(6-5) CRITICAL THINKING FILMS: Flame On

This film was fantastic and to be honest my second favorite in the class. It took the serious subject of homophobia and blended it effectively with satire and a kitschy tone. It’s funny seeing how homophobic and sexually uncomfortable most people were back in the day when you look at the imagery of these strongmen flexing and showing off themselves. It screams out irony and just plain ol’ ignorance. The video does this all in a way that is magnificent and cheeky.

The subject of homophobia itself is something that is very important in today’s world. Back in the old days it was viewed as being wicked and sinful. It’s interesting to note that homophobia itself has existed since the dawn of recorded history. Some of our most brilliant minds were homosexuals and yet they did not suffer the harm of the wicked ways these idiots promote. Homosexuality is not a sin or an abomination. It is simply humans loving another person of the same sex.
