This Actress Represents Stephen King’s Addiction to Cocaine + 9 Other Movie Metaphors

3. X-Men

Fantasy/Science fiction film series X-Men is about gay rights.

Director Bryan Singer sat down and discussed his problems growing up gay with BBC Films. “… [A] gay kid doesn’t discover he or she is gay until around puberty. And their parents aren’t gay necessarily, and their classmates aren’t, and they feel truly alone in the world and have to find, sometimes never find, a way to live, he says. What better way to explore those personal issues “than in a giant, action, summer event movie! I could think of no better place to spill out one’s own personal problems and foist them onto the world.”
