Trans Representation Through Disney’s 'Mulan'
Mulan had to struggle to feel like herself and see herself properly. Some of us have to strive to have our reflection mimic what’s inside. We have to crawl. We have to fight.

Based on the iconic Indian comic book from the 80s (Aadamkhor Hatyara) by Raj Comics, the film tells the story of Parul Diwan who returns to her father's idyllic cottage for a vacation with her friends. When her father disappears the next morning along with the mysterious servant, Karmu, Parul and her friends are faced with a bone crunching nightmare.

The “gay best friend”, an age-old trope, has been done in countless films and television series. Ranging from one-note (Sex and the City's Stanford and Mario) to nuanced (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt's Tituss), the gay best friend exists to support and advise the main protagonist, with their conflicts swept to the side.
Red, White and Royal Blue still does not have an official release date. However, the cast has been sharing pictures of their filming.
By depicting 4 different stories, Director Sergio Tovar Velarde keeps the focus on the shared humanity and search for love (both self and romantic) of various gay Mexican men.
A best friend that will stick with you to the end, on a group trip from hell, is someone to die for.
