13 - No Barriers Should Exist

Zombadings is a movie about a guy named Remington who mocks gay people when he was a child. As a child, whenever Remington sees a gay person, he will mock him. There came a time when Remington was with his mother in the cemetery, Remington heard something and tried to look for it. As he was looking for it, he saw a gay person. Not knowing the gay person is a witch, he kept on mocking the witch. The witch then cursed Remington that on his 21st birthday he will turn gay.

I can also consider that the movie is subversive. It shows how the gay society is not accepted by the

community. They are being mocked by the kids like how Remington did as a child. The adults of the male community does not accept the gays in being part of our community like how they are killing them using the gun made by a student. The movie showed the differences of men and women by the things that men do and the things that women do (men do the building or constructing a building) while the women do the typical things like cooking except for Remington's mother as she was a police officer. (Police officers are mostly portrayed by men) 

There were scenes in the movie that made it more entertaining than rather being more serious about gays not being accepted in the community like when Remington was dancing. I found that funny. Another scene would be when Mrs. Montano was skating inside the house. 

 I found out that in the movie the directors found it very hard to look for someone who will portray as Remington. It took them a lot of time. With that knowing, I am praising Mart Escudero that he was able to enter such a big role. Mart Escudero was known for acting serious characters so this adds to the praising I am praising to him since it can be hard to act a role that is more into comedy when you came from portraying serious characters.

The movie was good. I liked it. It was funny and entertaining yet important to us. It showed us that we should learn to accept people and accept their personalities in life. Nothing should block us from accepting others.
