Week 5 - Philosophical Film Posting
The film Flame On was mainly based on the idea that our conceptions of ourself are usually not understood until our death, and that any idea can change scope with time. This idea is enforced with the fact that Proust was easily identifiable as a homosexual, but he would engage in arguments with anyone that decided to call him "gay", this trait of his wasn't really appreciated until after his death.
The idea that homosexuality was not shunned or frowned upon in the times of Greece, but shortly after it was an offense that was punishable by death. Throughout history we have seen that the opinion of society has changed, and the punishments for things of old have become pass times for the things of the future, today we are free to explore any religion or idea that we have an interest in, hopefully this policy will endure into the future.
