Disabled "Celluloid Closet"
30 October 2020
I admitted to fast forwarding the doc (recorded it on my DVR), but I thought Cinemability was predictable and questionable (anything that used Snow White, Mr. Magoo and Peter Pan as the old stereotypes while Finding Nemo and How to Train Your Dragon viewed as "modern representations" irks me (the 7 dwarves would've been negative if they worked for the Wicked Queen; Hook didn't lose his arm by defection or at war). Societal prejudices about special people is one thing to examine much like "The Celluloid Closet" which I find similar in structure, and even as an autistic Christian myself I'm tired of the stereotype/cliché of disabled people being called "God's children" and/or "angels" yet I'll always love positive portrayals of us disabled (mentally and physically) and glad to see a wheelchaired director put an effort to it.
