Director: John Cameron Mitchell
—————————————————————————————————————————————-
“Short Bus” doesn’t have anything to do with vehicle or distance.
In this movie, “short” is the function of computer language, meaning the motherboard of a computer. It relates to a sex therapists’ dialogue in the movie.
The movie describes a group of New Yorkers who are pursuing true love and sexuality. They hope to have sex to cleanse their own souls. During this period, they find out they are not alone.
There is a salon advocating freedom in Manhattan, people there used to gather together to exchange ideas, opinions…even bodily fluid. The film follows some group of people to record the relationships and sex desire which they went through.
Because the sex therapist feels that her own brain and the clitoris were blocked, therefore, she has never reached full orgasm.
The short bus’ boss in the movie told her: “You should imagine your physical and psychological being is a motherboard.
This can be associated with the outside world and others.
Although the motherboard is short, when the electricity comes, all problems can be solved.
In a sense, the director intended to light up the whole of New York City to respond to the topic.
