Too much homophobia in this film.

Yeah I saw it tonight at NYFF and was kind of surprised by the gays slurs. I'm not overly PC and I understand that characters may talk that way, but it happened twice. Plus the film was about a music movement that was very much supported by gay nightlife.

Really? I didn't even notice it. Plus, it's refreshing when a film doesn't follow the overly sanitized politically correct rules of today....that it seems most American films adhere to. A couple of slur reflects real life....we don't live in a PC world so why portray it as such?

All those moments ... will be lost ... in time ... like tears in rain.

I remember "pd" (fa***t) being used at one point but it didn't bother me and nothing else really jumped out either. I'm gay...

Nope, not at all. I'm gay, just saw it, was fine. Chill out.

Oddly, I didn't think there was enough homophobia

Offensive for today's standards but those were the times. Perhaps the OP is a bit younger?

Silly rabbit, homophobia is like being rich, or thin.....there is no "too much".

Sad how the classics are ignored or forgotten these days, in favor of group-minded thinking, cultural brainwashing, and nearly absolute conformity.

BRING BACK THE CLASSICS!

What an absolutely ridiculous comment. Even today - an age in which homosexuality has been largely normalised and accepted in many parts of the Western world - young people call each other 'gay' or 'f*ggot' for not having a girlfriend or having hair which is too nice, or just for not being cool, let alone in the 1980s and 1990s, the era in which this film is mostly based.

Please keep in mind that a lot of the advances in LGBT rights only happened in the last 30 years or so, with the supreme court in the United States reaching a (still disputed) conclusion about same-sex marriage just this year, 2015. In France, where this film is based, the age of consent for homosexual activity was only equalised to that of heterosexual activity in 1982.

If you find a couple of youths at an illegal rave party in the 1990s calling each other 'f*ggot' while high on cocaine and ecstasy homophobically shocking, you have either been living in a bubble for the last 40 years or you are still 13 years old.

Here is something you might not know. When homosexuals want to insult each other, they also call each other 'f*ggot', or at least they used to. Nowadays things have changed somewhat.

I don't understand how people can go to watch a film about an underground counter-culture and expect it to be sanitised through a politically correct filter.
