Thanks!
I just discovered this thread. And like it and I will find it more and more interesting!!
Even if it was true that Nash did not pay $ firstly for his first son's welfare, still he is human... (straights and others act like that too unfortunately) and everything needs to be said and found out, I feel yet!
Coming back to this thread headline: Rewriting Homosexual Biographies in Film, I find that very interesting and may it continue!
Regarding this title, you have mentioned (by a critic...): Yet sadly, because the film has not been judged a success, and because it did not set the box office alight, there is a high probability that these failures will be attributed to its frankness regarding Alexander's sexuality, and thus used as reasons for Hollywood not to green light future big budget epics that involve such a depiction. Thus could it be that those who extolled Alexander for its daring representation were premature in their praises...
....
To that, may I say that this Alexander film would probably or possibly been better to make $ if it had shown Alexander the Great as an gay or bi man!! Then, it would have made maybe more than 200 millions bucks the Brokeback Mountain movie did?? Likely so, I feel since I always read that Alexander was gay!! So, why now such greek lawyers against that - is it because Greece is now becoming muslim and thus anti-gay??
....
Concerning Certainly one might expect some agreement on this point from writer Paula Martinac, who suggested it was a good thing that A Beautiful Mind did not portray John Nash as a homosexual; because his eventual marriage would be seen as making a comment on the (non-)viability of homosexuality.
.........
To this may I reply, is that so too with the Brokeback Mountain film: (non-)vialibity of homosexuality?
Since some think that even the two main charators (Ennis ansd Jack) are straights??
.....
Hugs!! May Hollywood write and do homosexual portraits of real gay men lives!!
Thanks Shakestheground!
With your first sentence, I laughed immediately and gladly!! I do not know why! It made me happy. But your other sentences make me uneasy or sad!!
Do I think that life is an conspiracy? You asked!! I lost my jobs, to such foreigners who do not like christians, jews or others peoples!! I lost nearly my life more that one time, and once would have been enough (too much even) since four beat me up and left me for dead because I am a gay man!! Police did nothing to protect me, not even asked details of those murderers, nor take finger prints. My house was robbed so many times, cops did not care there neither, nor accept proofs!! I had to give away my house and property to the criminal whom I fought over 20 years, as that so-called neighbour who opened up crack-houses all around me. And that is nothing to other stories which are real too!! You starting to understand??
I have worked for many greeks who were born in Greece. Some have returned recently or lately to visit their country and refuse to live there now since they tell me that muslims are taking it over! You know that? That is their words!!
So why greek lawyers tried and succeeded to have Alexander the Great not so much a gay man?? Did muslims have anything to do with it?? I would not be surprised since they do not accept gays at all, but line them up for murder in some or all muslim countries, you know that?? Why surrounder to such criminals, when they are; that does not mean that some are not good islamics and are of other religions or other thoughts, for freedom and peace, hopefully they will all get and do, in some of those countries - some are good persons!!
You re-reading my 2nd paragraph?
Hopefully you now have enough information to start with. Be happy to help you,
hugs!! Let freedom ring throughout the World!!
