The beauty of John Wick Chapter 4 ♥

[disasterstans]

Why is it that almost every queer film (not movie...but film) is a tragedy??

Why can't we have beautiful poetic queer films that end well? Why can't we have them get together in the end and live out a beautiful life??

Why is it that at the end of the 'classics' the guy gets the girl and they have a family or get married, but at the end of queer films someone (or everyone) dies or leaves??? It's not fair!

I want to see more films like God's Own Country (2017) I loved this because it was the first film I saw that had a beautiful ending that for once didn't leave me broken on the floor. Please show me poetry in motion, or just something queer that isn't porn with a plot, then show me a happy ending!

While I agree that happy endings can't happen in every movie and for some stories it's literally impossible to have one, can we please see more ' life together with a home and warmth ' endings for queer films. I'm getting so sick of the 'Call me by your name' and the 'Brokeback Mountain' endings out there.

Don't we deserve to have a beautiful end too??

Why must queer films make it seem like it's impossible to make it last? While I think 'porn with a plot' and tragedies have their own space (as they should) I think there needs to be more happy endings in cinema for queers as well. Just like not every film is Romeo and Juliet, not everything needs to be a Blue is the Warmest Colour retelling. Why can't we let the queers have love forever ? Why can't they just be?

If they aren't pining hopelessly after someone who'll never love them, they're catching feelings for people who abandon them eventually, if it's not that then everything in the world is raining down on them and trying to stop them from being together and if by some miracle they overcome that and they fall in love with someone?? ... that person dies 2 fucking months later.

I understand that queers face more resistance than most heteros but come on.....can we please just have some fluff too?? 🥺

Or maybe it's just me who hasn't been exposed to enough queer cinema idk..
