About This Movie
So, you’ve got this documentary, "John Fleck Is Who You Want Him to Be," from 2019. It dives into a pretty tense moment in the 90s, right around the AIDS crisis. Fleck was part of the infamous "NEA Four," and the film hones in on the fallout of the government's pushback against queer artists. The tone is raw, really, capturing a sense of urgency and defiance. It’s a mix of personal storytelling and cultural commentary, which I always appreciate. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the weight of the subject matter to settle. You get archival footage and interviews that paint a vivid picture of the era, and Fleck's performances? They resonate with the pain and pride of a generation fighting for visibility.
