Ported from a dead account Most queer films are strictly about being queer. This is so much more. So much, in fact, that the reviews framing it as a film about sexuality irritate me to no end. How boring must one be to think this way. Even more irritating is the review from comrade_yui. A complete misunderstanding of the main themes of the film. These days a lot of people get into paganism because they view Christianity as oppressive. But gods are not your playtoys. One of the film's central conflicts would've been impossible if it didn't treat Christianity with reverence. I'm sick and tired of this culture of celebration and condemnation. There is no place for nuance. This movie is precisely what is needed now, in fact it's quite prophetic, but behold, most people still manage to lump it into categories with pointless celebrations. Queerness is not something to be celebrated. To say that would imply that heterosexuality is something to be condemned. Paganism isn't to be celebrated either. We're living in the world enjoying centuries of Christian, Jewish and Muslim thought. All the artistic, philosophical and scientific achievements that came out of direct engagement with religion. But now you're making me sound like one of those disgusting conservatives. How about we turn from the society of celebration and condemnation to the society of contemplation that we once were? This movie is about duality, and the attempt to make sense of the seemingly mutually exclusive components that make up Britain's past. And while it is directly about Britain, its message is relevant in many other countries. In fact, because it is about internal conflicts, it's relevant within most people.
