No, not at all. But the points he made were likely opinions of the time.
Btw, I’m pretty open minded. Regarding how they say Glen or Glenda was awful, well, I found it pretty expressionistic of him in a time when no one would dare come out with those thoughts.
I think it was rather a real work of art from that perspective. He used that film to actually ‘paint’ from his soul, expressing himself.
I know one could or would disagree with him, the subject very at odds with a ‘50s audience. He was really an original artist in film in that movie.
I was surprised at how strongly he presented his case. I felt his film was honest, and not deserving of the remarks made about it.
He had nothing to lose!
