Now, let me tell ya, this “Rocky Horror Picture Show” movie, it’s a funny thing. I ain’t seen nothin’ quite like it before. It’s a mix of this here horror and sci-fi stuff, all done up with music and a whole lotta camp, whatever that means. It started out as a stage show, but then they made it into a movie, back in 1975, if you can believe it. Folks went to the theaters to see it, and some of ’em went right back over and over again! But I reckon you ain’t here for all the background stuff. You wanna know about the script, right? Well, lemme tell ya what I know.
So, this movie was written by a fella named Jim Sharman and Richard O’Brien, and it’s a real wild ride, I tell ya. It’s got all the stuff that makes ya laugh, scream, and maybe even think a little bit, though I can’t say I understood everything. The main character is this fella called Dr. Frank-N-Furter, played by Tim Curry, who is, well… he’s a scientist, but not the kind you’d see workin’ in a lab with a white coat and glasses. Oh no. This fella’s got some strange ideas, and he’s workin’ on makin’ a creature, a man, a real live “Rocky.”
Now, don’t get me wrong, it’s not a regular horror movie where folks are runnin’ ’round gettin’ chased by monsters. This one’s different, all right. It’s got its share of monsters, but they’re not what you might expect. Instead of runnin’ and screamin’, folks are singin’ and dancin’—yes, that’s right, singing and dancing! It’s a whole musical, with some catchy tunes like “Time Warp” and “Sweet Transvestite.” Not your everyday songs, mind you, but they get stuck in your head after a while. You can’t help but hum ‘em when you’re walkin’ ‘round the house.
The story, well, it don’t make a whole lotta sense if you try to figure it all out. But it’s got a lot to do with love, lust, and all them strange feelings folks have when they’re exploring who they are. There’s this young couple, Brad and Janet, they’re all proper and uptight, but they end up stranded at Dr. Frank-N-Furter’s place, which is this big, spooky mansion out in the middle of nowhere. And let me tell ya, once they get inside, things get real weird, real fast.
Now, one thing you gotta know about this movie, it’s got a whole lotta what they call “camp.” I reckon that just means it’s over the top, everything’s big and dramatic. Folks wearin’ costumes that ain’t like anythin’ you’d wear on a regular day. There’s drag queens, fishnets, and some of the most outlandish getups I ever did see. It’s all part of the fun, though, and it gives you a good laugh. The characters, like Dr. Frank-N-Furter and his crew, they’re all so outrageous, you can’t help but love ‘em.
The script itself is filled with all sorts of funny lines, and you’ll catch yourself chuckling at some of the stuff they say. One of the lines that stands out is when Dr. Frank-N-Furter says, “Don’t dream it, be it.” Now, I ain’t exactly sure what that means, but it sure sounds deep, don’t it? All I know is that this movie’s about bein’ who you are, no matter how strange that might seem to others.
The movie didn’t get much love when it first came out, but over the years, folks started to catch on. It turned into what they call a “cult classic.” That means it’s the kind of movie that a certain group of people just adore, even if the rest of the world don’t quite get it. People started goin’ to theaters in costume, and sometimes they even act out the scenes as the movie plays. Ain’t that somethin’?
There’s also a little bit of a weirdness when it comes to the whole “Rocky” fella. See, he’s this creature, made by Frank-N-Furter, and he’s supposed to be the perfect man. But even though he’s strong and handsome, he don’t quite fit in with the others. And that’s another big part of the story, about bein’ different and learnin’ to accept folks for who they are, no matter how they look or what they do.
Now, if you want to read the script for yourself, I reckon you can find it online, though I’m sure it ain’t free unless you know where to look. But, if you’re like me, you just gotta see it to understand it all. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is more than just a movie. It’s an experience. If you ever get the chance to go see it in a theater with all the crazy folks, I’d say give it a try. It might just surprise you.
