Relationship Between Homosexuality in America and in the Middle East
We are supposed to compare homosexuality in America to the middle east. one thing that stuck out to me was when the mane character asked a guy if he could interview him for his documentary. the guy said no and walked away he did not even give him a chance to explain what his film was about. i think that this relates to homosexuality in America, people don't give them a chance they just walk away. Another part in the movie where i thought there were some similarities between America and the Middle east was when the mane character had an interview with a gay guy and he said that "people in school just don't understand." he also said he came to terms with himself and stopped lying to himself and he said that he told his mom and that she did not understand. i feel that this is so true in schools.

I noticed you brought up the scene where Karim went to interview a guy and he walked away, offended. I noticed the similarity between that scene and in the U.S. when straight men get hit on or asked about homosexuality. It is still a taboo topic here and many males take offense to someone insinuating that they may be homosexual. So that scene definitely parallels America.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the way he treated the homosexual man in the film is similar to how straight men in america treat other homosexual men.
