NO I don't admit that. And although I would admit that there would be alot of black people in a movie about Dr. Martin Luther King or say Malcom X. I don't expect that a movie about gay cowboys would have 2 gays stars and a gay director. No I don't think that at all.
Well, I suggested you admit it was quite reasonable. So, you think that a film important to black people would have a large number of black people on staff, but a film that has had a huge success about a gay couple would not have any more than an average number of gay people working on it. Interesting.
Why? What's the difference? Why would a gay mainstream movie not interest gay people in the movie industry, but a Malcom X movie would be attractive as a project for black people in the industry?
Heck I didn't assume Anthony Hopkins was a serial killer who ate people's livers? But he sure did a good job playing one.
I don't know if you mean to sound patronising, but I don't think that anywhere in my post I suggested that movies are real life.
Playing Jack Twist doesn't make Jake gay or straight, or anything except an actor. However, this is a film about gay guys, and the team behind it are being asked to put together a film which will follow the story faithfully and put across a convincing performance. Would it not make sense that at least a few of the crew would be gay? Why not one or more of the actors too? You don't think that a director of Lee's standing can pick and choose films? Why is it inconceivable that he may be gay himself, and that was what interested him in this project? Surely it is possible.
Again, what is the factor about BBM that makes you think that gay people would not have been interested in being part of the movie/crew?
I don't know to tell you the truth. I presume you mean career wise? I guess I really haven't given it any thought, because I never thought he was gay! lol
Well, I am guessing career wise. Coming out probably has a more marginal effect on, for example, people's weekly groceries.
So, when you saw a guy playing a gay cowboy, it never occurred to you he might be gay himself?
If we cast the net wider than Jake, what sort of effect do you think might be seen in the career of any actor who comes out? Any impact? None? Change in roles?
