One of those is that in the real world, trans rights advocates have said that trans people, especially Black transgender people, often face discrimination from law enforcement. Sony/Columbia Picturesįans also noticed that Gwen’s father, policeman George Stacy, has a transgender flag that he wears on his uniform. Gwen’s “protect trans kids” is in the upper right-hand corner of the picture. Gwen’s flag signals that in her world, trans kids are being targeted and this issue is important enough to her to take up space on her bedroom walls. While the question of if Gwen herself is trans is more complicated, her support for trans people is literal and obvious: the movie’s artists drew a “protect trans kids” flag in her room. In Across the Spider-Verse, Gwen Stacy supports trans people For them, it’s something special about this character that can’t be taken away. In the meantime, here’s what those fans found, and why at the end of the day it might not matter to these fans what the official word is. I reached out to Sony to see if the writing team, directors, or artists who created the movie had a comment about how Gwen Stacy has resonated with fans but haven’t heard back. Coupled with the current, hostile climate toward trans people in the US, the heroine of the biggest movie in America being trans would be monumental. If superheroes are queer, it’s often addressed obliquely, mostly in postscript interviews and only in the faintest of gestures on-screen. There’s a dearth of LGBTQ superheroes depicted in mainstream, blockbuster movies, so Gwen’s possible transness - and even her allyship - is a big deal. In the wake of the movie’s massive box office success, eagle-eyed Across the Spider-Verse devotees have pointed out that the Spider-Woman is literally - e.g., has a trans flag in her room - and symbolically - e.g., experiences the allegory of coming out - depicted as a trans ally, if not trans herself. It’s a movie that requires multiple viewings to catch all the details stuffed into every gorgeous frame.įor a certain group of fans though, there’s one stand-out, joyful detail you just can’t miss: Gwen Stacy’s support for transgender people. I still would recommend it to some.At any given moment there are a million things happening in Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse - we’re pinging around the multiverse, meeting dozens of Spider-Man variants, visiting Mumbattan, learning about Spider-Man 2099’s Minority Report-esque police force, and so many things in between. It is true that the film ends just when it could have become interesting.but it is just one segment in Lawrence's life and even had that time been explored more extensively it could have been a much better film. Sometimes the repetition of the soundtrack, which is quite poignant and sad in tone, annoys me, but the acting is excellent.worth ignoring the soundtrack, which is not really bad. I sometimes watch this film and fast-forward to scenes set in the past. However, I would certainly agree that the secondary story (modern day) greatly paled with the actual Lawrence story, a pity really considering that this could have been a wonderful opportunity to reveal more about the great author and his life. Lawrence, and familiar with his real life story and his poetry. The film is worthwhile to see if you are an avid reader of D.H. How he does it is beyond me, and showed a real spark of brilliance in his early acting career. This is Lawrence's well known "dialect" poem and Branagh does it flawlessly.the words and the subtle expressions facially are terrific. His wonderful recitation of the poem "Violets" will not leave you disappointed and is worth the price. Get the film if you like fine performances and if your are a fan of Kenneth Branagh's. I have actually watched this film several times I own it.
