Re: Just finished watching The Celluloid Closet

Yeah, I was watching it because I'm in a class called Before Stonewall right now, about LGBT art and literature and culture before the Stonewall riots in 1969. We stopped about halfways through the movie, so I didn't watch the rest until today.

The cultural context thing is definitely interesting, and definitely something to keep in mind. The snippet from the 1927 movie "Wings" was fascinating, because it's doesn't so much read as queer to me than just... feminine, or rather, what our culture has deemed to be feminine, i.e., expressions of emotion, especially physically.

(Though I will say I don't think that argument holds as much water when you've got the screenwriters and actors saying, "Yeah, that was totally gay, we did that to get around the censors.")

Well, there is a lot of the same bullshit, but... I guess I'm trying to say it's bullshit in different ways? Or at least the scope of the documentary would probably change, if it was remade today, and I'd be interested to see those changes and why they were made.
