France’s children are now going to be treated to the ridiculous spectacle of a batty old right-wing cat, abandoned and trapped in a fairy-tale castle tower, which is all that is left of the old ways. This old pussy-cat, predictably named Agathe (Agatha is a really old-fashioned name in France as in England), is ripe for conversion to the beautiful, modern lifestyles emerging beyond the confines of her castle, (in which the only love imaginable is that dry and dusty old kind that exists between handsome princes and beautiful princesses … )
Enter Felix, a lively young green boy-fish who feels drawn to the equally lively and somewhat slimmer Leon, another boy-fish, this time coloured a lovely shade of blue. All the old nastiness of Agatha-melts away when she sees the free and happy way these two boyish fishes frolic around in the flooded ruins of the old heterosexual society, presumably wiped out by global warming. Now she herself begins to wonder whether she should leave her old castle behind and look for frienship, or sex, herself …
Of course, the film is all wonderfully poetic and artistic. It is beautifully done, from what we can see of the trailer (available at http://www.le-baiser-de-la-lune.fr/)
But the subtext is clear enough. The film-makers would say they are against ‘homophobia’, but the film portrays heterosexuality itself, and not just the attitudes of hardened heterosexuals, as something out-dated and out-of-touch. Homosexual love is portrayed as liberating and almost as a kind of renassaince of love for the loveless old world.
The film-makers are preparing a kit which will enable children of 9 and 10 to watch the film at school, then play role-play games that explore new and different ways of loving (!), then discuss the wider issues and find out the specifics of how boys can have sex amongst themselves, and girls too, instead of with each other, like those old-fashioned princes and princesses.
No surprise that the project is sponsored by a rogues’ gallery of gay organisations plus the French youth and sport ministry …
The film is called The kiss of the moon, although the word for kiss can also be translated to mean something more physical. This would no doubt come out in the discussions with the kids afterwards.
One thing about the film is spot-on: the idea that our age-old culture is drowning, and not just because of global warming.
I prefer the family tale of Mary and Joseph, and their mysterious new-born babe who also brings a new message of love to a weary world. Now that is a tale worth telling our children …
🙁 This makes me sick. And France used to be known for all it’s *heterosexual* passion and lovers and romance, all that old-fashioned, stuff? Chateaus and lakes and princesses.
Whatever happened to the lovely French fairy tales, so many of which we share? Beauty and the Beast, even Cinderella? Or perhaps Cyrano de Bergerac?
Beauty and the Beast (‘La Belle et la Bête’ en français) has a proper moral, too. (Gasp!) And teaches how mistreatment of the poor can have profound consequences, and also how love is not in appearances, either. And it ends with love between a Prince and Princess.
Alas, you are right, it seems the old ways are drowning in the sewage of the rotten apple we now behold called the Present. Or perhaps the Future. We must pray, and pray very hard. And then live out these “Old dying ways,” even in the “dark,” for one day we shall emerge victorious. We will be the only ones with children. xD
I am reminded of The Giver, of early Christians, recusant Catholics, even the Jews in hiding…….
And lets not forget Farhenheit 451, when all books were dangerous and burned….
It contains admirable and accessible posts. I accept apprehend a lot of of them and got a lot from them.
