Arnold (Harvey Fierstein, /eft/ and Alan (Matthew Broderick) share a quiet breakfast in a scene
from “Torch Song Trilogy. ”
'Trilogy' isn't usual screen homophobia
By Sean Axmaker
Emerald Contributor
Harvey Fierstein's Torch
Song Trilogy, adapted from his
off-Broadway cum Broadway
_Movie Review
play, is a welcome sight for the
traditionally homophobic Hol
lywood.
Apart from the turgid '‘prob
lem" dramas of the early '80s,
where homosexual protagonists
were viewed from a heterosexu
al perspective, homosexual
characters have been relegated
to colorful secondary roles in
most mainstream films.
Though a number of inde
pendent and foreign produc
tions have managed positive
portrayals of gay and lesbian
characters. Hollywood has tra
ditionally portrayed such sexu
al orientations as deviant.
This comedy drama explores
the life of a gay man the way
most films portray the lives of
heterosexual characters. Fier
stein reprises his stage role as
Arnold Beckoff, a female im
personator at a gay club.
Though he doesn't ignore his
"difference” from straight soci
ety. as best exemplified by his
mother (Anne Bancroft), nei
ther does Fierstein exploit or
sensationalize. Arnold's sexu
ality is not aberrant; it is sim
ply the way he is.
Such an approach should not
seem revolutionary (and it sure
ly is not), but it marks a big
step for traditionally conserva
tive Hollywood, whose forays
into presenting lesbian rela
tionships have usually been ac
companied by gratuitous
scenes of female nudity.
Gay relationships offer no
such exploitation angle (male
nudity is not a big selling point
as films go). Any film seriously
portraying gay characters and
relationships must instead sur
vive by its merits as a dra
ma/comedy.
Torch Song survives by its
merits. Fierstein shines as the
warm. vulnerable Arnold,
stumbling through romance in
the search for a meaningful re
lationship. Bancroft is excellent
as his loving but combative
mother, who sees her son's ho
mosexuality us a defect or a dis
ease.
In the stage production, Mat
thew Broderick played the
