“The Ballet of The Red Shoes” is from a fairy tale by Hans Andersen. It is the story of a young girl who is devoured with an ambition to attend a dance in a pair of Red Shoes.

Honestly the reason why I keep bothering you fucking gays about call me by your name is because not only am I incredibly disgusted with the leaders in our community for uncritically praising the film, I’m also petrified for the impact it’ll have on our youth. There are a lot of lonely gay kids who feel that the only way they can experiment is by sleeping with older men because kids in their peer group are either hostile or closeted. These kids may want to be sexually active and think they’re mature, but they’re still vulnerable. Creating a story where adult/child sexual relationships are seen as being in love is dangerous because it can easily be used by predators irl to groom young people. No matter the era or the persons sexuality it’ll never be healthy for an underage teen to first be introduced into sex through the actions of adults. Age is not just a number, it’s not moralistic to say that there is obviously a power imbalance between a graduate student and someone who’s barely finished with high school.

“Another favorite of mine was actually filmed during World War II—Brief Encounter. This one deals with love. And of course there are many kinds of love. One, I suppose, the best kind, I think, is to find someone to love who reciprocates your love. I’m really the marrying kind. And I love being married to Cindy, who, incidentally, happens to be a very fine filmmaker. But another kind of love is to love hopelessly, to love someone you can never have, the awful sweetness of longing for the unattainable, that strange and blissful frustration. Brief Encounter, so gorgeously acted, so lovingly directed, is the finest film ever depicting that kind of love. Both heartbreaking and romantic.”
