OK, so this is just a screen capture with subtitles, but the line was just too perfect.

Everyone should have accepting friends like these ☺️

She's trans...

Tap for spoiler...between human and demon, yes.

(Actually more like inters~~ex~~pecies, but whatever.)

Did you miss the whole scene which showed why they were in the men's bathhouse?

[–] lwhjp@lemmy.sdf.org 24 points 2 months ago (2 children)

No, I know how the plot of the movie goes. I'm taking it out of context.

Tbf you can even in canon take Rumi as a trans allegory with how she doesn't want to go to the bathhouse because of what she hides underneath her clothes but when her friends accept that they finally go to the bathhouse

Oh i also just thought about the final song of the movie and the line "My voice without the lies, this is what it sounds like" and it's a beautiful voice, still feminine but also in a lower register than what she usually sings and struggles to sing throughout the movie 🤔

Power move

Even as a trans allegory, the thesis is that Nepotism should prevail. They accepted her after nearly everyone got possessed. Kinda the wrong message you want to portray if you want to be accepted as your true authentic self.
The adoptive mother's fear was legitimate if soul sucking possession exists. Who wants a society of zombies?

They accepted her after nearly everyone got possessed.

Well yeah, but they didn't have a chance to up till that point. Rumi stayed in the closet until she was outed by the demons right at the end. As I see it, all the conflict within the trio was driven by her trying to stay hidden. The message I got was: you don't need to hide like you were taught as a kid; your friends will accept you; we're stronger together.

But perhaps that's just my experience coloring things. Society really has changed a lot since the 80s and 90s.

The question the movie evades is: stronger together under Gwi-Ma, or under Rumi? They omit asking if demons under Rumi still have soul possession, and if “demonphobia” persists. You have to recall, folks died under Gwi-Ma influence. “Demonphobia” should have generational trauma to heal.
