On 31 August 1975 Jim Sharman's film The Rocky Horror Picture Show, a film adaptation of the 1973 theatrical show, was released for the first time. But defining it as a film is really an understatement. In fact, when you expertly mix beautiful music, horror, comedy, talented actors and avant-garde topics about the era, a masterpiece can only come out. The Rocky Horror Picture Show is an ageless cult that has bewitched millions of viewers around the world and is still more than relevant after all these years. With a limited budget and an old soundstage that served as a backdrop for the shooting, The Rocky Horror Picture Show shocked public opinion by upsetting the respectability of bigoted America of the 70s. There are many citations, cinematographic and artistic, present in the film. The most cheeky one is undoubtedly Mary Shelley's masterpiece. But here the "monster" is anything but such. Beautiful, blond and fit, he is destined to become the sex toy of his creator. The Rocky Horror Picture Show, however, behind all the irony and its whimsy, wants to be a denunciation of freedom from prejudices and preconceptions well embodied by the couple knocking on the door of the Transylvanians. It is a reflection on sexual ambiguity, a journey to discover what we are and what we like, beyond what society imposes as right or wrong. While apparently the two good guys are taken to the path of perdition, in reality they are made free to live the pleasures that life gives them, if they want. Free to choose what to be and how. And the advice, pearls of wisdom, is brought to our ears by the songs that accompany the whole film and whose messages are invites to reflect. Like "Don't judge a book by its cover", don't judge a book by its cover. Or for example, the phrase "don't dream it, do it." Don't dream it. Just do it.
