Homosexuals have existed since the dawn of mankind: similarly, since there have been movies, there have been homonyms on the screen—wait a minute, the meaning of 'appearance' does not necessarily refer to a face-to-face, upright, and dignified appearance on stage, but Yes (most of the time) they cover up and dodge, and dodge in and out (the literary accent is to say that they cross Chencang in the dark), otherwise, they will be in the wild without exception, neither female nor male.
Academy Award winners Epstein and Friedman were determined to set things right. Using the classic book "The Celluloid Closet" on gay films as a blueprint, they collected more than 100 Hollywood masterpieces, dissected them one by one, and dissected them one by one. Actors Tony Curtis, Sally Melin, Susan Sarandon and Hubin Goldberg were invited to share what they saw and heard. The completed film is not only a history of the development of Hollywood movies, but also a history of American pop culture treatment, the history of blood and tears in dealing with homosexuality/It makes you laugh out loud, and also teaches you to be silent.

The Celluloid Closet quotes

  • Shirley MacLaine: None of us were really aware. We might have been forerunners, but we weren't really, because we didn't do the picture right. We were in the mindset of not understanding what we were basically doing. These days, there would be a tremendous outcry, as well there should be. Why would Martha break down and say, "Oh my god, what's wrong with me, I'm so polluted, I've ruined you." She would fight! She would fight for her budding preference. And when you look at it, to have Martha play that scene - and no one questioned it - what that meant, or what the alternatives could have been underneath the dialog, it's mind boggling. The profundity of this subject was not in the lexicon of our rehearsal period. Audrey and I never talked about this. Isn't that amazing? Truly amazing.

  • Susan Sarandon: Oh, movies are important and they're dangerous because we're the keeper of the dreams. You go into a little dark room and become incredibly vulnerable - on one hand all your perspectives can be challenged, you could feel something you couldn't feel normally. It can encourage you to be the protagonist in your own life. On the other hand it can completely misshape you.
