Another really surprisingly fun movie I watched was, The Bird Cage with Robin Williams. This movie was charming; it was sweet and touching, all while making you laugh. The costumes were wonderful and it was so fun watching Robin Williams and Nathan Lane in a relationship! Especially being that Lame was a drag queen! They acted so wonderfully together to make your heart go out to them but also giving the comic relief as well.
The whole movie I giggled and sat on the edge of my seat just anticipating what would happen next! It was a fun suspense where you couldn't wait to see what would happen next. I also like how this is an "older" movie, being that it came out in 1996, when being gay wasn't so mainstream. That's huge that the movie not only showcased and condoned such a "scandalous" lifestyle, but also had these two gay men as parents. That is so controversial this day and age, I like to see that the movie not only supported this idea, but made a point to say how they were a great family who were capable of raising a great and "normal" child. Great movie!
