Converting Christian Women Into Homosexuality....

This movie came up as a recommendation after some people were discussing topics of the intersectionality between religion and homosexuality -- basically some people are revisiting "debates" about conversion therapy after films like I Am Michael came out some years back. Even though I Am Michael had nothing to do with conversion therapy, the idea of someone converting from homosexuality is considered verboten in today's modern era, especially now that some regions have actually made it illegal to attempt to help someone break free from that lifestyle.

Though, ironically, that legality only goes in one direction. Converting kids into the homosexual lifestyle (since they can't procreate, only indoctrinate) is totally fine, and has actually become part of the growing curriculum around the world in many first-world nations (with Japan sadly becoming a victim of this at the behest of their government, despite protests from their general public). So what does all that have to do with this movie? Well, the discussion about the intersectionality of religion and homosexuality was said to have been approached with a "mature" lens in this film, but I found that that was not true at all.

This movie is like a lot of other homosexual propaganda that is all about hetero-conversion, essentially converting heterosexuals into homosexuality. The movie attempts to masks this with a few discussions about that intersectionality between Christianity and homosexuality, but those discussions are completely surface level, never go beyond "The scriptures say it's bad..." and "But feelings don't have to be sinful..." and that's it.

I agree with a few other posters in this board that mentioned that the film was just an excuse for building a nonsensical story around soft-core lesbian porn. But beyond that, I think there was a much more sinister intent as well:

The film portrays Camille as having a job she enjoys, a fiancee she claims she loves, and the prospects of a big promotion on the horizon if she can just keep her sin out of the public eye. Yet, she throws all of that away because an aggressive lesbian stalker literally and aggressively pursues her until Camille throws away everything to go live in sin with her lesbian stalker.

It's a crazy thing to look at when zoomed out. They no longer have financial stability, there is no future lineage for either of them together, and Camille is literally led along on a life based entirely on lustful desires she chose not to keep in check.

What really makes the film sinister, though, is that it basically depicts that any Christian Conservative woman who is happily involved with a man just needs a spunky, manic pixie lesbian to come along and she will happily convert to full-on homosexuality at a whim.

Worse yet, the movie didn't even depict that Camille had much of a conviction of what she had done (beyond the premarital sex, she cheated on her fiancee and thought nothing of it), when she confessed to the reverend, he kindly chides her to pray with him about it, and she just... walks out to go have more lesbian sex?!?!

The thing is, as someone else mentioned on this board, it's a recurring theme in almost all of these films: straight woman, living with a man (usually a boyfriend or fiancee), who meets a manic pixie lesbian, becomes smitten, fornicates, and completely abandons men thereafter. I think one poster said it best "Not one of these women ever decide that that lifestyle is not for them". And this movie followed that trend.

And it gets even worse: the faux discussions about religion and homosexuality are completley glossed over. Camille never once considers "What if I want to have kids? What about financial stability? What will my future lineage or lack thereof look like? What would God have me do?"

Of course, the movie couldn't touch on those topics because other than just living in lusts, there was no benefit to giving up her life. So they just can't discuss it at all. It's also ironic because whenever men are portrayed as pursuing their lusts for other women in films -- cheating on their girlfriend/fiancee -- they're depicted as absolute villains and dogs. Like in the movie The Holiday. Funny how that was the same premise of infidelity, yet it was celebrated here in When Night Is Falling (and even though Camille was supposed to be Christian) while it was condemned in The Holiday (even though I don't think any of those characters were religious).

In short, promoting the conversion of Christian straight women into homosexuality is a-okay according to Liberal filmmakers, but showing a man getting his life in order and leaving homosexuality behind so he can continue his lineage is not. Definitely gets the noggin' joggin'.
