Western Lights- Part 08 In The Paradise Of Christopher Columbus

This is a film I have stressed over for almost the entire 4 years that TruthJunkieMikael has been up and running. Western Lights, as innocent as it seems, was rocked by enormous amounts of scandal that didn't really have much to do with the floating school boys or school masters or film makers and government officials in France that made this movie such an anticipated project in the art film societies around the world. I'll be glad to discuss these issues in pm, but as for the film post itself, I have decided to only express what the movie has meant to me. With hope that it will help the film to endure and be loved the way it always should have been. The Floating School was a project that existed for about 30 years. Allowing boys from all walks of life in France to leave the public school system and set out sometimes for a couple of years on long journeys around the world for the sake of a broader more hands on education and for the sake of introducing controversial social issues to young students without any present opposition. In Western Lights, this particular group of 11 boys and 1 school master try and set sail in a boat of similar size as the ships used by Christopher Columbus, in an attempt to travel alone across the Atlantic to some of the first destinations that 16th century sailors discovered in the new world. Setting sail in Spain and ending the film in the Yucatán Peninsula. The film was issued in 11 Sonnets, covering the fun, loneliness, adventure and excitement, and bonding that existed in the several month long trip in these young boys lives. It's really a great film. One I have been familiar with since I was a young teen myself. I was inspired and jealous of the adventure, the very close friendships and the cultures and learning's they got to experience. So, inspired I almost ran away from home as a boy to find a ship that I could seek adventure and romance on. It's a rather impractical notion in this day and age but I was a terribly romantic minded kid. Among lots of other things, I also wanted to run away with the circus, run away and be a pornographer/actor for Sebastian Bleisch, Roman Hysek and Pawel Rousek in early 90's Germany and Czechoslovakia, become pen pals with Sam Manzie, and runaway to Sweden to study philosophy with Ingmar Bergman. I know it sounds insane, and a laugh about it now, but I was a starkly open gay boy from a very, very young age, and in my experience LGBTP kids grow up in an entirely different realm of thought and reason then kids that are raised in much more common environments. Often, especially in the more conservative age I grew up in, we discover and embrace ideas and actions key to our way of life at a very young age, or we don't survive past those years. The boys in Western Lights exemplified everything I wanted from my life. A special bond with each other and their school master. A desire for love and adventure. To do things that most kids would never imagine doing at any point in their lives. I'm sure a lot of you will think this is sappy, boring, sentimental crap, but this film is very special to me, and later in life when I discovered the scandals that rocked every foundation of French society and their government because of things that went on at times with the Floating Schools, I loved it even more. All my life I've always wanted to meet one of the boys that got to set sail on these adventures and tell him how much this movie meant to me as a child. An enjoyment and sentiment that I continue to feel now when I watch it. I hope you enjoy it and see the innocent and joyous abandon that I have always seen in this film and not the reputation that the French government of the time has said we should have of the film.
