Queer films
Apr. 17th, 2018 09:25 pmI really enjoyed seeing "Love, Simon" and I cried probably five times troughout. A funny, emotional coming-of-age and coming-out movie that is just so needed.
I liked:
1. even in a good family situation, coming out is tough
2. Multiple black characters
3. People making mistakes and being forgiven
4. The idea of being a different person online than you are in analog life (and that you can fall in love with someone through correspondence)
I didn't like:
1. Creepy Guy's actions weren't addresed seriously enough
2. No queer women in his circle at all?
I also watched "Wilde" today, a 1997 film about Oscar Wilde, with Stephen Fry and Jude Law. I liked it, but it was sad.
