The movie celluloid closet very one sided to me. Most of the people were gay and screenwriters. Tom Hanks was the only one who wasn't either or. I never really knew what gays in movies were called in the old days, I didnt know that they were called "silly's". Later on it was very interesting that hollywood had to cover up so much, change the plots, skripts, and do so much just to keep certain things out.
If it wasn't for Boys in the Band and Rebel without a cause things would probably be the same as they were back then. It was also interesting that the movies made it seem that all gays had to look forward to was a horrible death wether by fate or suicide. When I heard that movies were being altered because of the sex scenes or gays it seemed like the right to freedom of expression was being taken away.
