I needed this after reading the shitty stuff people said when Chris came out against dumping everything on streaming.

– What's keeping us apart ain't even real, your daddy, his religion, it's got nothing to do with us. – It's not just his, it's mine too. I've got the same spirit in me, why don't you see that?

Happy Queer Media Monday!

Today: I Dream In Another Language (2017)

I watched this movie a few weeks ago, and it STUCK.

(Don Evaristo and Don Isauro just before their first interview to record Zikril together.)

I Dream in Another Language is a Mexican magic realism movie about the death of a culture. It documents the efforts of a linguist trying to save the (fictional) language Zikril, spoken only by three old indigenous people. When one of them dies, the studies come to a halt, as the other two, Don Evaristo and Don Isauro, have not spoken to each other in over fifty years and categorically refuse to have anything to do with each other. As he looks further into this, the linguist discovers that the real reason for this feud is their past relationship and an awful lot of internalized homophobia.

Zkril is an artificial language, created specially for this movie out of respect for the people who still speak the endangered and disappearing languages today. The fact that it has seemingly magic powers, and that its speakers appear to be living on after their death, clearly puts the story into the magic realism genre.

This is NOT a happy movie. The internalized homophobia part is no joke, and the main theme of course is the loss of a language, and the culture that comes with it. 

But it damn sure is leaving an emotional impact.

I strongly suggest that everyone who is even vaguely interested in this subject read up about languages and language conservation. The Wikipedia page of this movie is as a good place to start as any, since there are related articles linked in the references list. I also would like to thank @celluloidrainbow for bringing this film to my attention.

Queer Media Monday is an action I started to talk about some important and/or interesting parts of our queer heritage, that people, especially young people who are only just beginning to discover the wealth of stories out there, should be aware of. Please feel free to join in on the fun and make your own posts about things you personally find important!

AU where SPN actually makes the obvious references to Rocky Horror like you'd expect and we have to fight to convince people "yeah it's because camp horror but HERE'S WHY it's also in a gay way" instead of just accepting we can never make anyone understand the unhinged Queer Cinema of their Pink Flamingos reference rabbithole that extends through IYKYK references coding Dean and Ash as queer apart from Sam and the twitter background of SPN's first openly gay writer Eric Charmelo whose co-authored episodes kept throwing in queer film references just because they could and all throughout the set dressing of s10 as they canonized Dean and Crowley fucked and oh my god open the schools this show is deep-cut queer poetry and assimilationist lgbts can't READ 😭😭😭
