My new Dress
I know it doesn’t really fit in here age-wise but it was way too cute to skip it. And it has an important message about gender clichés of course. Try to ignore the horrible subtitles, rather be thankful there are some; Spanish speaking people tend to believe everyone speaks their language conspicuously often ;)

Come on, Iván, “Ma vie en rose” is a 12 years old classic now, so it’s normal if it hangs in the back of the mind of many other directors. I’m sure we could also find influences from other movies even in a movie as original as “En Tu Ausencia”… ^^
It’s not clear if this is just a short film, or part of a longer movie, and when it was filmed, does anyone know?
Now, if I were the director of that school, I would bring Mario back to the class, ask every child to answer the question “What was wrong?”, explain why each answer is also wrong, and eventually say that, first of all, children should always exercise their critic sense, even when it’s their teachers speaking: the question “what was wrong” in itself was biased, leading to believe that something was wrong. Lastly, the answer is: what was wrong is that none of you helped Mario button the top back of his dress. ^^

=\ that isnt true and its kinda ignorant to say as well.
Actually, I find Americans tend to think people speak English or should at least.. which is silly.

What is a Man, what a boy? What is a women, what a girl? There are so many varied humans, hearts, in this world – who can say what is right, what is wrong? For those who speakes german, look for “Ein Junge weint nicht” von “Gerhard Schöne” on YOUTUBE… Du wirst mich verstehen… Nils

This reminds me of a French/Belgian film called ‘ Ma vie en Rose ‘ – My life in pink… or parts of Billy Helliot’s friend Mickael…
For the rest this Spanish small film is rather well done, also with the other boy erecting the word ‘ maricon ‘ – for the least, this reminds also that if the gay mariage is legal in Spain, not all people find it right and it is as often difficult for young gays in Spain as it is in other ‘ civilized ‘ countries like Spain that is still under the rule of strong religious influence.

Ma, non é certo che parlareve Italiano si potrebbe? Or that I’d rather go in English, alike? Però pocs li fan en Catalá, potser per ignorancia? Skulle vi hellre tala svensk? O cuál sería el problema si lo hiciéramos en Castellano? O melhor, em Portugués? Sed Latine lingua morta est! Let’s not get angry at each other! Josh is not right this time, because that’s not the way people act in Spanish-speaking countries. Some people may do.
I’ve lived in more than 6 Countries that use the language, and most people struggle to speak English. In the end, the only thing that matters is that THIS BLOG is in English! Hе в Русский! Nor German or Italian!
You can see people doing the same no matter their origin! Just read above! By the way: This film is from Spain (a European country), and in particular, from Aragón, so you can’t even expect other Spanish-speaking countries know about it! Anyway… 330 million people in the world speak Spanish and it is the SECOND most spoken language… in 25 countries or so… in Mexico alone, there are 110 million Spanish speakers. I guess this shouldn’t be so controversial.

Beautiful. And to the person who said “you don’t get father’s like that these days,” I don’t know what he meant. Today is far more accepting of this situation than in the past.

*sigh* not that I didn’t say that a thousand times before but… *you* come to visit an English site, so why should *I* learn Spanish? It’s just a matter of good behaviour to speak the language of your host instead of assuming he knows every language of the world.

I have seen so many ppl speaking eng. in spanish sites, and the spanish users tend to answer them in eng.
(@Leonard: Josh is German xDD)
BTW I always try to speak in the site’s lang, as you can see I speak eng, but also spanish, dutch and a little german.
About the clip, well I saw it like 4 months ago, it isn’t as good like it looks like.
About the subs, well if you want I can send you the raw file (with no subs), just remember that it is intended to be in spaniard art shows.

What is the point to learn kids to be a gay and bee a sex model for men. This must stop!! I hate when people abusing kids to go in pink girl clothes and strip nude for men. That is grows.. Comon people you cannot let men use kids to be sexual model for adults. Kids are free in this world and don’t use this pore little boys in this world to be homosexual. It is not the bible way. Pedophile must be stopped and do not small boys to act like a sex symbol. The boy in the short video in pink girl clothes is cute but not cute for pedophiles. STOP !! ABUSING KIDS!!!!

You read way too much in this.
Yes, you should stop abusing kids by using them in an off-topic rant.
The boy just likes to cross-dress. It’s not a gay trait. He isn’t paraded around for people’s lusts and it’s not against the ‘bible way’.
