As anyone who reads this blog would know, the Oscars recognized Colin Firth's portrayal of George in 'A Single Man.' I've mentioned this film before.
I thought it would be worth revisiting Tom Ford's interview with Charlie Rose last December.
He gives interesting insights about the film and fulfillment - but its moments when he talks about the word he uses for his lover or how he forgets that he is gay, that fascinate me most.
It's in those candid moments that I'm struck how unusual it is to watch a gay man talking about these sorts of things on tv, much less at the table of Charlie Rose. We need more of this. We need more conversations and it's something I intend to bring to this blog.
I can promise you that no one will forget that Tom Ford is gay when he says the word "absolutely." It's a delicious expression of gayness.
So take a look, it's well worth it and may send you right back to the film. I saw it four times and it only got better with each viewing.
Word to all novelists, film makers, playwrights - let's pickup the narrative where Tom Ford's George left it, and explore the joy.
