Chuck Holmes' Story

[ksf-2 · 7/10 · 19 August 2018]

A reasonably candid look at the life and business of pornographer Chuck Holmes, porn producer from the 1970s, 80s, 90s. Later in life, Holmes had begun donating his profits to LGBT causes; while this was mostly appreciated, there were numerous cases where his donation was refused and returned due to the nature of his work. We see discussions from many of the politicians from san francisco over his contributions and career (Carole Migden, Mark Leno) but his money was not always welcome. Holmes also introduced the look of the very clean-cut, clean shaven men.. the average all-american men from the mid-west. Holmes was happy to support Clinton, since he was the first US President to really support gay causes. Holmes himself died in 2000. It's a fairly interesting story, and clearly he was a part of the sexual movement and history in LGBT culture, but I can't help but wonder if they tried to interview anyone who refused his money or didn't approve of his work. We only hear from those who supported him and his career. Good stuff. it's now available on DVD as Seed Money. Narrated by Jeff Stryker, who was a star of so many great films.

For many reasons, more an eccentric story or one about a man and his Falcon. Sure, the seasons of Falcon, like its beginnings, the political/ historical context are well precised . I do not know before the name of Chuck Holmes and, more about his biography , I was impressed by the testimonies of mates, friends, actors about him, especially about their tone. Portrait of the fight for a precise purpose after decades of cinematography very popular but easy criticize. A fair perspective about a long career and the effort to help , to give sense of life and to become , with risks, voice and support of a movement knowing many battles. In essence, a conversion. In fact, development of a work giving to it the fair final. The best trait - it is not a lesson or pledge or justification or homage. It is only a story about what becomes, in a moment, real important.
