Did kids looks older back then?

Someone recommended the film Dream Boy. It's a film about two queer boys meeting in rural 1970s Louisiana and made in 2008.

The story is fairly generic, very uke and same, but the culture portrayed around the time is telling.

And the lead actors look so old! I'm in my thirties and I don't look that old. This is a phenomenon I've noticed with older media: that children look like life-weary thirty-year-olds. Is it just me?

The film was muted in colour, great sound design, and the writing was very '70s. This movie could be made again today but with trans kids. Just saying.

Occasionally, there are movies that make you feel the #transgender moments of joy.
I just watched such a film for the fourth time yesterday.

If any of you like WWII cinema I really recommend One of Our Aircraft is Missing which was released in 1942 and is by Powell and Pressberger.

Obviously it’s a propaganda piece but that doesn’t mean it’s not also a compelling story and a really great watch.

The Bat (1959, directed by Crane Wilbur) is a #Gothic #WhoDunnit that’s better (and less campy) than you might think.

#AgnesMoorehead plays a writer of murder mysteries & May well be the original #FuckAroundAndFindOut. Really, all the women are pretty cool in this.

And #VincentPrice as the town doctor is all charm and elegance, even (and especially) when discussing murder.

Included with Prime & MGM+ (but worth the rental).
