Based on the book of the same tle by Leroy story of Mary Griffh, gay rights csar, whose teenage son mted suici due to her relig tolerance. It is more than jt a movie about homosexualy.
And if you are someone who thks that homosexuals are evil, I dare you to watch this film. Romantic edi are rare at this pot, and romantic edi about two gay men, starrg two gay men (and an all-LGBTQ st) are even rarer.
Bros wants to be a gay love story that don’t play straight. * bobby gay movie *
That’s an credible amount of prsure to place on a movie about two nventnally attractive (one lookg like a Marvel superhero) cis, gay whe men who fall love. He also has scribed the act of seeg the movie as a form of active ristance agast Supreme Court Jtice Clarence Thomas’s view on gay rights. But the movie is ncerned wh the specifics, meang, and prsur of gay culture.
As s tle suggts, Eichner’s script roasts gay male culture and s obssivens wh masculy and mcl. The way tradnal, heterosexual masculy is ld gay male culture is a gay nundm that should be ma fun of more, and Eichner is more than skilled at dog so.
I thought I knew Billy Eichner to be someone cynil, who’d wrten off romance, but Bros reflects a cursy about how love functns the heads and hearts of gay men.
Griffh, who once believed God uld "heal" her gay son, beme the subject of the book and film Prayers for Bobby. * bobby gay movie *
Bros operat on a gimmick: It asks explicly what a gay love story uld look like, ee om hetero norms, and then, by cince, s hero has a chance to answer that qutn. Specifilly, ’s a chance for Bobby to wrtle wh the ia of how much same-sex marriage — the biggt pop culture touchstone when to gay rights — factors to the inty of the mm and his own inty as a gay man. He’s funny a way that plats about failg bodi are funny, and watchg him navigate through the world of gay male sire — hookup apps, flirty texts, DMs slis, and circu parti — is sometim hilar, often at his own expense.
To him, the advantag of gay marriage have also e at a price: the sandg down of the edg of gay life (even if he’s not partakg those edg) to somethg more palatable for straight nsumptn. To Bobby, straight people love Scht’s Creek and s earnt gay romance bee ’s egregly, dopily unsexy — also the big reason he hat so much.
Sce he don’t want the mm to pretend that same-sex marriage is the fal, happy endg for queer rights, Bobby challeng his lleagu and his iends to image what an actual gay love story for gay people looks like. It’s a clever nod to the problem of creatg a gay rom- that don’t look like the same old straight stuff.
