla Sofía Gascón, que me encaja en los dos papeles.
La historia es muy loca, sí. Pero está contada de una manera muy loca y no deja de ser un espectáculo muy disfrutable. Está claro que no será del gusto de todos, pero en mi caso ha conseguido que me lo pase bien un rato.
Me gustó especialmente la escena en la que Rita (Zoe Saldaña) se entrevista con el médico israelí (Mark Ivanir) que realizará la operación de cambio de sexo. Hay un número musical ahí, pero también una letra que habla de la realidad de dos formas de pensar sobre la realidad de las personas que no encajan en el cuerpo en el que les ha tocado vivir.
[Verse 1: Mark Ivanir]
Lady,
You know I only fix the body
Skin, bones, but I will never fix the soul
If he's a he, she'll be a he
If he's a she, she'll be a she
If he's a wolf, she'll be a wolf
If he's the wolf, you'll be his sheep
Lady,
I've been a doctor since I'm twenty-four
I fight and fix but never stop the war
Might not always cut through
Lady, will you please tell your Mr. Mistery
Instead of having plastic surgery
He better change ID?
[Verse 2: Zoe Saldaña]
Doctor,
I know you did a lot of studies
Doctor, but let me say I disagree
Changing the body changes society
Changing society changes the soul
Changing the soul changes society
Changing society changes it all
Doctor, you better trust my Mr. Mistery
If you had seen what he has shown to me
You'd be a better man
Doctor,
you don't know what it's like to be a queen
When you were born to strive and raised to kill
You better dance or die
Ladies and gentlemen and everyone in between
And everybody no one has ever been
I'll never let you down
[Verse 3: Zoe Saldaña & Mark Ivanir]
Doctor (Lady)
I've been a lawyer since I'm twenty-four (I've been a doctor since I'm twenty-four)
Don't want to say what I'm doing this for (I fight and fix but never stop the war)
I'll never be guilty (Might not always cut through, oh-oh)
Doctor (Lady)
I didn't come away to waste your time (Will you please tell your Mr. Mistery)
Changing gender is not an alibi (Instead of having plastic surgery)
You better change your mind (You better change his mind)
You better change your mind (His mind)
You better change your mind (Change his mind)
Your mind
Your mind
Can I meet him?
