Memorable, crazy movie

Just perfect...

best movie i've ever seen.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

This film relates the efforts of "exotic dancers" at a San Francisco establishment called The Lusty Lady to organize a labor union and improve their working conditions.The narrator and central character is Julia Query, a feminist, Jewish, lesbian, stand-up comic, who turned to stripping to make ends meet. The film relates the conditions the strippers worked under, how they decided to organize the union and negotiated their first contract. The club apparently engaged in arbitrary and discriminatory practices, for example, classifying the dancers by race, hair color and other physical attributes. Negotiating the first contract took many months and the film shows the agony of making decisions on what was and was not negotiable.On the one hand the dancers do have legitimate grievances, on the other the work they do is sleazy and some would say antisocial and not to be encouraged. While their working conditions are not ideal, they are not coal miners or migrant workers. Compared to some other jobs, strippers have it pretty easy.Another plot line of the film is Julia's relationship with her mother. Her mother is a physician in New York, who as it happens, works with prostitutes. Julia has not told her mother what she does for a living. When Julia is asked to speak at a conference on the "sex industry" she discovers her mother will also be at the conference and she can no longer put off revealing her occupation to her mother. Needless to say, her mother is not at all pleased and the two become estranged for some months.The film has moments of humor and drama. The production values are amateurish, in some scenes the color is off (although that could have been due to the poor quality of the print). The film contain adult language and nudity.

I can only assume that the current low rating of this film, despite generally positive comments, is a result of a bunch of idiotic guys renting this thinking it'll be some nice T&A and then being p***ed off because not only are they being asked to THINK, but they're also being asked to show sex industry workers some RESPECT. Looking at the gender breakdown of the votes only further supports this theory. This fact only goes to show why the actions taken by the women of the Lusty Lady are SO important. My fiancee is a stripper, not because she finds it to be fun work, but because it's a decent paying job for a freelance artist between jobs. The funny thing is, people want to believe that those girls are there because they have some sexual compulsion to; hence girls are often asked, "So what do you do for a living?" Any guy reading this who has ever asked a stripper this question, please go jump off the nearest bridge. We don't need morons like you in the gene pool.Anyway, this mentality, that strippers aren't workers (and try dancing in 8 inch platform heels for 8 hours and tell me it's not hard work), but are sex crazed exhibitionists, fuels the concept that they can be mistreated in the workplace. This movie shows how these women stood up to a negative cultural perception of them to take control of their workplace and fight for the same rights afforded to other workers. It's an inspiring story, and I'd like to think that if more people saw it, and were presented with stories like this more often, maybe we could finally change the public perception of these women.

I would start off by telling you that if you read my review, it might spoil the movie but then I would have to mention that there is nothing to spoil because it's already rotten but I have to tell you that a spoiler is included or the IMDB may ban my account or something and for this movie, it's not worth the risk. I originally went to see the movie because I was thinking "Ohhh! Naked women! Cool!" even though a fellow filmmaker told me not to because it was bad. Not only was he right, I think I can honestly say that this movie has changed my perspective on nudity. Until I saw this movie, I thought that nudity could always be cool but this movie isn't interesting even though it shows naked women. How can naked women not make the movie at least partially interesting in places? See this movie and find out! I still can't understand how naked women weren't interesting in this movie and I'm an artist! Their POV was interesting enough to keep my heart rate at a steady 40 while I slowly slipped into a coma but that's about it. I still can't get over this movie, naked women - not interesting! How?! This movie is worse than Party At Kitty and Stud's, that soft core porno that Sly Stallone was in but not by much. The thing I kept saying to myself while watching this movie was "You're strippers in a cheap scummy strip parlor and you don't know why you are treated like crap? You don't understand that stripping is an industry where blonde females are in the highest demand across all markets and yet you brunettes fight for equal rights with crappy arguments in the strip club? I understand that you want to be treated well but ... could you have made a worse movie to show your point of view? I may agree with the POV of the movie but the horrible productions values, cinematography shooting into a mirror at herself, terrible audio and even worse lighting, gee whiz! This is the kind of movie that reminds people of why garbage like Star Wars: Episode 1 Phantom Menace has a following. At least Lucas knows how to make a movie unlike the filmmaker of Live Nude Girls Unite. The movie is layed out like this. Introduce the strip club and the strippers. Show the facility. Introduce what they don't like about the facility. Describe the hopeless situation. Watch as the strippers try to take a stand. Watch as the strippers win a small battle and get a little of what they have been griping about the entire movie. See how happy the strippers are now that they are the envy of strippers everywhere. This movie may have been interesting if it was only about 20 minutes long but it was about an hour longer which makes the whole thing drag out to the point that you just don't care about what is going on. Any movie that shows naked women that are not interesting for any reason should certainly not be released. It is garbage like this that makes me really worried about what could happen if the strikes go through. These kind of filmmakers would probably go on to do worse junk and this one was bad enough! If it were possible to die of boredom, this movie would have so many lawsuits on the filmmaker and everyone else that was involved that everyone would be put away for life+. Yes, people have the right to free speech in this country but to make a movie that is longer than an hour long and this terrible of expression is a horrible waste of such a great amendment. Don't see this movie! I think I would rather eat a package of cotton with no drink than see even the first 10 minutes again and that was the part with the naked women in it!

In this documentary, a group of strippers attempt to unionize against their employers at a peep-show theater in San Francisco. The friend that accompanied me to the screening disliked the fact that it was shot with a Super-8 type camera, but I didn't mind. The poor quality seemed appropriately intimate; like a home movie. This documentary displayed not only the plight of the girls to fight for basic employee benefits, but also the struggle of the narrator (Julia Query) in admitting to her mother that she delivers peep shows for money. The well-educated and extremely clever Julia is the daughter of a renowned New York doctor who has devoted a solid chunk of her life to aiding prostitutes. My major complaint with the movie was that it was very short. At 75 minutes, it was shorter than most animated features. Otherwise, it was an interesting and provocative look into the mentality of strippers and THEIR feelings about their occupation. It's something that people spend little time considering, and it was nice to see something un-cliché for once. Live Nude Girls Unite goes highly recommended.
