Polarizing though somehow Emilia Perez's favorite industry has won 13 Oscar nominations, setting the record for the most international film nominations. French Spanish -language music criminal film, by script and directed by Jacques Audiar, is also linked to "Brought by the Wind", "The Lord of the Rings: The Ring Community", "Forrest Gump" and "Oppenheimer". For the second Oscars nomination so far. /Film Jeremy Matai He called the movie "swing and miss", and with a score of 32% audiences Spoiled tomatoesHe is certainly not alone what he thinks that the film is a huge noise.

Suppose you are someone who loved the movie. In that case, I'm not here to tell someone how to feel a work of art. But given the legitimate criticism that is lobbied against the film in relation to both its trans representation And Its display of Mexican cultureIt is wildly disappointing to understand how many voters at the Academy are completely untouchable and clearly vote for the mask of performance progress on what "Emilia Perez" symbolizesInstead of allowing the communities presented in the film to take the lead and determine whether this is a portrait that deserves a celebration or not.

Emilia Perez won the jury award at the Cannes Film Festival and earned a bunch of critical praise, but the vast majority was written by critics. The more trance and queer critics watched the film, the more obvious the problems became. Lucky He even called the movie "Deep Retrograde of Trans Woman", a feeling I share. But those who love the film continue to welcome him as "progress", noting that Carla Sofia Gascon's nomination for Best Actress is the first for transgender actors everywhere (despite the fact that she implies Queer and Trans. who didn't like her movie were "stupid"). But who can dictate what "progress" looks like: well-intentioned cis people who are desperately trying to prove that they are not transphobic by making regressive chaos, or the real LGBTTIA+ community that speaks against it from the now-notable clip of the song " From the penis to vaginaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

Honestly, I don't want to spend more words talking about "Emilia Perez", because none of my article will change nominations. Instead, I will exclaim the incredible list of trans-movements that appeared in 2024 and that deserve your time.

Although "I saw the TV glitter" it was not Jane Schenbroon's debut game, they really arrived with their second film game for two friends named Owen and Medi, whose obsession with a TV show called "Pink Opaque" opens up a supernatural world that reflects their own. , breaking Aries's perception of reality and identity. It is welcomed as not only one of the best horror movies of the year But one of the best movies of the year, point. If the Academy really wanted to highlight a trance film this year, why not persecute and poetic examination of "egg -shooting" experience actually written and directed by a trans personnel? "I saw the TV glitter" was such a monumental achievement in the transgender cinema that his message of "still has time" inspired more people to finally accept the truth about themselves and to go out like transgender. It cannot be said that "Emilia Perez" had the same impact.

And although it is suspicious that Alice Mayo McKay's "Christmas massacre" will ever be in talks on Oscar awards, Australian transgender film director Fifth feature film (all over before it turns 20) is a microwave horror recreation movie that can currently boast 89% of Rotten Tomatoes. It is a truly crime traumer and a madman Transjaj named Lola, who faces a vengeful spirit of a notorious killer in her hometown during her first vacation after escape and transition. McKay's films were fans' favorite dear On the Streaming Shudder application For years, and she is a promising young talent that is constantly getting better and better with every new feature. "Carnage for Christmas" is her best film so far, but it will only be true until she has released the next movie.

The standard for setting records for Emilia Perez as an international edition is also praised for the "revolutionary" theme of the film. However, not only is there a Spanish -language transgender musical ("20 centimeters" since 2005), it was not the only non -American trans film released in 2024. Levan Akin's "Crossing" was criminally seen, despite winning the jury and the International Film Festival in Berlin and the Guadalajara International Film Festival. The story focuses on a retired teacher in search of her long -lost granddaughter, ending in Istanbul where she meets a lawyer named Eurim fighting for transgender rights. Currently it can boast of a 97% of Rotten Tomatoescritics praise his show on the transnation and life in Istanbul.

2024 also marked the acting directorial debut of the activist and dear performer Amru al-Qadi with Leyla, a story of a non-parent British-Palestinian dear artist who hides his vulnerabilities and the desperate desire for love and approval behind the confidence of their dragging person. It must be admitted that it is a little uneven from the narrative perspective, but Bilal Jasna's main performances like Leyla and Louis Gretorex as Max are so thrilling that it really doesn't matter. Leyla is also not afraid to dive into a conflict between communities, something most mainstream LGBTA+ movies avoid fearing that it will provide ammunition to the absolutely worst people on the planet.

The independent film circuit is home to most films for or made by creatives from marginalized communities, and abounded in murderous projects that tell trans stories in 2024. The superhero satire of Vera Drew "The People's Joker" He played in the sold -out theaters across the country as he led his twisted removal of corporate comedy (and treating IP as a sacred cows) on a tour, completely with an audience filled with people dressed in a clown makeup.

And then there is the transgressive brilliance of Louise Verd "Anthology of Castration I. Traps ", a movie that has absolutely Zero interest In the attraction to the fading CIS audience or playing the game of politics, and the result is a cruel epic that extends four and a half hours. The story is followed by a trans-sex worker named Michaela "Taps" Sinclair, who seeks orchiectomy among watching clients and socializing with her friends. The film also features Vera Drew and Alice Mayo McKay, and we want to watch trance filmmakers helping other trans filmmakers revive their vision!

Teda Hamel's "stress positions" may be the only Covid-19 comedy of the quarantine era that is not shameful: a fascinating chamber piece for people essentially captured in one location, with the character played by John Erley who does not want to do anything with Other people, but stuck with them because of security regulations. Hamel's sense of humor is so sharp, and her delivery so perfect that when another character asks her, "But you always knew you were a woman?" She can answer with, "No, no one feels that way. I wanted to kill myself and this helped me, "and the audience wants to howl-to laugh instead of calling someone to check.

Also painful was the feature directorial debut of photographer Luke Guilford, "National Anthem", the story of a construction worker joining the community of queer performers of Rodeo in the US southwest. Eva Lindley absolutely blinds like Sky, and the image of which she carries the American flag and broken dugs of daisies on a horse's hair blowing in the wind makes a case for one of the best images of any movie in 2024.

There was never a shortage of trans stories in the documentary, but 2024 was a banner for them. The most famous is "Will and Harper", the documentary for traveling to Will Ferrell and Comedy Harper Style writer who travel around the country to provide Harper's safety while she again visits red diving places, while the couple learns how their relationship may seem like he is moving. forward. "Will and Harper" is the perfect transmission movie for Cisrood's audience And a moving view of friendship through the lens of one of America's most famous faces.

Internationally, there was a "Revus", a documentary hybrid where former Buenos Aires prisoners re-decide their lives and stories through glossy music numbers. Some of the former cons are trance, and some are CIS, but all of them are cabinets of endurance, hope and unlimited possibilities of imagination even in the most difficult circumstances.

But for my money, the "Trans Doctor" of the year was "Chasing Chasing Amy" by Sav Rogers; Partial trip to self -discovery, part of film history and partial examination of the way films have the power to fundamentally change us. Kevin Smith's Roma Comth of the 90's "Chasing Amy" was originally welcomed as revolutionary for the sincere showing of miracle, but has since been hit as "poorly old" and even *pants * problematic, But that did not prevent him from being one of Rogers' most influential films. Sav is also the founder and CEO of the Transgender Film Center, and "Chasing Chasing Amy" serves as a debut film.

This should be said, Oscar nominations are cool, but they are not necessarily a reflection of quality or importance. Please do not allow these other amazing trans-movements to be lost with time in favor of the one that is huge rejected by the communities he claims to represent.
