It goes both ways. Continue reading →

I read in a comment on a review of a gay bar: “You don’t HAVE to be gay to enjoy this place”. It hit me so hard what kind of a world I lived in and the kind of world that shaped my line of thought. A world in which gay people are hated and marginalized, although we seem to advocate for their rights.

When you hear the expression “gay bar” do you, as a straight person, think of it as a place where you would never enter willingly, but where you would enter only once in your lifetime and consider it like going to a zoo, or you just don’t give it so much importance?

I know it’s a stupid thing to ask on the Internet, but please answer truthfully.

Noreen – A Short Film – HD from El Zorrero Films on Vimeo.

The author of this movie poses an interesting contest: try and find an alternative explanation for what happened, other than the obvious one your mind presents.

Here is mine: pervert Nolan was actually Noreen, who had a sex change operation. Noreen was the “her” Frank referred to when he said “I miss her”. The dead guy on the floor was actually gay and fell in love with Nolan. The previous night Nolan told him the truth. In the morning they argued, Nolan was holding a gun which accidentally discharged and shot the dead guy. Nolan than staged the scene to look like a suicide and called the cops. He hurried to make the Police call response time of 10 minutes. He feared that if he called in later the Police would have figured out there was fishy, as the gun was not freshly fired to fit in the 10 minute response time, so the caller is the murderer.

Con makes me think of Sherlock Holmes teaching Watson how to keep her mind open to alternate possibilities in the series Elementary. During his “mistakes” he makes you think of alternate versions of the truth. Him saying “No, the gun went off!” means he is hinting you a possible alternate possibility, that the guy did not shoot himself, somebody else shot him when the “gun went off”. The dialogue between them, “plotting” what to tell the team that arrives after them, is actually the dialogue that happened in the shooter’s mind: to tell the truth or to make something up.

I wonder if the guy that wrote this short is involved in the series Elementary or any detective series. I also wonder what he imagined happened with the dead man.

I say this because I believe that humans need ONE leader. Not many, just one. I think that even the most powerful group of people in the world has a ruler, ONE person, in charge, who can settle a dispute. The Alpha Being.

That’s why humanity invented religion. We need to feel someone is in charge in order to feel secure. The mere thought that we are in charge of our own destiny, that nothing is written for us anywhere, that our future is solely in our hands is purely ludicrous.

LOVE.

I also find the animation to have a very good analogy to the story of Jesus Christ.
