      A moment of trance - it's not that you look at Renji with rotten eyes, but there is a deep meaning in it

      Celluloid Closet After
      watching The first time I watched "Crazy Flowers", I always felt that the ending was slightly similar to "The Tiger and Leopard". The former two clasped their hands and flew into the grand canyon, the picture freezes, and the singing sounded; the latter two staggered out of the dilapidated dwelling, and faced the encirclement and suppression fire with their guns and counterattacks.
      Many people believe that "The End of the World" implicitly describes the...

      You may be weird, but I still like you

      　　"Society is already very tolerant of homosexuality!"

      　　"Everyone is equal, I don't think you are different."

      　　"You are all normal people." "You people are all fine in contact!"

      　　In this way, it comes out of everyone's mouth, naturally and fluently.

      　　"Then how do you make love?"

      　　"Are you all rich and good at...

      how could I be this way?

      how could I be this way? No matter how open-minded you are, no matter how open-minded the world is, growing up in mainstream culture, you will panic when you find yourself in the slightest bit different from others. I may slowly accept myself but I will still ask why this is the case, how am I like this, why does this happen to me... Homosexuals are not sinners, maybe they will always be viewed differently, this It's not anyone's fault, and the world will never be fair, just like in the...

      Celluloid Closets: Hollywood's Look Back at Centennial Detours in Closets

      Prefer another translation: Film Out of the Closet

      Both storytelling and inspiring, a 1995 Hollywood review of the past hundred years of self-examination. Hollywood, as the cultural core and the all-encompassing mirror of civilization, reflects its responsibility in this film; a summary of the development process In place, not shy about trite mistakes, and an impressive tribute to the group;

      The helpless expression of homosexuality in the early films because of the taboo censorship seems quite interesting now. It turns out that the famous Ben-Hur also has such hints, and the screenwriter and director are good or bad, so I only tell two of this idea. one of the protagonists. There is also the implicit expression in the movie Spartacus that he likes to eat snails and oysters, so he kneels. I really want to watch Honghe Jie, the two protagonists in the scene of changing guns are so...

      It is strange that in China there is no such unforgettable change of times that can be traced back. Everything is only changing silently. Maybe we are used to being influenced by the outside society, and the change is from the outside to the inside, not from the inside to the outside. Susan Sarandon burst out laughing when she mentioned Tiger and Leopard, as if I really hoped to see the two...

      LGBT? History of the Screen. It turns out that in the 59th edition of "Ben-Hur", Misala had a lot of feelings for Ben-Hur. At that time, the screenwriter only told Stephen Boyd who played Misala, and Charlton Heston didn't know...

      Very interesting documentary, looking for the social issues that the images of homosexuality extremely reflect in the history of American cinema. From "Ben-Hur" and "Rebel for No Reason" to "The End of the World" and "The Philadelphia Story", the writer, actor and producer come forward to explain the hidden, deleted, misunderstood and vilified homosexuals in the history of American cinema in the past century...

    Background creation

    Homosexuals have existed since the dawn of mankind: similarly, since there have been movies, there have been homonyms on the screen—wait a minute, the meaning of 'appearance' does not necessarily refer to a face-to-face, upright, and dignified appearance on stage, but Yes (most of the time) they cover up and dodge, and dodge in and out (the literary accent is to say that they cross Chencang in the dark), otherwise, they will be in the...

    Movie quotes

    • Tom Hanks: There is this constant desire on the part of the studios to make characters likable.

    • Arthur Laurents: You must pay. You must suffer. If you're a woman who commits adultery, you're only put out in the storm. If you're a woman who has another woman you better go hang yourself. It's a question of degree and certainly if you're gay, you have to do real penance - die!

    • Susie Bright: [on Johnny Guitar] It's amazing how if you're a gay audience and you're accustomed to crumbs, how you will watch an entire movie just to see somebody wear an outfit that you think means that they are homosexual. The whole movie can be a dud, but you're just sitting there waiting for Joan Crawford to put on her black cowboy shirt again.
