These last two weeks I have been involved in a lot of political
discussions about two topics (racism and gay rights) and how film has the
ability to express these issues and be the voice of those that can’t speak.
I remember hearing once that art (film) has as duty to express
what is in the human hearts and fight for our rights. I like that idea and I've always believe it; film is not just about entertainment, it is art, it is
language, it is revolution (I like revolution – passive one, like art).
All these have made me think about making a gay theme story.
However, I want to avoid clichés, it is not a new theme and it is difficult to
be original. The best way to avoid cliché is doing good research and watching a
lot of movies.
There‘s a lot of live
action gay films and most of them are full of sexual content. However, I found
this animated short which it is not the best (neither the animation nor the
script) but the gay theme is just in the background of a movie about an
orphanage and water pollution.
I know most of you might freak out with this topic but...
just give it a chance. I will try to find better stuff.
