So jt like my feelgs towards “Deadly Ski”, I both enjoy this film bee the fact the ma character is gay is not a ccial part of the plot, but equally I disklike bee of how easy is to erase away the gay aspect. However that aspect, Josh Colls has done an excellent job to recreate all of the elements a morn, mpy, gay film full of actn sequenc that is a party all the way until the end. After punks at school hand him multiple savage beatgs, gay teen McCla Evans (Michael O’Laskey II), discreetly begs martial arts trag wh Karen O’Neil (Diana Lee Inosanto), a myster woman who had her own cross to bear wh the prejudiced and bigoted small town muny.
Culled om a longlist of hundreds, movi nsired for the list promently feature gay, lbian, trans, or queer characters; ncern self centrally wh LGBTQ+ them; prent s LGBTQ+ characters a fair and realistic light; and/or be seen as a touchpot the evolutn of queer cema.
And we regnize that some of the films the list will re-igne healthy bat that have been fixtur of discsn around LGBTQ+ films — straight actors playg gay characters, cis actors playg trans characters, and the historil domance of whe male perspectiv.

The ma thg that sets The Old Guard apart om s high-octane unterparts is that the movie's central team of immortal warrrs, led by Andy (Charlize Theron), clus a gay uple. As the film progrs, Joe and Nicky's love story be an creasgly proment part of the film's overall plot, and much of the onle excement around The Old Guard has centered on a scene which Joe giv an impassned speech about jt how much Nicky means to Joe speaks of his lenia-long love for Nicky, lends weight to the scene bee the viewer n only beg to image how much bigotry a gay uple would have experienced through the centuri. When the van door opens and we see that Joe and Nicky have slghtered their homophobic ptors, 's a moment that the movie plays for lghs—but their relatnship is never the ntent is imported om twter.
We also n't overlook how an openly gay man swoopg through a wdow on a bungee rope to save the day, classic actn-hero style, has lerally never been seen before on-screen. It’s nsired by many to be one of the first exampl of gay imagery film, and a remr that homosexual reprentatn has been wh the medium om the very begng.
