American Eunuchs
Posted: Sun Oct 10, 2004 11:56 pm
Just went to see this movie this evening.
It was pretty crass, just cheap exploitation of the freak show aspect of it.
One of the film makers was there for Q&A after the screening. His attitude confirmed my impression that the film makers had no respect or empathy for the people they were depicting.
On the other hand, it was nice to have some kind of recognition of the existence of the eunuch community.
The film maker even mentioned the community that frequents eunuch.org, and spoke very dismissively of us.
I know this movie has already been discussed extensively here, but this was my first exposure to it. It was disappointing to say the least.
