"La ballena": dolor y bondad en los confines del cuerpo de Brendan Fraser

“La ballena” impresiona, no sólo por la emotiva y auténtica interpretación de Brendan Fraser a través de sus ojos acuosos que destilan dolor, pérdida y amor por su hija perdida, sino también porque solemos asociar a los personajes gordos a personajes negativos en la ficción pero, aquí, un hombre, con más de 300 kilos es un cacho de pan, la bondad personificada. Una no acaba de sufrir con Charlie,…

Gods and Monsters is a 1998 film directed by Bill Condon, written by Bill Condon and Christopher Bram, and starring Ian McKellen and Brendan Fraser. The movie is a fictionalized narrative inspired by the life and death of James Whale, the real-life queer director behind 1931's Frankenstein and 1935's Bride of Frankenstein. It's based on the novel Father of Frankenstein by Christopher Bram.

The story has fictionalized elements, so if you're interested in the true history of James Whale, you'll have to do some extra research. Still, I enjoyed the movie. It's a story of an elderly gay man living in his own shadow, trying to find someone to connect with while the world moves on without him.

It's not a happy movie, but it fucked me up in a good, haunting sort of way. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to have a good cry about queer history and our elders, as well as to anyone who's into Frankenstein or queer media history. Clive Barker was the film's executive producer, and there's a great behind-the-scenes documentary on the DVD where he and other crew members talk about queer history, media, and art.

The movie has a gut-punch ending and carries a few big trigger warnings, with the biggest being suicide by drowning, so be sure to check its Does the Dog Die page before watching. This isn't a "feel good" sort of movie, but I've always thought we need space for stories about queer pain, too.

Here's the trailer:

im TIRED of people telling me current Brendan Fraser isn’t fine 😭😭 everything about him is gorgeous

Appreciate that 2022 and 2023 are the years of Brendan Fraser, Ke Huy Quan and Michelle Yeoh.

Growing up I loved Brendan Fraser so much, that man was in so many movie I adored and the world doesn't deserve him after the way he was treated but he is still there moving forward and finally being recognized by his talent.

Data was always my favorite character form the Goonies and watched the movie so many times just for him, seeing that kid crying tears of joy cause the representation in cinema has gotten better (it still can be improved) to the point he was able to come back to acting and people recognize how he nails his performances is beautiful.

And the legend that is Michelle Yeoh, her face is in so many of my favorite films and is honestly one of my favorite actresses of all time. Can't say how happy I am that she is finally getting the love and recognition she is owed ❤️

I'm normally the person that says that we shouldn't idolize movie starts, but sometimes we can make exceptions.
