"Ice King" is a scorching documentary about a lost cultural idol, telling stories of art, sports, sex, and rebellion. This is a portrait of a person who transformed skating from an outdated sport into a sublime art form, including incredible unseen shots of some of his outstanding performances, as well as interviews with Curry's letters, archives, and family, friends, and collaborators. Watching any figure skating event can be divided into two camps: before and after John Curry. From a masculine and technical sport - referee punishment bias - to John Curry's stubborn beauty - ice dance flourishes. This is not "Ice Holiday", but a new artistic medium. After winning a gold medal in a rebellious ballet performance at the Winter Olympics, Curry saw ice on the world stage. Both the audience and critics were captivated by his genius. But Curry's story is not just about skating. On the evening of the final, Curry became the first openly gay Olympic athlete, at a time when homosexuality was almost illegal. From bullying and prejudice, to the liberation of the gay underworld, to his premature death due to AIDS, Curry's story coincides with the experience of a generation. Kuri, tormented by demons, will always be on the run. He has never had a house and lives by the grace of those who love him. The only place he found true freedom was ice. This is the story of a man whose body is a battlefield. From romantic affairs, to violence in sex clubs, to the elegance of masculinity on ice, every action is rebellious. John Curry is not an activist, but an artist who expresses his true self - however, in a world where his existence is taboo, his life is inevitably political.
