Wednesday May 5 @ 11:51pmBeing an artist or a writer, you see the world differently. No matter the gender, the sexual orientation, skin color, religious back grouse or race you find beauty in each person you meet. You can see the light, the darkness contrasted in their soul. You see people as for what they really are. Human beings.
Ruby Rhod is one of my favorite characters in sci-fi ever because he is Luc Besson’s vision of the hetero sex symbol of the future: a flamboyant, emotionally labile man who wears skin-tight leopard print or decks himself in roses, a man who accessorizes with big jewelry and dabbles in cosmetics. And the ladies love him. Everything about him screams “gay” according to our stereotypes, but he’s portrayed as a 100% straight sexual dynamo.
Besson is one of the few directors I’ve seen who actually recognizes that our ideas of sexuality and gender performance might have changed drastically in the future.
