I will say, however, that ’d be nice to see a film that teach lsons about tolerance and empathy but did not also require vlent imagery which a gay man is the victim. …although maybe Anne Hathaway’s hair is the proof that a gay man did work on this film, and he had an amazg sense of humor?
Then aga, Anna Faris’ wig is downright atroc and that gay man should have been fired for that hairle. And the one gay sex scene was dimly l and fully clothed, while Michelle Williams and Anne Hathaway both appeared topls.
It’s a movie about gay people livered through the lens of straight people, and the straight gaze here is very thick. Then aga, ’s probably valuable for people to see and unrstand the “normalcy, ” whatever that means (however they fe , I gus), of the gay experience.
