"The Inspection"--in Movie Theatres



Synopsis: As a gay Black man, Ellis French faces a turbulent future given his family's and community's inherent prejudices. When his mother casts him out due to his sexuality, Ellis decides to enlist in the Marines, confronting rampant misogyny and bigotry with an overwhelming drive to succeed despite the odds.

As a gay teenager who enlisted in the Marines I was looking forward to seeing how different things were in 2005 as compared to when I enlisted in 1954. Many of the boot camp scenes brought back memories and what seemed separate story of the Marine and his mother was very touching but on the whole I don't think anyone watching it, unless they were a Marine, will be satisfied with the movie.
Would love to hear what YOU think about the film and Jeremy Pope who plays the lead.

(By the way there is a lot of 'eye candy' but not the way a gay audience will want to see it.)

I did agree with the line, paraphrased, "If there weren't any gays in the service there wouldn't be any military!"

I suggest seeing it only because I suggest seeing gay themed films so we can eventually get the ones we want to see!
