*Chris Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) Not to be confused with the Saoirse Ronan's The Host, which was released later than 2006, this film is a South Korean monster / horror film that was directed by Bong Joon-ho whom we all know for Parasite as well as other of his films that's featured in this rankdown. Also known as Monster, it stars the like of Song Kang-ho, Byun Hee-bong, Park Hae-il, Bae Doona and Go Ah-sung. The plot of the film is the one of a monster kidnapping someone's daughter and the attempt of said father trying to rescue his daughter. Unfortunately, I've never seen the film - which is why my choice stopped on this film - but individuals who love this genre will have definitely seen this film & most likely have seen it considering that, at the time, it was one of the highest-grossing South Korean film of all-time.

Deeee Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Brokeback Mountain (2005 dir. by Ang Lee) Sorry but people eliminated amazing films for the likes of The Princess Diaries, so I will not be listening to complaints. LOL. As much as I can recognize the impact of this film for queer cinema, I also don’t think a film casting two straight cis white men in the lead roles sits as well with me nowadays? And it is directed by a straight cis man? Though I totally respect the performances given by Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal. Really do. I am a fan of both of their bodies of work and talents and think this is a well-acted film with strong supporting performances from Anne Hathaway, Michelle Williams, and Linda Cardellini. Ang Lee’s direction is incredible here and he deservedly won the Best Director Oscar. The Library of Congress has preserved the film in the National Film Registry for its significance to culture, which is a significant honor. Again, I have my reservations over the storytelling - straight people love to tell stories of gay tragedies! Great direction, great acting, great job upsetting the conservatives, and great job subverting the American Western genre. But I do find aspects of the film cringe with a critical lens and I personally just love other nominations more.

Closeted actors should not have to out themselves in order to play a queer role! The first statement is a slippery slope, but I do agree that nobody should have to out themselves. However, when there are still hardly ANY films with two gay male leads, at some point you do have to critique a system that refuses to cast queer people to tell queer stories.

FrogLenzen Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 I was browsing the 2010s rankdown the other day to try to guess what type of cycle rules Alex would use, and it reminded me of how Dee cut all the queer movies in that game too lolololol (except Moonlight) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean you didn’t even ask me to change the cut to even have this conversation. I let you remove films you didn’t want nominated and was happy to do so.
