おはようございます。KANOです。今回はこちらの記事から。
LGBTQ+の映像作品って悲しめなストーリーばっかりだよねという記事。
Brokeback MountainもCMBYNも好きだけど、切なくなるからあまりリピート視聴できないのよね。
pursue
意味 （長期にわたり）〈人が〉〈目的· 夢· 興味など〉を追求する; 〈活動など〉を続行する; 〈計画など〉に従う
It tells the story of a policeman who pursues a romance with a museum curator at a time when homosexuality was illegal. Diary entries discovered 40 years later reflect on their secret relationship after policeman Tom Burgess spent four decades married to Marion Taylor, unable to stay with his true love, Patrick Hazlewood, due to the law.

compassion
意味 [U] （深い） 同情, 哀れみ （sympathy よりも深い同情と助けようという気持ちを表す）
And while the story is handled with real care and compassion, I can’t help but ask: is it one we really need to be telling?

flick
意味 (主に米)[通例単数形で]映画
Starring Harry Styles as Tom, the flick has, naturally, received a great deal of press. Styles stars opposite David Dawson as Patrick, and The Crown’s Emma Corrin as on-screen wife Marion.

Patrick役の方は別作品見てみたいと思いました。
trope
意味 [C] [修辞] 比喩; 比喩的用法.
My Policeman is far from the first historical LGBTQ+ project with an emotional forbidden romance trope, and I doubt it’ll be the last. Each instance only leaves me feeling deflated at how so much of queer media centres around misery and suffering, rather than joy and celebration.

確かにハッピーエンドはなかなかないな。BLならあるけどあれは女性視点のファンタジーだからなあ。
torture
意味 〈感情· 人などが〉〈人〉をひどく苦しめる [悩ませる]
Brokeback Mountain, Maurice, Carol, Disobedience, Call Me by Your Name, Vita and Virginia, Summerland, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Holding the Man, Ammonite, Firebird… Bored yet? Well, that’s how it feels to turn on an LGBTQ+ film only for it to focus on pain, lost time, tortured secret keeping and repressed clandestine romances.

dread
意味 〈事· 物〉をとても心配する
Homophobic hate crimes are on the rise at a record rate, and I don’t need a movie to remind me of how awful it can be to be a victim of one. I already live with that dread each time I walk out the door as myself.

確かにわざわざ映像作品で見たくないかな…スプラッタ場面は大丈夫なんだけど、同性愛絡む暴力は陰湿で滅入るのよね。
miniscule
意味 ＝minuscule.非常に [とても] 小さい.
One moment in My Policeman really stuck with me, though. It’s miniscule but, if you notice it, it’s so poignant. An older version of Tom (played by Linus Roache) goes to the shops with older Marion (Gina McKee). There, he sees a young gay couple, out in the open, laughing, being themselves – without fear.

fiercely
意味 猛烈に, 激しく; （状態などを強めて） 非常に.
It’s getting better, there’s no doubt about it. With recent films like Bros and TV shows like Heartstopper. Even It’s a Sin which, despite its heartbreaking portrayal of the AIDS crisis, was able to also capture the magic of the queer community and how we can still fiercely live life to the full. But progress is slow.
