EZRA MILLER:
In general I tend to be rather critical, sour and even nihilistic (or at least I have thought so at times). So to select a particular Current Issue has been rather hard, since thinking out of the box doesn't ever come as easy as pie.
From all the many current situations that are of my interest at the moment, I decided to pick up on one that is not entirely depressing and which may not straightforwardly provoke indignation so I decided to comment on this news I heard about a Hollywood spotlight male Celebrity who has recently performed a photo-shoot for Playboy.
To be honest I hadn't heard of such actor until today, and I had even overlooked the work claiming that frivolous pieces were the only thing that could come out of a playboy photo-shoot. However, due to this post, I started going deeper on the matter and I found out that the actor leads one of the new Harry Potter Film Series Motion picture's, and it blew my mind!. I found out how pop he was and therefore I have just started visuluazing the scope of such actions.
Beyond the aesthetical view I uphold from the pictures, or even beyond my opinion regarding the overall discourse portrayed in these actions, I believe the importance of this performatic event relies on that the pictures contest the image of someone widely related to a western-pop-culture, conservative-like, super star-character and makes the followers reflect over and wonder about the construction of male-gender, and from a point of view, these pictures, furthermore, install in the widespread global-pop-western culture, gender-construction-reflections that are (to me), necessary to sustain and to stimulate in order to deepen in our current society and be able to produce, trigger or behold transformation within our life time.
I believe these actions, when performed by characters which embody the most conservative values of western society and are openly displayed for everybody to see/have an opinion about, disregarding how against traditional values this may be, it is for me a liberating artistic act, because it stimulates future visions and opens up new dimensions for the new generations to explore. At least these actions could not be seen openly when I was 20 something!.
All in all, Ezra Miller's Drag-Queen Performatic Playboy Photo-shoot has resulted to be an act widely commented on the social media I participate of and because of him being such a celebrity, the visibilization of the queer discourse and the questioning of the construction of masculinities, I believe this piece of news is something worthy of mention and exhibition.

He is the actor of Flash, the superhero of Justicie League, I never would have imagined that he does that, I think that is very good.
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of this person, I find his personality and his way of expressing himself interesting.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know who's Ezra Miller and with your post I knew him. I'm agree with you; it's very valious that someone with so much popularity put in challenge certain cultural paradigms...
ReplyDeleteHe is good actor as Flash in the movie Justice League so I deeply believe that he needs his own movie
ReplyDeleteI think breaking some social constructions like this is very brave, and totally worth it of being a topic to discuss about.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't call myself a big fan of Ezra Miller but I know of his work. I know he challenges views of masculinity a lot by wearing dresses and make up to public events, and he's always been open about his attraction to men. He's really courageous and I love the way he expresses himself.
ReplyDeleteI saw some of his pictures on Facebook not so long ago, I thought it was something quite good that Playboy changed his switch and break the usual stuff of girls on the cover.
ReplyDeleteEzra is such an interesting name. I never heard anything about him, but I'm impressed of all what he has done for being that young.
ReplyDeleteThe Ezra Miller’s interview on Playboy is part of changes that their new directors team has been doing for get a “new face” to magazine. And about Miller, I recommend see the movie “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” where I knew Ezra ;)
