Then, I would have liked to ntrast that movement wh the portrayal and the image of the homosexualy muny, exhibg how that broke such a tradnalist belief system. The reason why this subject fascated me was that I was allured by the films of Pedro Almodóvar, who I believed played a major role subvertg the reprsive nstcts of Franism and machismo by stigatg a major change that eventually proved to be beneficial for the GLBT muny.

Neverthels, he was able to give light to the GLBT muny, by cludg an assortment of outlandish characters, both gay and straight. Moreover, Almodóvar nstcted the characters wh such plexy and plitn that the qutn, or ntroversy, of their sexualy/inty immediately beme sendary and almost normalized. In other words, the ey of Almodóvar, no one fs the homogeno, tradnal valu of fay, proper sex rol, rpect and votn towards one’s untry and relign (valu that the Roman Catholic Church and Fran had attempted to impose upon the people for forty years).
