Synopsis

The Queen

The 1967 Miss All-America Camp Beauty Pageant, a nationwide contest for drag queens held in New York City, is presented, including the behind the scenes logistics by both the organizers, led by Jack Doroshow who performs under the drag persona "Flawless Sabrina" and who also acts as the pageant Mistress of Ceremonies, and the twenty-eight contestants.

From the organizers' perspective, the logistics chiefly surround trying to find space, not only to accommodate everyone, but one that is safe as the act of drag is still considered criminal in certain states. Their collective story does not end with the announcement of the pageant winner.

Beyond the pageant itself, the contestants speak candidly about certain issues in relation to being involved in the world of drag: what it takes to prepare oneself for show as a drag queen; their homosexual orientation, most identifying as gay; their non-drag life especially during this time of conscription; and why most would not even consider gender reassignment surgery despite their attraction to dressing up as glamorous women.

The soundtrack effectively enhances the storytelling, immersing the audience in the world of drag and providing a deeper understanding of the challenges and triumphs faced by the contestants.

I found the soundtrack of The Queen to be quite underwhelming. The music did not effectively capture the vibrant and flamboyant energy of the drag queen world portrayed in the film. It lacked the excitement and glamour that one would expect from a movie centered around a beauty pageant for drag queens.

Additionally, I felt that the soundtrack failed to enhance the emotional depth of the contestants' stories. The music did not effectively convey the struggles and triumphs of these individuals as they navigated societal prejudices and personal challenges. It felt disconnected from the narrative, failing to evoke the necessary empathy and resonance with the characters' experiences.
