me trying to explain that i love old movies, not because they represent a time period i yearn for, but because they are sometimes just fun and also because sometimes i do relate to those characters even when they are at their most outrageous and their most melodramatic because they were made and played by real humans who experienced all the same feelings of fear and anger and happiness that we do and to write them off as ‘dated’ or ‘old’ is such a horrific way to erase the lives of many people who felt just like you and i

#misc.#old hollywood #the other day i saw someone call the children’s hour a bad movie #and it literally killed me bc they said they hated that someone in the ‘60s thought that was good lesbian representation #as if that wasn’t a very big deal for gay people at one point #that entire movie is abt how homophobia is destructive and evil !#oh it kills me how people think of these movies now #they look for moral perfection in media and they forget how hard people these creators had to fight for even that much
