has anyone read the play?...seen the movie/play? it is absolutely incredible. i read the books and just saw the film...it made me just sponteneously burst into emotional fits...crying...laughing... it's a very touching (not cheesey touching...but touching in provoking emotion) play about AIDS and being gay in america, religion, god, political corruption, and the american dream...you all should check it out if you haven't already.
i've heard about it, but am still waiting to see it. i hadn't really heard much about it until i was part of a local production of "the laramie project." from my friend who have seen it or read it i have hear wonderful things.
what's funny is that my humanities teacher just passed out the play for my class to read...talk about timing.
yeah i saw it. it was on tv not long ago in Australia. it was fantastic! i loved it. it was incredibly touching and artistic. so theatrical but also so emotional. emma thompson was fantastic and merryl streep and the guy characters and the... it was all good. "i i i i am the book!" i cant get that line outta my head. go to http://imdb.com/title/tt0318997/
actually, a quote from the movie: Roy Cohn : AIDS. Homosexual. Gay. Lesbian. You think these are names that tell you who a person sleeps with, but they don't tell you that. Henry : No? Roy Cohn : No. Like all labels they tell you one thing, and one thing only: Where does an individual so identified fit into the food chain, the pecking order? Not ideology or sexual taste, but something much simpler: clout. Not who I fuck or who fucks me, but who will come to the phone when I call, who owes me favors. This is what a label refers to. Now to someone who does not understand this, a homosexual is what I am because I have sex with men, but really this is wrong. A homosexual is somebody who, in 15 years of trying cannot get a pissant anit-discrimination bill through the city council. A homosexual is somebody who knows nobody and who nobody knows. Who has zero clout. Does this sound like me Henry?
for the end of the year my acting class has to do a project for graduation...we may put on angels in america...it would be amazng.
