Is he famous from something?
Well, I have been spending a goodly portion of this month watching films that have some association with pride.
A lot of films aimed at teenagers, as it turns out, that are being given a sort of a queer angle in one way or the other.
And of them, the one that I just sort of fell over for is She's the He.
There are two guys in high school.
They're best friends.
They
really want the girls to notice them, and so they come up with this harebrained plan.
Well, their plan is that they're going to pretend to be trans.
And why that would work, I'm not sure.
I think you have to be a 17-year-old who's a little warped by hormones to think of that in the first place.
But it's a plan, and they go for it big time.
Now, the interesting thing about this movie is that
It is produced by, behind the scenes in it, everybody on screen, practically, is queer, and most of them are trans or non-binary.
And Siobhan McCarthy, who made the film, has made it in the most interesting way possible
If you think that, for instance, the whole bathroom scare thing makes sense, you're going to be challenged really quickly in this when the entire football team decides to dress up in women's clothing, emulating these two guys to get into the girls' locker room, right?
I mean, it's silly.
It allows for boisterous laughter, but at the same time,
It points up how ridiculous this would be in real life, that this sort of thing would be unlikely to happen.
And the whole film is like that.
