This was a topic at the table this
a.m. with a declaration that the revelation that one of the major
actors in this film was openly homosexual meant that the movie was
tainted beyond redemption and provided justification for refusing to
see it. That this decision was made by the producers of the movie
without knowing the lifestyle of the actor, as explained here,
carried little weight. The testimony of those who had seen the movie,
to the effect that it was the story beautifully told of real people who
gave their lives for what they believed in, that the actors faithfully
portrayed these characters without portraying their own lifestyle
preferences (I cannot help but wonder what a moral inventory of every
actor who appeared in the film would look like), seemed to count for
little for those who were concerned about the lifestyle of one of the
leading actors. Others have expressed their disappointment here
and additional opinions here.
I am glad I saw the film before this story broke. And I rest assured
that the beautiful story, wonderfully told on film, is the fruit of
what was accomplished by real people portrayed faithfully by the
actors chosen to play the parts. It is the real people involved in the
original drama that gives this film its power and, as such, I would not
hesitate to recommend it to my friends.
