Watching the last X-men installment was amusing for me.
Oh it wasn't the amusement ordinary fans would feel for three reasons: 1)i don't fancy myself as ordinary(wehehehe) 2) Im not really a fan just a movie addict and 3) the inner workings of my twisted mind would usually have a different take on a lot of stuff.
In the movie this particular person, predictably the father of one of the much-despised mutants, managed to develop this antidote which would permanently transform all mutants to ordinary,normal, two-eyes/two-ears/two-hands/two-legs (but not necessarily with functioning brain) homo sapiens. I gleaned that the supporters of this "noble" undertaking emphasized that there would be freedom of choice.
It would have been smooth-sailing but Magneto would of course allow no such thing. So he mobilized a dozen or so rebellious mutants, strategized...blah..blah..blah
As the movie progressed, I couldn't help but draw a sort of parallelism between mutant and gay lifestyles. You know how "normal' people tend to stereotype and cast judgements on them no matter how fabulous mutants(and, needless to say, gays) are. I was wondering how long it would take the viewers to sense my brain waves.
Voila! A few minutes after the movie my brother quipped " It was like a de-gaying drive/advocacy. I have no idea if my bro's sympathetic to the butterflies of the society, I never bothered to inquire. I had a feeling I would just be wasting my breath given the presence of ummm... gay dementors around us. Yes, even a motormouth like me values silent moments.
The idea that he recognized the similarity was a first step. I may soon discover my vibes are wrong but suffice it to say, it made my day!
