THE ICE KING is the searing documentary of a lost cultural icon, a story of art, sport, sexuality, and rebellion. Including incredible unseen footage of some of his mort remarkable performances and with access to Curry's letters, archive interviews, and interviews with his family, friends and collaborators, this is a portrait of the man who turned ice-skating from a dated sport into an exalted art form. Watch any figure skating and it falls into two possible camps: before and after John Curry. From what was a macho, technical sport whose judges punished deviation blossomed - through John Curry's stubborn beauty - ice-dancing. This was no Holiday on Ice, but a new artistic medium. After winning gold at the Winter Olympics for a rebelliously balletic routine, Curry saw the world's stages sheeted with ice. Audiences and reviewers alike were enthralled by his genius. But Curry's story is about more than skating. On the night of the final, Curry became the first openly gay Olympian at a time when homosexuality was barely legal. From bullying and prejudice, to relief in the gay underworld, to his untimely death from AIDS, Curry's story dovetails with the experiences of a generation. Tortured by demons, Curry was forever on the run. Never owning a home, he lived on the favours of those who loved him. The only place he found true freedom was the ice. This is the story of a man whose body was a battleground. From love affairs, to violence in sex clubs, to its 'unmanly' elegance on the ice, every act was rebellion. John Curry was no activist, but an artist expressing his authentic self - yet in a world where his existence was taboo, his life was unavoidably political. 　　 　　译文(3): 《冰王》是一部关于一个失落的文化偶像的灼热纪录片，讲述了艺术、体育、性和反叛的故【资源囤-ZiYuanTun.Com】。这是一幅将滑冰从一项过时的运动变成一种崇高艺术形式的人的肖像，其中包括他一些极其出色的表演的令人难以置信的未被看到的镜头，以及库里的信件、档案采访以及对家人、朋友和合作者的采访。观看任何一场花样滑冰，它都可能分为两个阵营：在约翰·库里之前和之后。从一项男子气概、技术性的运动——裁判惩罚偏差——到约翰·库里固执的美丽——冰上舞蹈蓬勃发展。这不是《冰上假期》，而是一种新的艺术媒介。在冬奥会上，库里以一种叛逆的芭蕾舞表演赢得金牌后，他看到了世界舞台上的冰。观众和评论家都被他的天才迷住了。但是库里的故事不仅仅是关于滑冰。决赛当晚，库里成为第一位公开同性恋的奥运选手，当时同性恋几乎不合法。从欺凌和偏见，到同性恋黑社会的解脱，再到他因艾滋病英年早逝，库里的故事与一代人的经历相吻合。被恶魔折磨的库里永远在逃。他从来没有房子，靠爱他的人的恩惠生活。他唯一找到真正自由的地方是冰。这是一个男人的故事，他的身体是一个战场。从风流韵事，到性俱乐部的暴力，再到冰上的“无男子气概”的优雅，每一个行为都是叛逆。约翰·库里不是活动家，而是一位表达真实自我的艺术家——然而，在一个他的存在被禁忌的世界里，他的生活不可避免地是政治性的。
