Everyone’s mentioning this speech by Lana Wachowski’s, for the Human
Rights Campaign and I also want to be one of those people. It’s always, always
good to hear someone speak their mind about diversity, about different kinds of
love, about acceptance and respect for human diversity no matter what decade we're in. The Wachowski’s have always
been known for their privacy, as I learn, but it seems that that’s changing
now, and it comes in a moment of their new film, in collaboration with Tom
Tykwer, Cloud Atlas, which makes
kind of a perfect fusion, being that the film seems to be so much about that.
But at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter the film campaign behind it, that
doesn’t matter at all because someone in this land is listening this woman talk
and understand that they have a chance in life. It will make a difference
anyway and that’s what matters. Even if she would be doing this for herself
she’s still making a difference.
She reminded me of Kimberly Reed’s documentary, Prodigal Sons. It is
such a beautiful documentary. It is a contemporary story and maybe it isn’t, it
should be considered an essential story portraying family conflicts because we’ve
all been there. It seems a story we know, like Lana’s, but at the same time we
can’t seem to listen every day, any day actually. So this is a really worth
story, about who we are and how we grow up to be someone that no one
can define but ourselves.
Plus I’m really looking forward to see this film and it’s not because of her speech. Sometimes
I just need to hear a good word and that’s it. I confess I had tears in my eyes
after reading the article by Sasha Stone, at Awards Daily, but then again it
may as well be a personal thing.
