Aus gegebenem Anlass dazu mein Kommentar:
Musical sind das Schwulenklischee Nummer eins, Heterosexualität gehört irgendwie nicht dazu. Schöne schwule Männer die Muscial besuche, das ist okay. Aber Heterosexuelle? Das passt einfach nicht in das Schema Musical. Musicals entführen aus dem Alltag und alles was zählt ist die Parallelwelt, in die man entführt wird. Musicals sind Ablenkung vom Alltag, die schönste Nebensache der Welt. Es ist vollkommen okay, wenn diese kleine Welt politisch nicht korrekt ist, das Leben sonst ist es.

Sollte ich erwähnen, dass das hier eher als  SATIRE gemeint ist?

Ach und ich finde Musicals übrigens echt ziemlich doof meistens. Wobei es bei youtube auch heterosexuelle Musicals gibt. So zum Beispiel Predator the Musical. Wobei Predator ja eine Allegorie für die Probleme eines einen schwulen Mannes ist, seine andere sexuelle Identität in einem Hetero normativen Kultursystem zu akzeptieren.

Wer sich sich aber für die Materie interessiert, die weit mehr als eine Zensurdebatte ist, dem sei Symposium verbotene Filme an Herz gelegt. Es findet am 9. und 10. September 2010 in Berlin statt und wird veranstaltet von iRights.info und der Deutschen Kinemathek. Wer die Chance hat, sollte wirklich versuchen an diesem Symposium über verbotene Filme teilzunehmen. Das Programm klingt auf jeden Fall sehr vielversprechend und der Eintritt ist frei.

Infos zum Film aus der englischen Wikipedia:

Plot

The film is a domestic horror thriller telling of a family’s destruction by the introduction of a sexually predatory femme fatale into the household. A piano composer has just moved into a two-story house with his wife and two children. When his pregnant wife becomes exhausted from working at a sewing machine to support the family, the composer hires a housemaid to help with the work around the house. The new housemaid behaves strangely, catching rats with her hands, spying on the composer, seducing him and eventually becoming pregnant by him. The composer’s wife convinces the housemaid to induce a miscarriage by falling down a flight of stairs. After this incident, the housemaid’s behavior becomes increasingly more erratic. She kills the composer’s son with poisoned water, threatens to kill their newborn son, and then persuades the composer to commit suicide with her by swallowing rat poison. The film ends with the composer reading the story from a newspaper with his wife. The narrative of the film has apparently been told by the composer, who then all smiles warns the film audience that this is just the sort of thing could happen to anyone.

Critical appraisal

In 2003, Jean-Michel Frodon, editor-in-chief of Cahiers du cinéma, wrote that the discovery of The Housemaid by the West, over forty years after the film’s debut, was a “marvelous feeling– marvelous not just because one finds in writer-director Kim Ki-young a truly extraordinary image maker, but in his film such an utterly unpredictable work.”

Comparing the director to Luis Buñuel, Frodon wrote Kim is “capable of probing deep into the human mind, its desires and impulses, while paying sarcastic attention to the details…” He called The Housemaid “shocking”, noting that “…the shocking nature of the film is both disturbing and pleasurable…” Frodon pointed out that The Housemaid was only one early major film in the director’s career, and that Kim Ki-young would continue “running wild through obsessions and rebellion” with his films for decades to come.
