What is Rocky Horror Really About?
Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) is considered a cult classic by fans of the music and storytelling alike. However, I believe there’s a deeper truth to be found in the universal message the film is truly about. In this video essay, I examine aspects of the film and what makes it so important in today’s world.
