This blog will present news items about the motion picture business, with emphasis on lower budget, independent film in most cases. Some reviews or commentaries on specific films, with emphasis on significance (artistic or political) or comparison, are presented. Note: No one pays me for these reviews; they are not "endorsements"! Starting in May 2016, many of the reviews for new feature films have been done on a hosted Wordpress site, and this blog now mostly does shorts and older films.
Since the 1990s I have been very involved with fighting the military "don't ask don't tell" policy for gays in the military, and with First Amendment issues. Best contact is 571-334-6107 (legitimate calls; messages can be left; if not picked up retry; I don't answer when driving) Three other url's: doaskdotell.com, billboushka.com johnwboushka.com Links to my URLs are provided for legitimate content and user navigation purposes only.
My legal name is "John William Boushka" or "John W. Boushka"; my parents gave me the nickname of "Bill" based on my middle name, and this is how I am generally greeted. This is also the name for my book authorship. On the Web, you can find me as both "Bill Boushka" and "John W. Boushka"; this has been the case since the late 1990s. Sometimes I can be located as "John Boushka" without the "W." That's the identity my parents dealt me in 1943!
"Pink Triangle": a gay Nazi undercover informant has his own crisis of conscience
“Pink Triangle” (2014), directed by Ryan Jeffrey Davis,
produced at the University of North Carolina, sets up a covert homosexual Harmon
(Jon Parker Douglas) who is enlisted by the Third Reich to entrap other
homosexuals.
After he sees one of his contacts executed during
interrogation, he must face his own past and is own conscience. The lead character is quite attractive. With Bill Moser as the intrusive Colonel and
Davis Harper as one of the marks.
The script refers to the practice of "naming names" which Randy Shilts would describe later when he wrote about gays and lesbians in the US military ("Conduct Unbecoming").
You get the impression that the Nazi elimination of homosexuals was part of the idea of not permitting individuals with any imperfections that could need attention to continue to exist in their reich.
