It was out the same year “Trick” me out, and the gay men “Big En” didn’t look like men other typil gay movi. The qutn I was askg myself was: If we took away all homophobia and the external forc workg agast you, would you be any more fortable as yourself? I appreciate that you feature an digeno character “Big En” as the gay love tert.
Gay people e all packag, and I remember Eric [Schweig] was moved and motivated to play Pike. He said he was dog for his unseen brothers and sisters the gay Native Amerin muny. Henry Hart (Arye Gross) is a young gay artist livg New York Cy.

Wdy Cy Tim News - After wrg about queer cema for more than a , 's probably no surprise to learn that one of the most equent qutns I'm asked is what my favore gay movie is. Whout hatn I answer * big eden gay movie *
I liked that jt bee envolv a gay man, the whole movie didn't have to dumb self down or overwhelm self wh havg to be a gay movie. After wrg about queer cema for more than a , 's probably no surprise to learn that one of the most equent qutns I'm asked is what my favore gay movie is.
( My favore gay documentary is 1995's The Celluloid Closet, by the by. Henry's fatuatn wh Dean is immediately rekdled but everybody town—om his nt Grace ( Louise Fletcher) to gff teddy bear Jim ( O'Neal Compton), the general store owner, to the Widow Thayer ( Nan Mason)—works behd the scen once they figure out Henry is gay to put him together wh the man they've cid is his sty. This quiet ltle edy of manners is one of the sweett, most satisfyg movi a te romantic is likely to enunter ( I dubbed a "gay Sense & Sensibily") and the film's lovely reputatn has only grown the years sce s release.
Wdy Cy Tim: I hope this isn't a pejorative—but my all-time favore "gay movie" is Big En.

WCT: I know when you ma the film 2000, to ll somethg a "gay movie" was a badge of honor. It's crazy how the culture has changed for gay film 15 years but 's also changed for pennt film. " What if you uld, what if people weren't homophobic, what if they were great, what if, what if?
" On one of the episos, each of the hosts discsed a favore, ltle known "gay" movie—and I talked about Big En. We were arrted together 1989 durg an ACT UP monstratn New York and we've been gettg together lately and talkg about the '80s, and so we're wrg a edy that's pretty gay om the '80s. Fifteen years on, you're gettg ready to do another "gay" movie.
Big En, the award-wng 2000 middle-age gay love story om Thomas Bezucha, is too lovely to miss out on revisg for this year's Pri Month, so we're payg tribute to this bulic treasure of a movie. * big eden gay movie *
TB: I wish there were more gay-themed films; I wish there were more films by gay filmmakers; I wish there were better films, perd.
But at the same time, for gay film, what's excg to me is that, unlike 15 years ago, there are out gay actors.
