Whenever I try to explain Repo! The Genetic Opera to someone, I’m just like “it’s a really pointed commentary on capitalism and medicine as a for-profit industry, with about 50,000 gallons of fake blood and, um, also it’s a musical? made by the producers of Saw?” like just watch this movie, I can not describe it, but it is an Experience and also Paris Hilton is in it and her face falls off, please this is one of my favorite movies.
Made by the DIRECTOR of Saw II, no less! And Paul Sorvino is in it! The lead is the girl from Spy Kids! Anthony Stewart Head, singing, constantly!
There’s a scene where one of main characters runs through his house surrounded by holographic ghosts of his dead wife singing about how he’s trying his best. There’s an entire song that seems to be dedicated to finding things to rhyme with “anatomy”. Paris Hilton is the only one who’s not always dressed in full goth get up, and most of her costumes are just clothes she already owned. The basic premise of the movie is that if you’re in debt, companies can claim repossession of your organs. I cannot describe this movie please just watch Repo Genetic Opera
I think my absolute favorite part of Repo! The Genetic Opera is how nothing has anything to do with genetics.
#…okay that last part is not entirely true #shilo has been led to believe she has an inherited disease #there’s a whole song that explicitly points this out #so there’s… that… #but it’s not so prominent a theme I would STICK IT IN THE TITLE #just… y'know if it were up to me… (via @taibhsearachd)
iirc, a lot of the ensemble cast were dressed in clothes from Hilton’s own closet and is especially apparent during ‘Zydrate Anatomy’ cause that’s how shoe string the budget on this movie was and she offered. Also the Best Character is just called the Grave Robber, which is, just, the fucking best
AND THE MUSIC FUCKS
