Movie: BEAUTIFUL THING (1996, ENGLAND) Continued

At the conclusion of the movie Jamie (Glen Berry) & Ste (Scott Neal) prepare for an evening together at the gay bar. Ste is still hiding it from his father but Sandra is fully aware. Still coming to terms with her son's homosexuality but being supportive.

Jamie & Ste make sure no one is around and dance together but a crowd quickly appears. Leah (Tameka Empson) and Sandra (Linda Henry) come upon the scene.

Leah along with Sandra join Jamie and Ste while dancing to Dream Alitte Dream of Me by the late Mama Cass Elliot.

In fact the entire movie featured songs by Mama Cass.

It's funny the song Make Your Own Kind Of Music fits so well with coming out. Aside from elements of abuse and bullying this turned out to be one of my favorites. Two boys finding themselves and one another.

Nobody can tell ya, there's only one song worth singing. They may try and sell ya. Cause it hangs them up to see someone like you. But you gotta make your own kinda music. Sing your own special song. Make your own kind of music even if nobody else sings along. By Mama Cass Elliot.

The AV Geeks Film Archive, curated by Skip Elsheimer, is a rich vein of 60s, 70s, and early 80s education films and ephemera. My latest obsession from this pile is this TV station sign off film full of Air Force ROTC propaganda set to a corny synthesizer cover of the national anthem... followed by Mama Cass Elliot.

This post is to remember the singer Cass Elliot who tragically died due to fatphobia. To put it simply, an entire life of cruelty about Cass Elliot's fatness caused her to resort to starvation diets, substance misuse, and what very well could have been an eating disorder. She attempted to survive the fatphobia by playing the fatphobic, stereotypical role of the "funny fat person." Not even in death was she allowed to escape fatphobia, as her tragic death was used as a fat joke by spreading a rumor that she had died by "gluttony." More specifically: choking on a sandwich. Despite that not being true, people continue to believe that debunked myth today. If not for this fatphobic society, Cass Elliot, an incredibly talented singer, would not have died at age 32, involuntarily leaving her only daughter parentless, and likely would have still been alive today.

If you're not sure who Cass Elliot was, this is one of her most iconic songs with her former band:

And here is a solo performance by her. Some people might recognize this song since it was apparently used for a TikTok trend:

For more details about the horrendous fatphobia she endured her entire 32 years, here is a video and two articles that explain. A trigger warning for the second article since it uses the slur "ob*se" and "overweight."

In memory of her, please do not call her "Mama Cass." She hated that nickname because it was used specifically due to fatphobic stereotypes.

If anyone needed an example of how deadly fatphobia has been for centuries, I hope you'll think of Cass Elliot, one of the plethora of people who have been killed by fat people's systemic oppression and still faces oppression to this day while 6 feet under.
