兽设的剧情介绍,这部纪录片作为兽迷亚文化的一部社评,跟随探访了被称为兽迷的人群,记录了他们不光彩的社会身份,以及普通人群通过媒体过分夸大报道而对他们产生的认知。
Of modern fandoms around, few are newer and least understood in mainstream Western culture than furry fandom: the fandom of anthropomorphic fantasy characters aka funny animals. This film interviews various devotees to this interest, such as their personal lives and their personal opinions on their hobby, whether it be simply an appreciation of the artistic products or wearing elaborate furry costumes complete with alternate personas. Furthermore, the internal conflict of the fandom is explored between those who struggle to maintain a carefully positive public image of the community for outsiders and those esoteric souls who insist on enjoying their hobby their way, not matter how extreme. Against the looming fear of the mainstream media determined to exploit the most sensational examples they can find, this conflict is bound to make the fur fly.
纪录片本身没有多么有力的镜头语言,不像记录大规模事件的纪录片具有煽动性和情欲感染力,但是我却偏偏从这么一群亚文化小众群体自身出发联想到太多太多其他与此类似的人群的事,人们往往表面说着理解其实私心根本就不理解也不愿意去了解,比如我自己,而这种隔靴搔痒的理解显得廉价且极不尊重。
一群喜欢穿着毛绒动物套装的人的采访纪录片。他们的gay身份、对自己群体中个别名人的看法、对自己的定义、对大众刻板印象觉得他们穿着装扮做爱的反应、对于在媒体面前如何被呈现的观点。
这部纪录片跟随了一些毛茸茸的人群,例如对这一狂热,其污名以及如何通过轰动性媒体报道的方式进行的社会评论。
