The Celluloid Closet (1995) Part 3
Loading...
Uploaded by astroman123 on Feb 24, 2011
Based on a book by the late Vito Russo, The Celluloid Closet is about Hollywood's treatment of homosexual characters in the 20th century. Never pointing a finger at anyone in the film community, The Celluloid Closet presents clips from more than 100 mainstream features (including The Children's Hour, Advise and Consent, The Boys in the Band, and The Hunger) that speak loudly in their respective images of gays and lesbians. The Celluloid Closet makes a persuasive case for patterns of sexual mythology in Hollywood, such as presenting homosexuals repeatedly as tragic, helpless figures redeemed only through death or as back-street monsters cavorting in the shadows. Things change, of course, and clips from more recent films by gay and lesbian filmmakers suggest a more vital, diverse, autobiographical approach. There are lots of great interviews with screenwriters (Gore Vidal), filmmakers (John Schlesinger), actors (Tom Hanks, Tony Curtis, Whoopi Goldberg), and others to enunciate the major themes.

Whoa, that scene from Rebecca was hot!

I always thought that when Ms Danvers said "Look, you can see my hand through it." was to taunt Mrs. DeWinvers by showing her the intemacy of Rebecca and Maxim's relationship. I was probably wrong though.

I never got that the housekeeping from Rebecca was a lesbian. Makes sense, Rebecca was probably bisexual.
