documentary

It's the gay pride parade in 1977 San Francisco. Gay rights is being fought in the streets as well in politics. The filmmakers do a lot of man-on-the-street interviews. They do go to NYC and switch between time periods. The flipping back and forth between the older demonstration and the '77 parade is quite powerful.This is an important archive of this political movement. There are compelling personal testimony with the street interviews. The multitudes of opinions especially in the opening section reminds me so much of the present day arguments. Things may have changed, but many things are still the same.

The Way The Movement Were

Pretty much showing the 1977 Gay Pride that seems to be the same parade in one of his art porno films. A very interesting documentary showing the intersection of people who were I guess at the time just want to see all the fuss.A lot of interviewees where particularly interesting and has a lot of things to say. I remember interviews with the likes of a older woman who is there because she believes that everyone should have rights, a lot of people comparing the 60's Civil Right's Revolution with the Gay Right's movement and homophobic man who believes his hate does not need to hamper LGBT's right - which was a mental whiplash to be honest. But smartly, Bresson never passed judgment - he just edited this varied commentaries into well flowing documentary.I think this is a good film for anyone interested with Gay Liberation Movement of the 70's AND have an idea how people at time where reacting to it. It really captures all shades of commentary AND hits it without any kind of judgment. It even shows one "kababayan" proudly believing in the movement.Highly Recommended.
