Editorial Reviews:
|
In October 1998, 21 year-old Mathew Shepard was found savagely beaten, tied to a fence and left to die in Laramie, Wyoming. "The Laramie Project" is the portrait of a town painfully forced to confront itself in the reflective glare of the national spotlight, responding with love, anger, sympathy, support and defiance.

Summary: review of laramie project
Comment: a good film which exposes the biased opinions of many americans in a small town named laramie. laramie can be viewed as a metaphor for ultra conservative thinking in many parts of america, and indeed, the world and matthew shepard as the object/scapegoat of those prejudices. the motto "live and let live" which is mentioned a few times in the film is a cliche which many people give lip service to but do not actually practice.
it gives the viewer the opportunity to reflect his/her own prejudices and not only does it have to be limited to views and opinions concerning homosexuality, but can be expounded to include all types of haughty and proud thinking and behavior, which, at one time or another, we are all susceptible to.

Summary: Amazing
Comment: Normally, I'm not a crier, but this movie made me bawl. It's an incredibly moving story about the aftereffects the Matthew Shepard murder had on the town of Laramie, Wyoming. The film is pieced together very well and the acting is phenomenal. This is a story that needs to be heard, and I suggest every see it at least once.

Summary: No Changes
Comment: This movie tells me that nothing has changed since then (1998) to today (2008). There still are no laws against discrimination against gays, neither State nor Federal. It is still open season on gays and it is still happening today. How many killings today are due to people being gay? It is estimated that 50% of all teen suicides today are due to gays being verbably and physicaly abused in school and at home. When will we learn. Who plays what role is of no importance in this film. The importance is the MESSAGE.
