Sheep Born in Winter ① "The Sheep Detective Agency"

I went to see the movie "The Sheep Detective Agency".

If Takashi Hashiwaki recommends it, it can't be a bad watch, right?

George the shepherd (Hugh Jackman) has been murdered. A will is left behind, and the villagers and George's children, who had been put up for adoption, are gathered. The culprit who killed the kind-hearted George is apparently among them. Fed up with the unreliable police, the sheep stand up for George. Since George always read detective novels to them, they are good at deduction. It's that kind of "detective story," but it's hilarious. They get all fired up to go into town to find the culprit, but then they can't cross the street and go, "No way!"
I think it was good that they kept the constraints here and there, acknowledging that they are sheep after all, so there are limits to what they can do. They want to live in peace in their daily lives, so they quickly forget sad things. Their minds drift toward delicious food, comfortable beds, and the next caretaker who will provide those things. They want to be at peace. They don't want to be sad. No, don't criticize them. Sheep are beloved animals, after all.
But you know. Sheep might look the same when you see them as a flock, but they actually look different, have individual differences in ability, and there are those who don't fit into the flock and those who are cast out. Perhaps there are things that cannot be forgotten and things that should not be forgotten. Even though I am just myself, I still find myself tearing up at the sight of them trying their best. Yes, tearing up.

Since I talk about sexuality in my lectures, I am always thinking about sexuality.
It is not at all erotic, nor is it even sexual.
It is not "only" about sexual minorities.
Always. Even when watching a movie. Even when eating sasa dango on the roof of a department store.

For example, yesterday, I started by thinking about the position of an ALLY (someone who supports sexual minorities), and then I thought about various things regarding the sexual majority who are not in such a role (by their own admission). What I am tentatively assuming as the "sexual majority" is the state of being a "heterosexual person with no gender dysphoria." These are people who can be considered (presumably) not socially oppressed in the realization of their romantic/sexual desires. Is the private support relationship with those "(presumed) un-oppressed people" really a one-way street?

But usually, isn't "thinking about sexuality" more erotic?
I'm weird, aren't I? I know.

However, one must be skeptical of the premise that "the oppressive structure only oppresses one party" (that's a stupid idea); rather, that is a complete fantasy, and the two are in a complementary relationship. Minorities are the ones who "notice the flaws in society first." Requests from minorities always reveal the fragility of society. Both are "in need of support" and victims of this imperfect society, and their respective roles, duties, and the horizon they should aim for together become visible... isn't that right? That's it, isn't it? What do you think?
If so, the relationship between "supporter" and "supported" is one between people who are "in need of support." Even in the relationship between an "ALLY" and a sexual minority, there is no such thing as one-sided "support." That's unhealthy. —No, what am I saying?
Is that something I should be thinking about on a Sunday night?

When I got home, the auto-lock belt I ordered had arrived. Thank you, Amazon. It's a belt without holes, so you can fine-tune the waist size. I'm currently managing my body shape (I'm always doing poly-cole, so maybe I'll try Paris Collection), so something like this is convenient. However, I suddenly wondered, "If this is taken off, will they know how to take it off (the other person)?" Like, there are people who can't take off a GI belt. And then I realized, "Isn't imagining the scene of having your belt taken off erotic?" and I was a little moved. I just thought of something erotic! Amazing!

But the next moment, I started thinking, "How much do heterosexual men imagine the scene of having their belt taken off by a sexual partner?" and "Do they refrain from buying it because of the difficulty of the belt's mechanism?" It's already a sickness. I might be hopeless.

So, to be continued.
I don't really want to span across articles, but I can't help it, I'm going to be late.

This article was introduced.
