other title: 怪物制造
1985年,同性恋教师肯尼斯·泽勒斯在多伦多的高公园被五个男孩谋杀。在他的实验音乐剧《加拿大电影恐怖少年》中,约翰·格雷森对这个案例进行了全面的、积极的分析。格雷森运用布莱希特的诽谤策略和大量的挑衅,以一部虚构的记录片的形式重现了事件的过程和围绕事件的媒体炒作,记述了一部关于谋杀的电影的制作过程。反过来,他使用了许多不同的风格,包括新闻报道、舞台剧、档案片段和音乐视频序列的元素,颠覆了这一点。其结果是对同性恋恐惧症的一个激进的、多层次的研究,它以具有讽刺意味的尖刻风格突破了白人的非标准化。布莱希特本人以一条鱼的形象出现在导演的位置上,而那些戴着冰球棍和守门员面具的骑师们点燃了一支充满愤怒和自决魅力的奇异生命之火。
In 1985, gay teacher Kenneth Zellers was murdered by five teenage boys in High Park, Toronto. In his experimental musical, John Greyson, enfant terrible of Canadian cinema, undertakes a comprehensive, activist’s analysis of the case. Employing Brecht’s strategies of defamiliarisation and an exuberant dose of provocation, Greyson reconstructs both the course of events and the media hype surrounding them in the form of a fictitious documentary that chronicles the making of a film about the murder. This, in turn, is subverted by his use of a number of different styles – including elements of news reports, staged drama, archive footage and music video sequences. The result is a radical, multi-layered study of homophobia that cuts through the thicket of white heteronormativity with bitterly ironic flair. Bertolt Brecht himself appears as a director in the guise of a fish, while dancers in jockstraps with ice hockey sticks and goaltender masks ignite a firework of queer joie de vivre, full of anger and self-determined charisma.

In RoboCop, the year is 2028 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Overseas, their drones have been used by the military for years, but have been forbidden for law enforcement in America. Now OmniCorp wants to bring their controversial technology to the home front, and they see a golden opportunity to do it. When Alex Murphy – a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit – is critically injured, OmniCorp sees their chance to build a part-man, part-robot police officer. OmniCorp envisions a RoboCop in every city and even more billions for their shareholders, but they never counted on one thing: there is still a man inside the machine.
