It’s becoming increasingly clear that ‘Stonewall’ does no justice to Stonewall. No one’s claiming you can get all of LGBT history from one film, of course, but if you did want a crash course in queer history on film — whether through fictional narrative, documentary form or mixed-genre — then there are a few films that can jumpstart your education.
THEY MENTIONED MY BEAUTIFUL LAUNDRETTE Heyyyyyy needsmoreresearch WE WATCHED THAT TOGETHER AND I STILL THINK ABOUT HOW GOOD THAT MOVIE WAS
yesssssss still one of my favorite movies even if they do end up, as you put it, “tragically capitalist”
Also consider a movie called “A Touch of Pink” - it’s set in Canada and the main character is a gay Ismaili muslim who has to somehow explain to his beloved but extremely devout mother about his sexuality, and manages to do it without falling into cliches about traditional elders clashing with rebellious youth.
Also his conscience physically manifests itself as the ghost of Cary Grant.
