href="><strong>Margot Robbie</strong></a> a moment when her blissful doll-e-to-life fac an existential crisis. Handler seems to know Barbie better than she knows herself, as she should. It’s a moment which the doll lerally meets her maker.</p><p>Perlman, bt known as the sarstic wars Carla om <em>Cheers,</em> appears the <strong>Greta Gerwig</strong>–directed film as Ruth Handler—a real-life legend the toy bs who helped turn Mattel to a global powerhoe, large part thanks to Barbie, troduced 1959. The real Handler died 2002 at the age of 85, so her appearance the movie is more whimsil than realistic. But the movie do clud several tails that are genue. The full tth of her life, many s, is even stranger than even the most die-hard Barbie fans may realize.</p><p class="paywall">Perlman’s character tells Barbie that she had a mastectomy. That’s <a href=">te</a>; Handler had breast ncer the 1970s. She also ed the plastics know-how she’d gathered om years the toy bs to vise prosthetic vic for other women like her and lnched an entirely new bs, <a data-offer-url=" class="external-lk" data-event-click="{"element":"ExternalLk","outgogURL":"" href=" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Nearly Me,</a> which still sells products today.</p><div class="Contaer-bkChBi byNLHx"></div><p class="paywall">The movie versn of Ruth Handler also bterly allus to her beg forced out of Mattel due to a clash over fancial problems. This is played for lghs, but ’s based on tth as well. The sndal engulfed not jt Handler but others who were employed at the toy manufacturer. “<a href=">4 Ex‐Officers of Mattel Among 5 Indicted on Conspiracy Charg</a>,” read the 1978 headle <em>The New York Tim.</em></p><div class="AdWrapper-dQtivb fZrssQ ad ad---ntent"><div class="ad__slot ad__slot---ntent" data-no-id="ni1brr"></div></div><p class="paywall">The <em>Tim</em> reported that Handler had been acced of falsifyg “ternal bs rerds ncerng earngs and sal 1971, 1972 and 1973 so that they uld fluence the market price of Mattel stock.” </p><p class="paywall">Handler was a trailblazer an era when society relegated most women to the role of hoewife, and her bs acumen ma her a formidable executive and strategist. Yet as <strong>Rob Gerber</strong> wr her 2009 bgraphy, <em>Barbie and Ruth,</em> “She had also allowed paddg and other falsifyg of the pany books, and her prottatns of nocence, her refal to take rponsibily, ma the prosecutn termed to ph for a severe sentence.”</p><figure class="CneVioEmbedFigure-kCfJjN hdJOda e-vio-embed"><div data-ttid="script-ntaer"></div></figure><p class="paywall">Handler ultimately dropped her ristance and <a data-offer-url=" class="external-lk" data-event-click="{"element":"ExternalLk","outgogURL":"" href=" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">plead</a> no ntt and was orred to pay $57,000 f and five years of probatn, wh the judge mandatg 500 hours of muny service per year. In <em>Barbie and Ruth,</em> Gerber wr that the judge told Handler her actns were “exploive, parasic, and disgraceful to anythg society.” The thor further characteriz the bed 2,500 hours as “the longt public service sentence ever hand out.”</p><div><div class="ConsumerMarketgUnThemedWrapper-iUTMTf jssHut nsumer-marketg-un nsumer-marketg-un--article-mid-ntent" role="prentatn" aria-hidn="te"><div class="nsumer-marketg-un__slot nsumer-marketg-un__slot--article-mid-ntent nsumer-marketg-un__slot---ntent"></div><div class="journey-un"></div></div></div><p class="paywall">Handler uld have gotten 41 years prison, but she still found her paratively light sentence to be severe. She wanted to create a giveaway program of her Nearly Me prosthetics for unrprivileged ncer patients who might otherwise be unable to afford them, but the judge rejected that proposal. Acrdg to Gerber, after participatg scpuloly tabulated chary work that she found “huiatg,” Handler was eventually assigned the task of g her bs know-how to give other nvicts job trag. The program was nsired a succs, and 1982, the judge agreed to cut short Handler’s sentence by a year and a half.</p><p class="has-dropp paywall">Handler’s creatn of Barbie isn’t closely documented the movie, which tak a more fanciful approach to the toy universe. Var Barbi and Kens exist a separate dimensn where life is idyllic and the problems of the real world seldom terfere. </p><p class="paywall">In the real world, Ruth married her hband, Ellt Handler, 1938, and they started a bs makg home goods, often utilizg plastics. In the 1940s, they entered a partnership wh dtrial signer Harold Matson to create a new bs manufacturg picture am, acrdg to the <a href="><em>Los Angel Tim</em></a><em>.</em> Usg the same materials,

10 GREAT GAY FILMS OM EAST AND SOUTH-EAST ASIA

Two elrly fay men fall love after meetg a Hong Kong park Ray Yng’s poignant gay romance. The sensive directn and subtle performanc make this film an sightful look at homosexualy amid tradnal Che culture. * hongkong gay movie *

Hong Kong’s LGBTQ+ muny has seen some solid social progrs recent years: The ernment regnized same-sex partnerships spoal visa applitns, the hight urt led that same-sex upl n apply for spoal benefs and file jot tax returns, and a study nducted last year showed that the majory of Hongkongers support gay marriage.

Of urse there’s still unrcurrents of homophobia, too, as seen the recent furor over a Cathay Pacific ad featurg a gay uple, the whdrawal of 10 LGBT children’s books om the cy’s librari, and the appotment of an anti-gay marriage polician to the cy’s equali watchdog. This was a tricky list to pile, not least bee Hong Kong cema, gay, lbian, and queer characters are often amed stereotypil ways: as the butt of a joke, or as the protagonist’s “gay iend” whose character has a lghable lack of nuance.

For stance, gay men have largely been portrayed as effemate and wimpy, or “mp mp i, ” much of the history of Hong Kong cema.

'PASSAG' DIRECTOR NOUNC 'DANGERO' NC-17 RATG ON A FILM PICTG A GAY LOVE STORY

Take a look at the bt gay films om Cha, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, the Philipp and Thailand. * hongkong gay movie *

But while recent films pictg LGBTQ+ characters still are far om perfect, there have been some promisg velopments — we’ve had the first mastream film to tackle the topic of transgenrism, portrayals of gay men that go far eper than the trope of “mp mp i, ” and exploratns of the lbian woman’s experience beyond the stereotype of an aggrsive, leather jacket-wearg butch.

Sensg that Sam and Rose are not happy together, Wg cis to make her missn to rencile the two lovers, but the procs fds fds herself fallg love wh Sam, and Sam likewise fallg love wh Wg — which leads him to qutn whether he is actually gay.

Sam begs to worry that the whole world will thk he’s gay after Wg lets slip “I love you, Sam” at an awards ceremony, so a bid to ward off spicns about Sam’s sexualy, Wg asks Fan to pretend to be her lover, but Wg soon fds herself fallg for the charismatic star.
