Ok, so there’s this movie called the American Astronaut, and it’s a science fiction musical that is basically parenting and printing…in space. If I had known about this film sooner, I would have definitely done my final project on it. This is probably the best film I’ve ever seen in my life. This scene takes place on Jupiter where boys grow up with no first-hand knowledge of women. (Women on Venus found a way to reproduce without men.) To keep up morale they keep a boy on the planet who can actually remember his glimpse of the maternal as a symbolic substitution for the real thing…I guess it makes perfect sense that he sings to them about VOWELS before getting to the juicy part, which turns out to be nothing more than an afterthought:

If you haven’t seen the American Astronaut, you’re really missing out! It’s a truly incredible film.
