The Normal Heart and Why I'm Glad I Watched That Instead of A Documentary
Okay, so here's the deal.
The Normal Heart was not a documentary, but I watched it the other night and I need to write about it.
A film has never opened my eyes the way this film did, it made me understand my privilege as a gay man in 2016. This was a time period where gay men had just had their identities as such become integral parts of their identities. It was the sexual revolution of homosexual America, right after Stonewall. To have all of this immediately put back into question, to instantly be reduced to a life of shame and guilt once again must have been the most painful experience.
I can't believe that the world I live in has come from one of fear and oppression to one of such openness and liberation.
In other words, I cried during every part of this movie.
Breathtaking performances were given by nearly every single actor involved. Mark Ruffalo, Matt Bomer, Jim Parsons all broke my heart through their own unique visions of their character.
I loved this movie
