I REALLY DON’T KNOW HOW TO LABEL THIS FILM. DRAMEDY? BEE THE DRAMA IS NOT THAT HEAVY AND EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE SOME EDIC SCEN—AND THEY’RE FUNNY—I DON’T THK THAT TERM ULD BE APPLIED. ONE THG FOR SURE, THOUGH, THIS MOVIE SHOULDN’T BE OVERLOOKED!THIS FILM IS FULL OF AFFAIRS AMONG THE BOURGEOISIE FRANCE. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS SCENAR? ANDRé LOVED CHRISTE, BUT CHRISTE IS MARRIED TO LA CHNAYE, AND OCTAVE—JEAN RENOIR HIMSELF PLAYED THE ROLE—A GOOD IEND OF ANDRé, HAD A FEELG FOR CHRISTE, MEANWHILE, JACKIE ALSO FELL LOVE WH ANDRé. AS ’S NOT ENOUGH, CHRISTE’S LADY--WAG, LISETTE, MARRIED TO SCHUMACHER, BUT WHEN A NEW STAFF WAS HIRED, MARCE, THEY FELL LOVE. SUCH A PLITED PLOT, DON’T ? BUT, JEAN RENOIR MANAGED TO LIVER ONE OF THE CLEVERT FILMS I’VE EVER SEEN WHOUT LOSG ANY OF S CHARMS. WHOUT BEG OVERLY DRAMATIC—THOUGH ULD’VE BEEN MA THAT WAY—STEAD HE CHOSE TO MAKE THIS FILM A LIGHT TONE WH A TOUCH OF DRAMA. THIS IS THE KD OF FILM THAT BILLY WILR ULD’VE HAD MA BEE ’S WTY AND CLEVER. I REALLY N’T SAY MUCH ABOUT THIS MOVIE ASI OM LOVG . THERE WERE SOME DIALOGU THAT GOT ME CKL BEE THEY WERE REALLY FUNNY AND SMART AT THE SAME TIME, BUT I REALLY REALLY ADMIRE THE STORYLE. THIS IS FELY ONE OF THE BT CLASSIC FILMS I’VE EVER SEEN. NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT.MY RATG IS ***** OUT OF ***** BEE THIS MOVIE STILL FEELS H AND ORIGAL EVEN AFTER ALMOST 8 S. NOW, THAT’S A REAL CLASSIC! #THE L OF THE GAME#JEAN RENOIR#ENCH CEMA#ROPEAN CEMA#CLASSIC FILM#REVIEW FILM#FILM REVIEW#POJOK SEMA#ABIYASHAPOJOKSEMAFOLLOWMETROPOLITAN (1990)I DON’T THK I’VE HEARD ABOUT THIS FILM BEFORE, AND AT FIRST, I THOUGHT THIS WAS GOG TO BE SIAR AS BEFORE SUNRISE, AS TAKG ONE SGLE EVENG. BUT AFTER 5 MUT OR SO, I REALIZED METROPOLAN IS A PLETELY DIFFERENT MOVIE. AND TURNED OUT, WAS A GOOD THG!THIS MOVIE IS FELY NOT EVERYONE’S CUP OF TEA BEE DON’T HAVE A CLEAR PLOT. IT’S ABOUT SOME RANDOM RICH KIDS MEETG EVERY NIGHT DURG THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY AND TALKG ABOUT ANYTHG, OM THE LATT GOSSIPS TO THE NEXT DANC, ABOUT PHILOSOPHY, AND EVEN ABOUT JANE ATEN. IN MY OWN WORDS, METROPOLAN IS THE GROUP VERSN OF BEFORE SUNRISE. BUT, ON ANOTHER NOTE, METROPOLAN IS A GREAT FILM TO STUDY CHARACTERS BEE ALL THE CHARACTERS (EVEN THE SUPPORTG ON) ARE VERY DISTCTIVE. THOUGH THE CHANCE TO TURN THIS FILM TO DRAMA WH PLOT TWISTS WAS WI OPEN, THERE’S NO SUCH THG, EXCEPT THE LAST 10 MUT OR SO TOWARDS THE ENDG. INSTEAD, THIS MOVIE SHOWS THE LIFE OF BOURGEOISIE AND THEIR SECURI OF BEG THE RICH KIDS TOWN—EXCEPT TOM. AND THE ROMANCE IS SO SUBTLE, THAT DON’T BEE THE CENTER OF THE ATTENTN OF THIS MOVIE. AFTER WATCHG THIS, MY MD WENT TO MY DNER WH ANDRE (1981) ANOTHER MIMALIST FILM WHICH I NEED TO RE-WATCH AGA. BOTH FILMS N BE PHILOSOPHIL AND TO BE HONT, THERE WERE FEW SCEN WHERE I GOT BLANK BEE I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE TALKG ABOUT. I BELIEVE THE FILM DIDN’T MEAN TO BE PRETENT OR SNOBBISH, WAS JT MY MD JT ULDN’T GRASP THE TOPIC OF THEIR NVERSATNS. AMONG THE 8 CENTRAL CHARACTERS—NICK, TOM, FRED, CHARLIE, JANE, SALLY, AUDREY, AND CYNTHIA—MY FAVORE IS NICK. CYNTHIA SPISED NICK FOR SAYG BAD THGS ABOUT RICK—A RICH, SPOILED, AND WOMANIZER GUY—YET, I FOUND HIS TERACTN WH TOM IS EPER THAN WH THE OTHERS THE GROUP. NICK IS ALSO BEG THE CYNIL ONE, ALWAYS HAS THIS VIEW OF HIS CIRCLE OF IENDS OR OTHER PEOPLE. THERE’S JT SOMETHG ABOUT HIM THAT DREW ME. WHEN HIS SCREEN TIME END, I DIDN’T WANT HIM TO GO. BUT, THEN, THE FILM FOCED MORE ON THE RELATNSHIP BETWEEN TOM AND CHARLIE—WHICH I FOUND ANNOYG AT FIRST BEE HOW PRECISE AND HIS KNOW--ALL ATTU. I ME TO ADMIRE HIM. AND ONCE THE HOLIDAY IS OVER AND THEY RETURNED TO THEIR REAL LIV, I FOUND MYSELF ROOTG FOR TOM, AUDREY, NICK, AND CHARLIE. IN MY OPN, AMONG 8 PEOPLE THE GROUP, THEIRS—OR AT LEAST TOM, CHARLIE, AND AUDREY—WILL BE THE ON WHO STAY TOUCH AND BE IENDS FOR LIFE.AGA, THIS IS A GREAT MOVIE TO STUDY ABOUT CHARACTERS AND TO THOSE LOOKG FOR PLOT-DRIVEN FILM IS UNLIKELY WILL FD HERE. PERSONALLY, I NEED TO WATCH THIS FILM AGA TO FULLY UNRSTAND ABOUT SOME OF THEIR NVERSATNS, JT LIKE I EXPERIENCED AFTER WATCHG MY DNER WH ANDRE. BUT, THIS IS FOR SURE AND WHOUT A DOUBT, A CLASSIC AND GREAT MOVIE ON S OWN MER.MY RATG IS **** OUT OF ***** BEE I KNOW, I WILL REVIS THIS MOVIE THE FUTURE FOR REFERENCE. I DIDN’T GIVE ***** BEE THERE WERE JT SOME NVERSATNS THAT I DIDN’T UNRSTAND, TH, AFFECTED MY VIEW OF THIS WHOLE FILM. IT’S STILL A GREAT PICTURE, NOHELS.#METROPOLAN#90S FILM#POJOK SEMA#REVIEW FILM#FILM REVIEW#ABIYASHA#WILT STILLMANPOJOKSEMAFOLLOWI AM NOT YOUR NEGRO (2016)I AM NOT A DOCUMENTARY GEEK. I DON’T EVEN REMEMBER HOW MANY DOCUMENTARY MOVI I HAVE WATCHED THE PAST FIVE YEARS. I MIGHT EVEN BE ABLE TO UNT WH ONE HAND. BUT, I WAS TRIGUED BY THIS PARTICULAR DOCUMENTARY SIMPLY BEE ’S BASED ON UNFISHED WORK OF JAM BALDW ABOUT HIS THREE IENDS, WHO WERE ASSASSATED DURG THE PERD OF CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT: MEDGAR EVERS, MART LUTHER KG, JR, AND MALLM X. I’VE ONLY READ GVANNI’S ROOM, BUT I’VE READ MANY ARTICL ABOUT JAM BALDW AND HOW HE FIED BEG PIGEONHOLED FOR HIS RACE. I READ SOMEWHERE THAT HE EVEN GOT SLD BY HIS OWN MUNY. BUT, THIS DOCUMENTARY ISN’T ABOUT HIM, BUT REALLY ABOUT HIS THREE IENDS, HIS VIEW ABOUT HOW AMERIN ERNMENTS AND WHE AMERIN PEOPLE TREATED BLACK PEOPLE. SOME SCEN THIS FILM ARE WAY TOO BTAL MY OPN, THAT I ALMOST DIDN’T BELIEVE HAPPENED REAL LIFE. IT WAS THE SAME FEELG I GOT WHEN I WATCHED THE ACT OF KILLG, A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT GENOCI INDONIA THE 60S. I WAS SICK TO MY STOMACH THAT HUMAN ULD DO SUCH THGS TO ANOTHER HUMAN. THIS MOVIE GAVE ME AN UNRSTANDG OF WHY THE ELECTN OF OBAMA AS A PRINT WAS HISTORIL FOR BLACK PEOPLE BEE 50 YEARS BEFORE, WAS SOMETHG UNIMAGABLE. AMERI CLEARLY STILL HAS HOMEWORK TO DO WHEN TO RACISM. WHEN OBAMA WON THE ELECTN, MANY PEOPLE BELIEVE WOULD BE A TURNG POT. IN A WAY IS, BUT SO MANY WAYS, SADLY, WASN’T THE SE. THIS DOCUMENTARY SHOWED ME THAT AMERI ISN’T REALLY A LAND OF EEDOM, BEE BLACK PEOPLE STILL TREATED UNFAIRLY. MY RATG OF THIS MOVIE IS ***** OUT OF ***** BEE AS SOMEONE WHO DON’T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE HISTORY OF BLACK PEOPLE AMERI, THIS MOVIE OPENED MY EY TO . UNFORTUNATELY, WHAT HAPPENED THE 50S AND 60S, ULD BE REPEATED NOW JUDGG OM THE CURRENT POLIL SUATN THE STAT. I REALLY SHOULD WATCH MORE DOCUMENTARY BEE THIS ONE IS REALLY GOOD. #I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO#DOCUMENTARY#JAM BALDW#POJOK SEMA#REVIEW FILM#FILM REVIEW#ABIYASHAPOJOKSEMAFOLLOWDARK BLUE WORLD (2001)THIS MOVIE GAVE ME NEW RMATN ABOUT WORLD WAR II. THE FACT THAT 2430 PILOTS OM CZECHOSLOVAKIA WENT TO ENGLAND AND HELPED RAF DURG THE WAR IS SOMETHG NEW FOR ME. I DIDN’T REALLY EXPECT ANYTHG BEFORE WATCHG THIS FILM, BUT TURNED OUT, I ENJOYED VERY MUCH. I ALSO LEARNED THAT THE PILOTS WERE JAILED UNR THE MUNIST REGIME, TH, CREATED A STORYLE THAT SUCCEED PUTTG EMOTNAL PUNCH FOR ME.STORY-WISE, THIS MOVIE HAD SOME MOMENTS TO TURN TO TYPIL HOLLYWOOD-CLICHé, BUT FORTUNATELY, THAT WASN’T THE SE. THOUGH THE LOVE STORY BETWEEN SLáMA, KAREL, AND SAN REMD ME OF RAFE, DANNY, AND EVELYN OF PEARL HARBOR—AND THE TWO FILMS WERE RELEASED THE SAME YEAR— MY OPN, DARK BLUE WORLD IS LS DRAMATIC AND FEELS MORE REAL. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS MOVIE IS THAT THE ROMANCE DON’T OVERSHADOW THE STORY OF THE PILOTS AND THEIR LIV ENGLAND. THE TRATN OF LEARNG A NEW LANGUAGE AND THEIR SMALL CIRCLE OF IENDS WERE BEG HIGHLIGHTED THIS FILM. THE AIR BATTLE SEQUENCE IS THE ONE THAT MAK THIS FILM STAND OUT. THOUGH RELEASED THREE DIFFERENT ERAS, THE AIR SEQUENCE DARK BLUE WORLD REMD ME OF THE SAME SEQUENCE DUNKIRK (2017) AND WGS (1927). I LOVE THE ENDG OF THIS FILM. IT N BE OVERLY DRAMATIC, BUT WASN’T. EVERYTHG FALLS THE RIGHT PROPORTN. KAREL’S HEROIC ACT FOR SAVG SLáMA AND THEN THE DISAPPOTMENT OF FDG SLáMA’S DOG HAD ALREADY BEEN CLAIMED BY THE SON OF HIS FORMER LOVER, WHO THOUGHT HE WAS AD … FOR ME IS REALLY HEARTBREAKG. AND THEN THE FAL SCENE—WHICH I FOUND REALLY BRILLIANT—I WAS WEEPG. THE BETY OF KAREL AND SLáMA’S IENDSHIP IS PICTED BETIFULLY THAT FAL SCENE.MY RATG IS **** OUT OF ***** BEE I BELIEVE, ADDG 10 OR 15 MORE MUT WILL MAKE ME GIVE 5 FULL STARS. I DON’T KNOW, I FEEL LIKE THIS MOVIE NEEDS FEW MORE ADDNAL SCEN TO MAKE PERFECT. BUT NOHELS, THIS IS STILL A VERY GOOD MOVIE.#DARKBLUEWORLD#ROPEAN CEMA#POJOK SEMA#REVIEW FILM#FILM REVIEW#ABIYASHA#WORLD WAR II#WAR FILMPOJOKSEMAFOLLOWPHANTON THREAD (2017)PHANTOM THREAD IS A NOT A UAL MOVIE. IT’S EHER YOU LOVE OR HATE . EVEN JENNIFER LAWRENCE ONLY MANAGED 3 MUT OF . BUT, MY OPN, THE GREATNS AND BETY OF THIS MOVIE DON’T LAY ON THE SURFACE. THIS IS THE KD OF MOVIE WHERE YOU N ANALYZE EVERY SCENE AND FORM YOUR OWN THEORY AS TO WHY. PHANTOM THREAD IS A FEAST FOR THE EY, EARS, AND SOUL.I DON’T KNOW IF I N FORM WORDS LONG ENOUGH TO SCRIBE THIS FILM BEE WHEN I FISHED WATCHG , I WAS AWE. SUCH A GEO FILM! THE CLOTH PLAY IMPORTANT ROLE AS IS ABOUT A FASHN SIGNER, BUT THE BT THG ABOUT THIS FILM IS THE RELATNSHIP BETWEEN ALMA AND REYNOLD. SOME PEOPLE SEE AS BIZARRE OR EVEN TOXIC, BUT I SEE AS A BETIFUL RELATNSHIP. REYNOLD WOODCK IS THE TYPE OF PERSON YOU DISLIKE EASILY BEE OF HIS LD AND TOUGH FAçA, AND DANIEL DAY-LEWIS PLAYED HIM SUCH WAY THAT YOU KNOW WHY THIS MAN HAS WON 3 OSRS. HE HABED THE ROLE OF REYNOLD LIKE GLOV. KNOWG HOW METHODIL HE IS AS AN ACTOR AND PREPARED A YEAR BEFORE SHOOTG THIS FILM, I’M NOT SURPRISED ONE B. REYNOLD AND ALMA’S RELATNSHIP IS ONE OF A KD AND AS I SAID PREVLY AN UNUAL ONE. HE FOUND HIS MATCH ON ALMA. ALMA IS STRONG WILLED, DON’T GIVE UP EASILY, AND AS TOUGH AS HIM, THOUGH SHE N APPEAR NAïVE. IF CYRIL WAS THE ONLY WHO N SLOW HIM DOWN WH HIS WORK, HE FOUND ALMA AS WELL. I JT FOUND THEIR RELATNSHIP IS BETIFUL. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS MOVIE IS THE WAY PL THOMAS ANRSON UTILIZED THE SOUND CERTA SCEN, AS THE BREAKFAST SCENE WHERE REYNOLD HAT ANY NOISE. AND THEN THE SRE! IT WASN’T TOO ORCHTRA-Y, YET FS THE MOOD OF THE MOVIE PERFECTLY. ACTG ALONGSI DANIEL DAY-LEWIS SHOULD BE A TERRIFYG EXPERIENCE, YET, VICKY KRIEPS HELD HER NERVE EVERY SCENE SHE HAD WH THE LEGEND, PARTICULARLY THE DNER SCENE.THAT SCENE IS PROBABLY MY FAVORE THE MOVIE BEE HOW TENSE IS AND HOW ALMA AND REYNOLD DIDN’T WANT TO LOSE ANY ARGUMENT. ESPECIALLY THIS PARTICULAR LE WHEN ALMA SAID “I’M WAG FOR YOU,” TO WHICH REYNOLD REPLIED, “WAG FOR WHAT?” IT’S SUCH A CLEVER LE. I DON’T KNOW WHY, BUT ALMA KNEW ALL ALONG THAT SHE WAS JT A PROPERTY.VICKY KRIEPS SHOULD BE NSIRED FOR BT ACTRS BEE MATCHG DANIEL DAY-LEWIS CLEARLY WASN’T AN EASY TASK. AND LLEY MANVILLE! I’M GLAD SHE GOT NOMATED FOR THE OSR BEE SHE WAS NTROLLED EAK AND AS LD AS HER BROTHER. MAYBE THAT’S THE REASON WHY SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO N SLOW REYNOLD DOWN.AS I SAID PREVLY, THIS MOVIE ISN’T EVERYONE’S CUP OF TEA, BUT IF YOU REALLY LOOK FOR SOMETHG DIFFERENT, A TE ART CEMA, THEN LOOK NO FURTHER. THIS REALLY IS A GEO FILM. MY RATG IS ***** OUT OF ***** BEE THIS MOVIE IS DIFFERENT, SUBTLE, BUT FULL OF BETY AND GRACE. EVERY ASPECT THIS MOVIE SCREAMS ART AT THE HIGHT FORM. #PHANTOM THREAD#DANIELDAYLEWIS#VICKYKRIEPS#LLEYMANVILLE#PLTHOMASANRSON#POJOKSEMA#REVIEW FILM#FILM REVIEW#ABIYASHAPOJOKSEMAFOLLOWELEVATOR TO THE GALLOWS (1958)THE CLOSE-UP SHOT OF JEANNE MORE OPENED THIS MOVIE, BEFORE MRICE RO APPEARED AND WE ARE SHOWN THEY WERE TALKG TO EACH OTHER ON THE PHONE. SLOWLY, THE SOUND OF TMPET FILLED OUR EARS AND THE SHOT SLOWLY FAD OUT WHILE MILE DAVIS’S POSN BEME CLEARER. WHAT AN OPENG!I’M NOT FAIAR WH LOUISE MALLE’S WORKS BUT MY DNER WH ANDRE (1981) WHICH BEE ONE OF MY FAVORE MOVI BEE ’S STAGE-LIKE SETTG AND THE LIMED TIME RANGE. FROM HIS WIKIPEDIA PAGE, THIS IS ACTUALLY HIS FIRST FEATURE MOVIE, ADAPTED OM A NOVEL BY NöEL CALEF, WHICH WAS PUBLISHED 1956. WOW! I ALSO DON’T KNOW MUCH ABOUT CEMA HISTORY AND HOW MANY ERAS WERE THERE, BUT THIS MOVIE, ALONGSI HIROSHIMA, MON AMOUR, WERE EMED AS THE FIRST MOVI THE FRENCH NEW WAV ERA. WHAT I KNOW IS, THIS MOVIE IS BRILLIANT. EVERY LTLE SCENE SERV PURPOSE. NO SCEN WERE WASTED. THE STORY IS ALSO VERY SIMPLE. JULIEN (MRICE RO) WORKS FOR SIMON CARALA, BUT HE HAD AN AFFAIR WH SIMON’S WIFE, FLORENCE (JEANNE MORE) THEN, THEY PLOTTED SIMON’S MURR TO BE TOGETHER. THE PLAN WAS GOG SMOOTH AFTER JULIEN KILLED SIMON AND STAGED AS A SUICI, BUT WHEN HE REALIZED HE LEFT A CLUE TO HIS CRIME, EVERYTHG STARTED TO GO WRONG. ONE OF MY FAV SCEN IS THIS:I DON’T KNOW WHETHER THIS SCENE IS THE NOVEL OR NOT, BUT I FOUND THIS SCENE TO BE BRILLIANT. JULIEN DIDN’T PE EASILY, BUT THE LIFT STOPPED THE MIDDLE SO HE ULDN’T GET OUT IS SIMPLY MAGNIFICENT. THE SCENE JUMPED OM JULIEN TO FLORENCE WHO WANRED ALONE AT NIGHT, OM BARS TO BARS JT TO LOOK FOR JULIEN. FROM JULIEN TO VéRONIQUE AND LOUIS, A YOUNG UPLE WHO STOLE JULIEN’S R, AND THEN, THEY VOLVED A MURR OF A GERMAN UPLE. THE WHOLE FILM ONLY REVOLV AROUND THE 4 PEOPLE, BUT THE WAY LOUIS MALLE SHOT EVERY SCENE IS JT AMAZG. AS IF THE GEO BLACK AND WHE WERE NOT ENOUGH TO GIVE A SOMBER ATMOSPHERE, THIS FILM HAS THE DACY TO SERT MIL DAVIS’S POSN, MAKG THIS MOVIE IS NOT ONLY PLEASANT TO THE EY, BUT ALSO TO THE EARS. THE ENDG WAS THE BT! THOUGH SOMEHOW I FELT THERE ULD’VE BEEN MORE, BUT WAS PERFECT. AFTER WATCHG THIS MOVIE, I WAS REMD BY PARIS BLU (1961) A FILM SET ALSO PARIS, WH PL NEWMAN, SIDNEY POIER, AND JOANNE WOODWARD. ASI OM G PARIS AS A BACKGROUND, BOTH FILMS ALSO ED JAZZ POSNS, MIL DAVIS FOR THIS MOVIE AND LOUIS ARMSTRONG FOR PARIS BLU. THOUGH THEY’RE VERY DIFFERENT PICTUR, I JT ULDN’T HELP TO THK PARIS BLU AND ELEVATOR TO THE GALLOWS ARE LIKE TWO SISTERS. ACTG WISE, JEANNE MORE REALLY ACTED OM HER FACIAL EXPRSN AND HER BODY LANGUAGE. WHEN SHE WAS WALKG AROUND PARIS, HER WHOLE BODY RADIATED LONELS, TRATN, AND HOPE. AS FOR MRICE RO, HIS HANDSOME FACE REALLY MASKED THE VIL SI. WHO WAS ACTUALLY THE EVIL ONE, JULIEN OR FLORENCE? HARD TO TELL.EVERY ELEMENT OF THIS MOVIE (MIC, CEMATOGRAPHY, LIGHTNG, AND THE SCRIPT) IS JT SUPERB. THIS IS REALLY TYPIL EUROPEAN CEMA WHEN NOT MANY THGS HAPPEN, YET EVERYTHG HAPPENS. I NEED TO DIG OUT ANY OTHER FRENCH CLASSIC CEMAS OM TFFT AND GODDARD.MY RATG IS ***** OUT OF ***** BEE I LOVE EVERY ASPECT OF THIS MOVIE. SIMPLE, YET VERY WELL EXECUTED.#ELEVATOR TO THE GALLOWS#LOUIS MALLE#JEANNE MORE#MRICE RO#ENCH CEMA#ROPEAN CEMA#ENCH NEW WAVE#CLASSIC FILM#POJOK SEMA#ABIYASHA#FILM REVIEWPOJOKSEMAFOLLOWNEWNESS (2017)LIKE CRAZY IS ONE OF MY FAVORE FILMS BEE ALS WH LONG DISTANCE RELATNSHIPS, SOMETHG I WAS FAIAR WH WHEN I FIRST SAW . AND THAT MOVIE BROUGHT MY ATTENTN TO ANTON YELCH (MAY HIS SOUL RT PEACE) AND FELICY JON. AS FOR NEWNS, I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THIS MOVIE BEFORE YTERDAY WHEN I STUMBLED UPON AND CID TO GIVE A TRY. I DIDN’T KNOW DRAKE DOREM HELMED LIKE CRAZY, IF I HAD KNOWN BEFORE I WOULD HAVE WATCHED RIGHT AWAY. THE PREMISE LOOKED PROMISG BUT I DIDN’T SET ANY EXPECTATN. AND BOY, THIS MOVIE REALLY BLEW ME AWAY!FROM THE SURFACE, NEWNS IS ALMOST SIAR TO WEEKEND, WHICH IS ONE OF MY FAVORE FILMS EVER. THE STORY OF A HOOK-UP TURNED TO SOMETHG EMOTNALLY EPER IS TRIGUG AND WEEKEND HANDLED EXCEPTNALLY WELL, EVEN THOUGH NEWNS TACKLED THE RELATNSHIP ISSU EPER THAN WEEKEND. NEWNS MAY AS WELL HAVE ANOTHER TLE LLED NOWNS BEE REALLY PICTS THE CURRENT LANDSPE OF DATG. THOUGH I’M NOT A DATG APPS ER AND NOT FAIAR AS HOW WORKS OR THE ETIQUETT OF , THIS MOVIE STILL GAVE ME SOMETHG RARE. JT AS 5 TO 7 (ANOTHER MOVIE STARRG ANTON YELCH) NEWNS CHALLENGED MY VIEWS ABOUT OPEN RELATNSHIPS PARTICULAR AND RELATNSHIP GENERAL. THOUGH THE CHARACTERIZATN OF GABI IS A B NROTIC ( DAWNED ON ME HER CHARACTER REMD ME OF PENELOPE CZ’S MARIA ELENA VICKY CRISTA BARCELONA, WHICH IS FUNNY BEE GABI IS OM BARCELONA) AND N BE TIRG TO WATCH AS SHE ALWAYS LOOKS FOR NEWNS, I REALLY THK HER CHARACTER REPRENTED ALL OF A WAY OR ANOTHER. SHE ALWAYS NONTED MART TO BE TTHFUL, YET, SHE DIDN’T SEEM TO FOLLOW HER OWN L WHEN LARRY GAVE HIM A NECKLACE. MART, ON THE OTHER SI, HAS A BAGGAGE EVERYONE HAS: A PAST. IN MY OPN, HIS DATG HAB WAS THE RULT OF HIS FAILED MARRIAGE. THEIR RELATNSHIPS ALSO SHOWED ME, THAT HONTY IS A AGILE THG. GABI WANTED MART TO TELL HER EVERYTHG BEE THAT’S WHAT UPL DO, BUT MART THOUGHT HIS PAST WASN’T IMPORTANT FACTOR THEIR RELATNSHIPS. AND DON’T MATTER HOW UPL VOW TO BE HONT TO EACH OTHER, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SOMETHG THEY N’T SHARE. WE HAVE SECRETS WE JT N’T SHARE. THIS MOVIE ALSO SHOWED ME, YOU N ALWAYS FD FORT WHEN YOU’RE DISTRGHT, BASILLY AT EVERYTHG. YOU NEVER THK TWICE ABOUT THE NSEQUENC AS LONG AS YOU FD WHAT YOU WANT. IN NEWNS, ’S GABI AND MART’S RELATNSHIPS. THEY CID TO START A RELATNSHIP WHOUT REALLY GETTG TO KNOW EACH OTHER. GABI DIDN’T EVEN KNOW MART’S MOTHER HAD MENTIA AND HIS SISTER DIED AND THE SETTLEMENT MONEY WAS ED TO PAY HIS TN. I SENSED MART’S GUILT AND MAYBE, HIS WAY TO CLOSE OFF THAT GUILT WAS BY NOT TALKG ABOUT . AND THEN, GABI RAN TO LARRY AS A TEMPORARY FORT. WHEN SHE REALIZED HOW DIFFERENT THEY WERE, SHE JT RAN AWAY AGA. I SEE GABI AS THE SECURE ONE BETWEEN HER AND MART, AND HER SECURY EXPLAED HER HYSTERIA ABOUT ALMOST EVERYTHG. THE ENDG, TO ME IS ONE OF THE MOST REALISTIC ENDG I’VE EVER SEEN. THEIR WILLGNS TO ACCEPT BOREDOM AS PART OF RELATNSHIP IS THE RULT OF DISAPPOTMENTS OF ALWAYS LOOKG FOR NEWNS.ONE OF THE THGS THAT I REALLY LOVE ABOUT THIS MOVIE IS HOW DRAKE DOREM SHOT SOME SCEN AS IF WE WERE PEEKG TO MART AND GABI’S LIV. IT GAVE THE SENSE OF RAWNS AND ALSO TIMACY. I REALLY DIDN’T EXPECT MUCH WHEN I WATCHED THE TRAILER, BUT EVEN BEFORE THE CRED ROLLED, I KNEW THIS IS ONE OF THOSE RARE MOVI I’M WILLG TO WATCH MORE THAN ONCE AND I WILL REVIS THE FUTURE. IT LEFT A CLEAR AND EP MARK FOR ME, THAT I STILL THK ABOUT EVERY STAGE OF THEIR RELATNSHIPS LONG AFTER THE MOVIE FISHED. NICHOLAS HOULT AND LAIA COSTA WERE PERFECT, AS THEIR CHEMISTRY JT CLICKED OM THE FIRST MOMENT THEY MET. AND THANKS TO THIS MOVIE, I JT REALIZED HOW GEO NICHOLAS HOULT IS. I’D NEVER REALLY PAID ATTENTN MUCH TO HIM, BUT THANKS TO SO MANY CLOSE-UP SHOTS, THIS MOVIE SHOWED ME WHAT A GREAT LOOKG MAN HE IS. AND HOW SIAR HIS FACE IS TO SAM CLAFL. NOW, A MOVIE WH THE TWO WILL FELY A DREAM!MY RATG IS ***** OUT OF ***** BEE ’S RARE A MOVIE LEFT ME NTEMPLATIVE AND GOT ME QUTNG ABOUT MY OWN VIEW ABOUT RELATNSHIPS.#NEWNS#DRAKE DOREM#NICHOLAS HOULT#LAIA COSTA#INDIE FILM#RELATNSHIPS#DRAMA#POJOK SEMA#ABIYASHA#FILM REVIEWPOJOKSEMAFOLLOWTOM OF FINLAND (2017)I DON’T THK ’S AN EXAGGERATN BY SAYG 2017 WAS ONE OF THE BT YEARS FOR GAY THEMED FILMS. AFTER MOONLIGHT WON BT PICTURE AT OSR, WAS LIKE PAVG THE WAY FOR MORE GAY THEMED MOVI WITH QUALY. CALL ME BY YOUR NAME, BEACH RATS, GOD’S OWN COUNTRY, BPM, AND AFTER WATCHG TOM OF FLAND, I HAVE NO DOUBT TO PUT THIS MOVIE ON THE SAME LEAGUE OF THE OTHER GAY THEMED FILMS.TOM OF FLAND WAS FLAND’S THIS YEAR’S OSR SUBMISSN FOR BT FOREIGN FILM, BUT WAS NOT NOMATED. I WASN’T (AND STILL IS) NOT FAIAR WH TOO LAAKSONEN OR HIS HOMOEROTIC ART, BUT THIS MOVIE REALLY PUT ME THAT STATE OF CURNS. I WATCHED THIS MOVIE RIGHT AFTER FAL PORTRA, WHOUT REALIZG THAT I WAS WATCHG TWO FILMS ABOUT ARTIST! THOUGH THEIR SIARY ENDS THERE, TOO SPIRED ME MORE THAN GIAETTI.TOM OF FLAND TOLD THE STORY OF TOO LAAKSONEN, A WAR VETERAN WHO SUFFERED OM PTSD AND FOUND SOLACE SKETCHG. I’M NOT GOG TO REVEAL THE STORY LE OR THE TAIL OF EVERY SCENE—BEE THIS MOVIE IS BETTER TO BE EXPERIENCED WHOUT READG ANY SYNOPSIS—BUT I WILL UNRLE THE IMPORTANCE OF HIS ART AND WHY SPIRED ME.TOO WAS A TALENTED MAN. THERE WAS NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT. BUT, WHAT’S THE E OF WHEN YOU N’T EVEN SHOW ? TOO LIVED WHEN HOMOSEXUALY WAS STILL SEEN AS TABOO FLAND. THOUGH HE HAD A SMALL GAY MUNY—THANKS TO HIS FORMER PTA THE ARMY, HEIKKI—WHERE HE N SHOW HIS TALENT, WASN’T LONG BEFORE THE GATHERG GOT RAID AND HE WENT BACK TO SQUARE ONE. HE KEPT ON DRAWG AND AN OPPORTUNY FALLY ME TO HIM THE UNED STAT. HE WAS WELL-KNOWN AS TOM OF FLAND, AND HIS HOMOEROTIC ART WAS WORSHIPPED THE GAY MUNY AND THOUGH I WASN’T SURE, HIS ARTS PROBABLY CREATG A LEATHER MUNY AMONG GAY PEOPLE. THOUGH HE FOUND HIS SPIRATNS MALY MEN WHO WORE SPECIFIC CLOTHG (UNIFORM, LEATHER JACKETS) WAS HIS FIRST SPIRATN, A RSIAN SOLDIER HE KILLED, THAT REALLY MOVED ME. HE TURNED HIS TRMA TO ART, AND THAT’S WHAT REAL ARTISTS DO. THEY CREATE ART EVEN WHEN THEIR REAL LIFE SUFFERS.WHAT SPIRED ME ABOUT TOM OF FLAND AND HIS JOURNEY OF BEG AN IN WH THE GAY MUNY IS THE WAY HIS ART WAS APPRECIATED. HIS OWN SISTER BELTLED HIS TALENT JT BEE HE CREATED HOMOEROTIC NTENTS, WHILE AROUND THE WORLD, HE GOT APPRECIATN AND WAS SEEN AS SOME SORT OF A HERO.THIS SCENE REALLY GOT TO ME BEE THE WAY KAIJA, TOO'S SISTER, SAID THE LE AS IF SHE WAS DISGTED BY WHAT HE DID.SO, WHY TOM OF FLAND SPIRED ME MORE THAN FAL PORTRA? BEE OF MY PREFERENCE WRG GAY THEMED STORI RATHER THAN STRAIGHT ON. TO SOME PEOPLE, MIGHT NOT MAKE DIFFERENCE, BUT TO ME, DO. I’M NOT SAYG THAT MY WRG IS NOT APPRECIATED—THOUGH NOT THE SAME LEVEL OF TOO— IS APPRECIATED, BUT IS STILL OVERLOOKED THE PUBLISHG WORLD. UNLS THE GAY CHARACTERS THAT STORY MARRI A WOMAN OR DI, THEN THERE’S A LTLE CHANCE THE MANCRIPT TO BE PUBLISHED INDONIA. THE PERSISTENCE OF TOO KEEP ON CREATG WHAT HE LOVED, REMD ME TO BE PERSISTENCE AS WELL WH MY WRG. I MIGHT NOT FD FAME THE WAY TOO DID, BUT MAK ME BELIEVE THAT MY STORI—HOPEFULLY— A WAY, WILL CHANGE SOMEONE’S LIFE. I REALLY LOVE THIS MOVIE FOR THE MSAGE THAT I RECEIVED, THOUGH I HAVE A DOUBT THAT I WILL WATCH AGA. BUT, ’S SPIRG NOHELS.MY RATG IS **** OUT OF ***** BEE WHAT THIS MOVIE DID TO ME.

IT FELT SO RAW, ARTSY, AND DOWN TO EARTH, WHILE MATAG THE 60S ATMOSPHERE SO PERFECTLY. THE STORY IS ACTUALLY VERY SIMPLE: AN ARTIST WANTED TO MAKE HIS FAL PATG AFTER HE ABANDONED FOR YEARS TO FOC ON HIS SCULPTG. THE WHOLE MOVIE IS REALLY ABOUT ALBERTO GIAETTI (GEOFEY RH) STGGLG TO FISH THE PORTRA OF JAM LORD (ARMIE HAMMER) WHO POSED FOR HIM. LORD WAS BAFFLED AT FIRST BY GIAETTI’S ABILY TO FOC ON THE PATG, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME, HE WAS DISTRACTED BY HIS SORT-OF-MISTRS, CAROLE. WHEN A DAY STRETCHED TO 3 WEEKS, LORD’S LIFE STARTED TO BE AFFECTED BEE HE KEPT ON POSTPONG HIS RETURN TO USA. THE SET MOSTLY WAS SI GIAETTI’S STUD, WHILE OCSNALLY SHOWED THE Fé WHERE GIAETTI UALLY EAT AND THE CEMETERY WHERE THEY TOOK A WALK AND TALK ABOUT PISSO AND ARTS. WHAT AMAZED ME WAS THE 60S ATMOSPHERE OF THIS MOVIE. THOUGH WASN’T REALLY SHOWN LIKE, SAY THE MAN OM U.N.C.L.E, BUT S PRENCE WAS SO STRONG THAT WAS HARD TO IGNORE . THERE WERE SOME UNSTEADY SHOTS, WHICH ACRDG TO MY PERSONAL OPN, WORKED AND ADD TO S RAWNS. AS FOR THE STORY SELF, FAL PORTRA REALLY SHOWED THE UGLY PART OF BEG AN ARTIST. A GREAT ARTIST LIKE GIAETTI ULDN’T BE FORCED TO FISH HIS WORKS. HE WORKED WHEN HE GOT SPIRATN, ADD THAT WH PERFECTNISM (HE NMNED THE FIRST PORTRAS WERE BAD AND HE EVEN BURNED SOME OF HIS OLD SKETCH!) THEN YOU KNOW HOW MSY HIS LIFE WAS. ONE OF THE GREAT THGS ABOUT THIS MOVIE IS STG GEOFEY RH AS GIAETTI. MAN, HE WAS SO PERFECT HIS ROLE, EVEN HIS PHYSILY IS CLOSE TO REAL GIAETTI. HE REALLY OWNED THE ROLE AND TOO BAD, THE MOVIE ISN’T RELEASED THE US YET. IF WAS RELEASED LAST YEAR, HE N REALLY BE A NTENR FOR THIS YEAR’S OSR. ARMIE HAMMER NTUED TO IMPRS ME WH HIS SUBTLE ACTG. THOUGH HE WASN’T GIVEN AS MANY EMOTNAL SCEN TO WORK ON LIKE THE ONE HE DID CALL ME BY YOUR NAME, I N REALLY SEE ARMIE DOG THIS KD OF MOVIE THE FUTURE. IT SEEMS HE REALLY FS TO EUROPEAN CEMA. THIS MOVIE IS FELY NOT FOR EVERYONE, AS NOT MANY THGS HAPPENED FAL PORTRA, BUT SOMEHOW, I ENJOYED SO MUCH! IT’S A FILM THAT NOT ONLY SHOWSED THE GEOFEY RH’S MASTERFUL ACTG, BUT ALSO TACKLED THE SI OF AN ARTIST HIS LAST YEARS. AS A BPIC, FAL PORTRA IS VERY UNUAL.MY RATG IS **** OUT OF ***** BEE OF RH’S ACTG AND ALSO THE RAWNS OF .

THOUGH I’M NOT A JOURNALIST, THE STORY OF THE POST REALLY RONATED WH ME, A STRANGE WAY. I’M NOT GONNA TALK ABOUT THE ACTG, BEE TOM HANKS AND MERYL STREEP ARE THE GIANTS OF ACTG, NOT TO MENTN TWO LEGENDS, SO TALKG ABOUT THEIR ACTG, TO ME PERSONALLY, WILL BE AN SULT TO THEIR LEGEND STAT.IF YOU HAVEN’T READ THIS MOVIE AND PLANNG ON WATCHG, PLEASE PREPARE ALL THE PRINT’S MEN AS A FOLLOW UP, BEE THE ENDG OF THE POST LKED TO THE MOVIE RELEASED 1976, STARRED DT HOFFMAN AND ROBERT REDFORD. I WASN’T HOOKED THE FIRST MUT OF THIS MOVIE, BUT AFTER MUT 20, I ULDN’T TAKE MY EY OFF THE MOVIE. I’M NOT REALLY A FAN OF POLIL FILM, BUT SOMETHG ABOUT THE POST REALLY HOOKED ME. THE FACT THAT SOME ELEMENTS OF THIS MOVIE N BE APPLIED INDONIA 2018, IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORE MOVI OF 2017. OKAY, LET ME GIVE YOU SOME IAS ABOUT CURRENT SUATN INDONIA. THE ERNMENT OF INDONIA IS TRYG TO PASS THE LAWS THAT WILL CRIMALIZE SAME-SEX RELATNSHIP, EXTRAMARAL SEX, AND ALSO OTHER LAWS THAT WILL PUT WOMEN AND CHILDREN DANGER OF BEG PROSECUTED. MOST OF INDONIAN CIZENS STILL VIEW HOMOSEXUALY AS SOMETHG ABNORMAL, A DISEASE, A MENTAL ILLNS, AND ’S CURABLE. THE MEDIA IS NOT DOG MUCH BETTER, AT LEAST THE MEDIA THAT IS WILY READ. THEY HELPED PROMOTG THE HATE FOR GAY PEOPLE, THAT WE REALLY ON THE BRK OF MOVG WAY BACKWARDS. SOME JUDG SUPREME COURT EVEN SID WH THE MAJORY OF THE PEOPLE, NOT TO MENTN THE ERNMENT OFFICIALS.

BUT, SCE I REALLY WANTED TO WATCH , I TRIED TO S STILL AND ENJOY THE MOVIE. DID I ENJOY ? NOT QUE AS ENJOYABLE AS FUNNY GIRL, BUT AT LEAST, NOW I N SAY “YEAH, I WATCHED A STAR IS BORN” IF SOMEONE ASKS ME, HAHAHA.WHAT N I SAY ABOUT A CLASSIC? IT DON’T REALLY MATTER, RIGHT?PERSONALLY, THIS MOVIE N BE CUT TO SHORTER VERSN AS THERE WERE SOME UNNECSARY SCEN. THE “BORN TNK” NUMBER WAS WAAAAAAY TOO LONG, WHOUT HAVG THE REAL PURPOSE OF THE STORY LE. IF THAT SCENE GOT CUT, I THK THE MOVIE WOULD DO JT WELL. BUT, SCE WE’RE TALKG ABOUT JUDY GARLAND AND ’S A MIL, I GUS THE PRODUCERS (OR THE STUD) WANTED TO SHOWSE HER TALENTS MORE THAN THE STORY LE SELF. THEN, THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN JAM MASON AND JUDY GARLAND WAS ALMOST VISIBLE BEE THIS IS MORE LIKE A ONE WOMAN FILM. THIS IS JUDY GARLAND’S MOVIE OM BEGNG TO END. JAM MASON, MY OPN IS MORE LIKE A SUPPORTG ACTOR THAN LEAD, EVEN THOUGH HIS CHARACTER IS THE REASON BEHD VICKI LTER’S ACTNS. JUDY GARLAND REALLY RRIED THIS MOVIE ON HER SHOULR, AND THOUGH SHE WAS PTIVATG, I ONLY RED FOR HER CHARACTER THE LAST ONE HOUR OF THE MOVIE. IF SHE’D WON THE OSR, HER OSR MOMENT WOULD BE THIS PARTICULAR SCENE:THIS WHOLE SCENE WAS REALLY GREAT MY OPN, BEE AFTER SHE BROKE DOWN THE DRSG ROOM, SHE HAD TO NTUE SHOOTG. SGG AND SG, WHILE HER HEART CRIED OUT. FROM THIS POT FORWARD, JUDY GARLAND REALLY SHOWED HER ABILY. SHE WAS AGILE, SHE WAS TRATED, SHE WAS HOPELS, SHE WAS HELPLS, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, SHE WAS TERMED TO STAY BY NORMAN’S SI, EVEN IF SHE HAD TO THROW HER REER OUT OF THE WDOW, BEE WHOUT NORMAN, SHE WAS NOTHG. WHAT I REALLY LOVE ABOUT THE MOVIE WAS THE PORTRAYAL OF PUBLIC FIGURE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A MOVIE ABOUT A STAR THAT CLOSE TO A STAR IS BORN, TERM OF HOW CLOSE IS TO REALY. IT WAS, IS, AND WILL ALWAYS BE RELEVANT. VICKI’S LIFE HAD ALWAYS BEEN SCTIZED, MOREOVER AFTER NORMAN WAS RELEASED OM JAIL AND DURG THE FUNERAL SCENE. WHAT ME TO MY MD WAS HOW HARD IS BEG A CELEBRY WHEN YOU REALLY HAVE TO FACE THE PUBLIC, WHEN ALL YOU REALLY WANT IS JT STAY AWAY OM PUBLIC. JT AS THE PICTURE ABOVE, PUBLIC FIGURE HAS TO LOCK UP THEIR FEELGS AND THEIR PROBLEMS AND BE READY FOR THE MERA. THAT’S A HELL OF TOUGH JOB!MY FAVORE MOMENT PROBABLY THIS NUMBER, SOMEWHERE THERE'S A SOMEONE:DURG THIS NUMBER JUDY GARLAND AND JAM MASON REALLY HAD FUN I N JT TELL OM THEIR BODY LANGUAGE. AND ’S PROBABLY THEIR ONLY SWEETT MOMENT THE FILM. I LOVE .AND ALSO THE MAN THAT GOT AWAY NUMBER. I DON’T KNOW HOW MANY TIM I HAVE LISTENED TO THIS SONG, EVEN LONG BEFORE I WATCHED THE MOVIE.

I WAS SKEPTIL WHEN SHE WON THE OSR, TYG WH KATHARE HEPBURN, AS THERE WERE MORS SHE VOTED FOR HERSELF. BUT AFTER WATCHG THE MOVIE, SHE REALLY SERVED THAT OSR. SHE PLAYED FANNY BRICE WH UNNIABLE CHARM, WH, AND CHARISMA, THAT I WILL FD A HARD TIME TO IMAGE ANOTHER ACTRS PLAYG HER ( SE HOLLYWOOD WANTED TO REMAKE THIS MOVIE, YOU KNOW, AFTER ALL SPIELBERG IS GOG TO REMAKE WT SI STORY) AND CLASSIC MOVI TEND TO BE OVER ACTG, THAT SOMETIM, ’S HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE THEIR CHARACTERS. BUT BARBRA WAS NATURAL, AS IF SHE WERE BORN TO PLAY THE ROLE. HER VOICE WAS POWERFUL, BELTG EVERY SONG (PECIALLY ON PEOPLE AND MY MAN) AND I WONR WHY SHE DIDN’T W TONY FOR THIS ROLE. ASI OM THE STORY LE THAT SEEMS WAY TOO LONG AND AFTER I READ A LTLE B ABOUT THE REAL STORY OF FANNY BRICE AND NICKY ARNSTE, THIS MOVIE FALLS TO HOLLYWOOD CLICHé, OF GLOSSG THE REAL EVENTS. I KNOW ’S A MOVIE, I KNOW HAD TO BE DRAMATIZED, BUT WHEN SO MANY FACTS WERE ALTERED, THEN THE SENSE OF THE STORY BE FICTNAL TO ME. IN FUNNY GIRL, I WON’T REMEMBER THE MOVIE AS ONE OF MY FAVOR, BUT I WILL REMEMBER BARBRA STREISAND AS FANNY BRICE. END OF DISCSN. FUNNY GIRL IS FELY ONE OF THE BT MILS E OM THE 60S. WILL WE EVER SEE THE TREND AGA? I DON’T THK SO, THOUGH I HOPE I WILL LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE THE REVIVAL OF MIL FILM, AS I LOVE MIL.

ABANDONED BY HIS MOTHER AND ALWAYS BEEN LOOKG FOR APPROVAL OM HIS MANDG FATHER, HE BEME A MAN OF NO AFFECTN. JOSH O’CONNOR’S PORTRAYAL OF JOHNNY SHOWED WHY HE GOT SO MUCH PRAISE FOR THIS MOVIE. IF I HAVE TO DRAW A PARALLEL, HIS IS SIAR TO HARRIS DICKSON’S FRANKIE BEACH RATS. BEFORE HE MET GHEHE, HIS WHOLE PERSONALY GAVE ME THE VIBE OF AN ASSHOLE. HIS CURT REMARKS AND HIS DIFFERENCE REALLY ANNOYED ME AT SOME POTS, AND THAT SHOWED HOW GREAT JOSH O’CONNOR’S ACTG IS. BUT, TO ME, THE REAL STAR OF THIS MOVIE IS ALEC SEREANU AS GHEHE. HE DIDN’T GET AS MANY L AS GHEHE, BUT WH THE LSER SCREEN TIME THAN JOSH O’CONNOR, HE MA THE BT OF . HIS FACIAL EXPRSNS REALLY SHOWED THE GREAT RANGE OF EMOTNS. FROM ANNOYED, CUR, ANGER, AND TENRNS. IT REMDS ME A B OF TIMOTHéE CHALAMET CALL ME BY YOUR NAME. THOUGH HE SEEMED OVERSHADOWED, TO ME HE’S THE REAL STAR OF THE MOVIE. GOD’S OWN COUNTRY IS THE GREAT EXAMPLE ABOUT CHARACTER’S VELOPMENT BEE I DON’T SEE MANY OF THAT A MOVIE, NOT AS SWIFT AND NATURAL AS JOHNNY. WHEN THEY MA LOVE THE FIRST TIME, WAS STILL FULL OF ANGER OM JONNY’S SI, BUT THE SEND TIME, HE LET GO OF HIS GUARDS BEE GHEHE REALLY PHED HIM TO . THAT PHYSIL NNECTN N BE BETIFUL AND TENR. GHEHE CHANGED HIM THE WAY HE HAD NEVER EXPECTED. THE SCEN AFTER THEIR NNECTN IS BUILT JT SHOWED THE REAL PERSONALY OF JOHNNY. HOW HIS MOTHER’S ABANDONMENT AFFECTED HIS WAY OF LIVG. THE MOST POWERFUL SCENE FOR ME IS NEAR THE END WHEN HE NFSED HIS FEELG FOR GHEHE. IF JOSH O’CONNOR WAS UP FOR OSR, WOULD BE HIS OSR MOMENT.AS WH OTHER BRISH FILMS THAT SET THE UNTRYSI, GOD’S OWN COUNTRY SPOILS WH THE VAST AND BETIFUL LANDSPE.

"Even as nversatns about sexualy and homosexualy were expandg the prs, gay materials only circulated on the g the mid-twentieth century. Most mastream discsn of homosexualy prented men as perverts or crimals; at bt, they were sad victims, " says Dr Jt Bengry, a history lecturer at London's Goldsmhs, and urse nvenor of the universy's Queer History MA programme.
"Men who wanted to fd gay materials uld do so pulp novels and unr-the-unter magaz, but none of this was mastream. However, the kds of physique magaz where Tom Of Fland's art was published had a wi distributn among gay men, surpassg by far the reach of activist publitns.

"The image of gay men that domated mastream reprentatn at this time was the 'pansy' or the 'sissy', " says Bengry. Tom Of Fland's art showed that men who sired other men uld be mascule, virile, and powerful – a rponse to a culture that so often told gay men they uld never be 'real men'. Mcl are so big that chts prove almost Olympian, mythologil meatheads that openly and unashamedly dulge behavur that was only whispered about, keen to enjoy the palpable homoeroticism felt by men who spent months and months together isolatn.

IT’S ABOUT SOME RANDOM RICH KIDS MEETG EVERY NIGHT DURG THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY AND TALKG ABOUT ANYTHG, OM THE LATT GOSSIPS TO THE NEXT DANC, ABOUT PHILOSOPHY, AND EVEN ABOUT JANE ATEN. IN MY OWN WORDS, METROPOLAN IS THE GROUP VERSN OF BEFORE SUNRISE. BUT, ON ANOTHER NOTE, METROPOLAN IS A GREAT FILM TO STUDY CHARACTERS BEE ALL THE CHARACTERS (EVEN THE SUPPORTG ON) ARE VERY DISTCTIVE. THOUGH THE CHANCE TO TURN THIS FILM TO DRAMA WH PLOT TWISTS WAS WI OPEN, THERE’S NO SUCH THG, EXCEPT THE LAST 10 MUT OR SO TOWARDS THE ENDG. INSTEAD, THIS MOVIE SHOWS THE LIFE OF BOURGEOISIE AND THEIR SECURI OF BEG THE RICH KIDS TOWN—EXCEPT TOM. AND THE ROMANCE IS SO SUBTLE, THAT DON’T BEE THE CENTER OF THE ATTENTN OF THIS MOVIE. AFTER WATCHG THIS, MY MD WENT TO MY DNER WH ANDRE (1981) ANOTHER MIMALIST FILM WHICH I NEED TO RE-WATCH AGA.

I BELIEVE THE FILM DIDN’T MEAN TO BE PRETENT OR SNOBBISH, WAS JT MY MD JT ULDN’T GRASP THE TOPIC OF THEIR NVERSATNS. AMONG THE 8 CENTRAL CHARACTERS—NICK, TOM, FRED, CHARLIE, JANE, SALLY, AUDREY, AND CYNTHIA—MY FAVORE IS NICK. CYNTHIA SPISED NICK FOR SAYG BAD THGS ABOUT RICK—A RICH, SPOILED, AND WOMANIZER GUY—YET, I FOUND HIS TERACTN WH TOM IS EPER THAN WH THE OTHERS THE GROUP.

WHEN OBAMA WON THE ELECTN, MANY PEOPLE BELIEVE WOULD BE A TURNG POT. IN A WAY IS, BUT SO MANY WAYS, SADLY, WASN’T THE SE.

REYNOLD WOODCK IS THE TYPE OF PERSON YOU DISLIKE EASILY BEE OF HIS LD AND TOUGH FAçA, AND DANIEL DAY-LEWIS PLAYED HIM SUCH WAY THAT YOU KNOW WHY THIS MAN HAS WON 3 OSRS. HE HABED THE ROLE OF REYNOLD LIKE GLOV. KNOWG HOW METHODIL HE IS AS AN ACTOR AND PREPARED A YEAR BEFORE SHOOTG THIS FILM, I’M NOT SURPRISED ONE B. REYNOLD AND ALMA’S RELATNSHIP IS ONE OF A KD AND AS I SAID PREVLY AN UNUAL ONE. HE FOUND HIS MATCH ON ALMA. ALMA IS STRONG WILLED, DON’T GIVE UP EASILY, AND AS TOUGH AS HIM, THOUGH SHE N APPEAR NAïVE. IF CYRIL WAS THE ONLY WHO N SLOW HIM DOWN WH HIS WORK, HE FOUND ALMA AS WELL. I JT FOUND THEIR RELATNSHIP IS BETIFUL. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS MOVIE IS THE WAY PL THOMAS ANRSON UTILIZED THE SOUND CERTA SCEN, AS THE BREAKFAST SCENE WHERE REYNOLD HAT ANY NOISE. AND THEN THE SRE! IT WASN’T TOO ORCHTRA-Y, YET FS THE MOOD OF THE MOVIE PERFECTLY. ACTG ALONGSI DANIEL DAY-LEWIS SHOULD BE A TERRIFYG EXPERIENCE, YET, VICKY KRIEPS HELD HER NERVE EVERY SCENE SHE HAD WH THE LEGEND, PARTICULARLY THE DNER SCENE.THAT SCENE IS PROBABLY MY FAVORE THE MOVIE BEE HOW TENSE IS AND HOW ALMA AND REYNOLD DIDN’T WANT TO LOSE ANY ARGUMENT. ESPECIALLY THIS PARTICULAR LE WHEN ALMA SAID “I’M WAG FOR YOU,” TO WHICH REYNOLD REPLIED, “WAG FOR WHAT?” IT’S SUCH A CLEVER LE. I DON’T KNOW WHY, BUT ALMA KNEW ALL ALONG THAT SHE WAS JT A PROPERTY.VICKY KRIEPS SHOULD BE NSIRED FOR BT ACTRS BEE MATCHG DANIEL DAY-LEWIS CLEARLY WASN’T AN EASY TASK. AND LLEY MANVILLE! I’M GLAD SHE GOT NOMATED FOR THE OSR BEE SHE WAS NTROLLED EAK AND AS LD AS HER BROTHER. MAYBE THAT’S THE REASON WHY SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO N SLOW REYNOLD DOWN.AS I SAID PREVLY, THIS MOVIE ISN’T EVERYONE’S CUP OF TEA, BUT IF YOU REALLY LOOK FOR SOMETHG DIFFERENT, A TE ART CEMA, THEN LOOK NO FURTHER. THIS REALLY IS A GEO FILM. MY RATG IS ***** OUT OF ***** BEE THIS MOVIE IS DIFFERENT, SUBTLE, BUT FULL OF BETY AND GRACE. EVERY ASPECT THIS MOVIE SCREAMS ART AT THE HIGHT FORM. #PHANTOM THREAD#DANIELDAYLEWIS#VICKYKRIEPS#LLEYMANVILLE#PLTHOMASANRSON#POJOKSEMA#REVIEW FILM#FILM REVIEW#ABIYASHAPOJOKSEMAFOLLOWELEVATOR TO THE GALLOWS (1958)THE CLOSE-UP SHOT OF JEANNE MORE OPENED THIS MOVIE, BEFORE MRICE RO APPEARED AND WE ARE SHOWN THEY WERE TALKG TO EACH OTHER ON THE PHONE. SLOWLY, THE SOUND OF TMPET FILLED OUR EARS AND THE SHOT SLOWLY FAD OUT WHILE MILE DAVIS’S POSN BEME CLEARER. WHAT AN OPENG!I’M NOT FAIAR WH LOUISE MALLE’S WORKS BUT MY DNER WH ANDRE (1981) WHICH BEE ONE OF MY FAVORE MOVI BEE ’S STAGE-LIKE SETTG AND THE LIMED TIME RANGE. FROM HIS WIKIPEDIA PAGE, THIS IS ACTUALLY HIS FIRST FEATURE MOVIE, ADAPTED OM A NOVEL BY NöEL CALEF, WHICH WAS PUBLISHED 1956. WOW! I ALSO DON’T KNOW MUCH ABOUT CEMA HISTORY AND HOW MANY ERAS WERE THERE, BUT THIS MOVIE, ALONGSI HIROSHIMA, MON AMOUR, WERE EMED AS THE FIRST MOVI THE FRENCH NEW WAV ERA. WHAT I KNOW IS, THIS MOVIE IS BRILLIANT. EVERY LTLE SCENE SERV PURPOSE. NO SCEN WERE WASTED. THE STORY IS ALSO VERY SIMPLE. JULIEN (MRICE RO) WORKS FOR SIMON CARALA, BUT HE HAD AN AFFAIR WH SIMON’S WIFE, FLORENCE (JEANNE MORE) THEN, THEY PLOTTED SIMON’S MURR TO BE TOGETHER. THE PLAN WAS GOG SMOOTH AFTER JULIEN KILLED SIMON AND STAGED AS A SUICI, BUT WHEN HE REALIZED HE LEFT A CLUE TO HIS CRIME, EVERYTHG STARTED TO GO WRONG. ONE OF MY FAV SCEN IS THIS:I DON’T KNOW WHETHER THIS SCENE IS THE NOVEL OR NOT, BUT I FOUND THIS SCENE TO BE BRILLIANT. JULIEN DIDN’T PE EASILY, BUT THE LIFT STOPPED THE MIDDLE SO HE ULDN’T GET OUT IS SIMPLY MAGNIFICENT. THE SCENE JUMPED OM JULIEN TO FLORENCE WHO WANRED ALONE AT NIGHT, OM BARS TO BARS JT TO LOOK FOR JULIEN. FROM JULIEN TO VéRONIQUE AND LOUIS, A YOUNG UPLE WHO STOLE JULIEN’S R, AND THEN, THEY VOLVED A MURR OF A GERMAN UPLE. THE WHOLE FILM ONLY REVOLV AROUND THE 4 PEOPLE, BUT THE WAY LOUIS MALLE SHOT EVERY SCENE IS JT AMAZG. AS IF THE GEO BLACK AND WHE WERE NOT ENOUGH TO GIVE A SOMBER ATMOSPHERE, THIS FILM HAS THE DACY TO SERT MIL DAVIS’S POSN, MAKG THIS MOVIE IS NOT ONLY PLEASANT TO THE EY, BUT ALSO TO THE EARS. THE ENDG WAS THE BT! THOUGH SOMEHOW I FELT THERE ULD’VE BEEN MORE, BUT WAS PERFECT. AFTER WATCHG THIS MOVIE, I WAS REMD BY PARIS BLU (1961) A FILM SET ALSO PARIS, WH PL NEWMAN, SIDNEY POIER, AND JOANNE WOODWARD. ASI OM G PARIS AS A BACKGROUND, BOTH FILMS ALSO ED JAZZ POSNS, MIL DAVIS FOR THIS MOVIE AND LOUIS ARMSTRONG FOR PARIS BLU. THOUGH THEY’RE VERY DIFFERENT PICTUR, I JT ULDN’T HELP TO THK PARIS BLU AND ELEVATOR TO THE GALLOWS ARE LIKE TWO SISTERS. ACTG WISE, JEANNE MORE REALLY ACTED OM HER FACIAL EXPRSN AND HER BODY LANGUAGE. WHEN SHE WAS WALKG AROUND PARIS, HER WHOLE BODY RADIATED LONELS, TRATN, AND HOPE. AS FOR MRICE RO, HIS HANDSOME FACE REALLY MASKED THE VIL SI. WHO WAS ACTUALLY THE EVIL ONE, JULIEN OR FLORENCE? HARD TO TELL.EVERY ELEMENT OF THIS MOVIE (MIC, CEMATOGRAPHY, LIGHTNG, AND THE SCRIPT) IS JT SUPERB. THIS IS REALLY TYPIL EUROPEAN CEMA WHEN NOT MANY THGS HAPPEN, YET EVERYTHG HAPPENS. I NEED TO DIG OUT ANY OTHER FRENCH CLASSIC CEMAS OM TFFT AND GODDARD.MY RATG IS ***** OUT OF ***** BEE I LOVE EVERY ASPECT OF THIS MOVIE.

AND THAT MOVIE BROUGHT MY ATTENTN TO ANTON YELCH (MAY HIS SOUL RT PEACE) AND FELICY JON. AS FOR NEWNS, I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THIS MOVIE BEFORE YTERDAY WHEN I STUMBLED UPON AND CID TO GIVE A TRY. I DIDN’T KNOW DRAKE DOREM HELMED LIKE CRAZY, IF I HAD KNOWN BEFORE I WOULD HAVE WATCHED RIGHT AWAY. THE PREMISE LOOKED PROMISG BUT I DIDN’T SET ANY EXPECTATN. AND BOY, THIS MOVIE REALLY BLEW ME AWAY!FROM THE SURFACE, NEWNS IS ALMOST SIAR TO WEEKEND, WHICH IS ONE OF MY FAVORE FILMS EVER. THE STORY OF A HOOK-UP TURNED TO SOMETHG EMOTNALLY EPER IS TRIGUG AND WEEKEND HANDLED EXCEPTNALLY WELL, EVEN THOUGH NEWNS TACKLED THE RELATNSHIP ISSU EPER THAN WEEKEND. NEWNS MAY AS WELL HAVE ANOTHER TLE LLED NOWNS BEE REALLY PICTS THE CURRENT LANDSPE OF DATG. THOUGH I’M NOT A DATG APPS ER AND NOT FAIAR AS HOW WORKS OR THE ETIQUETT OF , THIS MOVIE STILL GAVE ME SOMETHG RARE. JT AS 5 TO 7 (ANOTHER MOVIE STARRG ANTON YELCH) NEWNS CHALLENGED MY VIEWS ABOUT OPEN RELATNSHIPS PARTICULAR AND RELATNSHIP GENERAL. THOUGH THE CHARACTERIZATN OF GABI IS A B NROTIC ( DAWNED ON ME HER CHARACTER REMD ME OF PENELOPE CZ’S MARIA ELENA VICKY CRISTA BARCELONA, WHICH IS FUNNY BEE GABI IS OM BARCELONA) AND N BE TIRG TO WATCH AS SHE ALWAYS LOOKS FOR NEWNS, I REALLY THK HER CHARACTER REPRENTED ALL OF A WAY OR ANOTHER. SHE ALWAYS NONTED MART TO BE TTHFUL, YET, SHE DIDN’T SEEM TO FOLLOW HER OWN L WHEN LARRY GAVE HIM A NECKLACE. MART, ON THE OTHER SI, HAS A BAGGAGE EVERYONE HAS: A PAST. IN MY OPN, HIS DATG HAB WAS THE RULT OF HIS FAILED MARRIAGE. THEIR RELATNSHIPS ALSO SHOWED ME, THAT HONTY IS A AGILE THG. GABI WANTED MART TO TELL HER EVERYTHG BEE THAT’S WHAT UPL DO, BUT MART THOUGHT HIS PAST WASN’T IMPORTANT FACTOR THEIR RELATNSHIPS. AND DON’T MATTER HOW UPL VOW TO BE HONT TO EACH OTHER, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SOMETHG THEY N’T SHARE. WE HAVE SECRETS WE JT N’T SHARE. THIS MOVIE ALSO SHOWED ME, YOU N ALWAYS FD FORT WHEN YOU’RE DISTRGHT, BASILLY AT EVERYTHG. YOU NEVER THK TWICE ABOUT THE NSEQUENC AS LONG AS YOU FD WHAT YOU WANT. IN NEWNS, ’S GABI AND MART’S RELATNSHIPS. THEY CID TO START A RELATNSHIP WHOUT REALLY GETTG TO KNOW EACH OTHER. GABI DIDN’T EVEN KNOW MART’S MOTHER HAD MENTIA AND HIS SISTER DIED AND THE SETTLEMENT MONEY WAS ED TO PAY HIS TN. I SENSED MART’S GUILT AND MAYBE, HIS WAY TO CLOSE OFF THAT GUILT WAS BY NOT TALKG ABOUT . AND THEN, GABI RAN TO LARRY AS A TEMPORARY FORT. WHEN SHE REALIZED HOW DIFFERENT THEY WERE, SHE JT RAN AWAY AGA. I SEE GABI AS THE SECURE ONE BETWEEN HER AND MART, AND HER SECURY EXPLAED HER HYSTERIA ABOUT ALMOST EVERYTHG. THE ENDG, TO ME IS ONE OF THE MOST REALISTIC ENDG I’VE EVER SEEN. THEIR WILLGNS TO ACCEPT BOREDOM AS PART OF RELATNSHIP IS THE RULT OF DISAPPOTMENTS OF ALWAYS LOOKG FOR NEWNS.ONE OF THE THGS THAT I REALLY LOVE ABOUT THIS MOVIE IS HOW DRAKE DOREM SHOT SOME SCEN AS IF WE WERE PEEKG TO MART AND GABI’S LIV. IT GAVE THE SENSE OF RAWNS AND ALSO TIMACY. I REALLY DIDN’T EXPECT MUCH WHEN I WATCHED THE TRAILER, BUT EVEN BEFORE THE CRED ROLLED, I KNEW THIS IS ONE OF THOSE RARE MOVI I’M WILLG TO WATCH MORE THAN ONCE AND I WILL REVIS THE FUTURE. IT LEFT A CLEAR AND EP MARK FOR ME, THAT I STILL THK ABOUT EVERY STAGE OF THEIR RELATNSHIPS LONG AFTER THE MOVIE FISHED. NICHOLAS HOULT AND LAIA COSTA WERE PERFECT, AS THEIR CHEMISTRY JT CLICKED OM THE FIRST MOMENT THEY MET. AND THANKS TO THIS MOVIE, I JT REALIZED HOW GEO NICHOLAS HOULT IS. I’D NEVER REALLY PAID ATTENTN MUCH TO HIM, BUT THANKS TO SO MANY CLOSE-UP SHOTS, THIS MOVIE SHOWED ME WHAT A GREAT LOOKG MAN HE IS. AND HOW SIAR HIS FACE IS TO SAM CLAFL. NOW, A MOVIE WH THE TWO WILL FELY A DREAM!MY RATG IS ***** OUT OF ***** BEE ’S RARE A MOVIE LEFT ME NTEMPLATIVE AND GOT ME QUTNG ABOUT MY OWN VIEW ABOUT RELATNSHIPS.#NEWNS#DRAKE DOREM#NICHOLAS HOULT#LAIA COSTA#INDIE FILM#RELATNSHIPS#DRAMA#POJOK SEMA#ABIYASHA#FILM REVIEWPOJOKSEMAFOLLOWTOM OF FINLAND (2017)I DON’T THK ’S AN EXAGGERATN BY SAYG 2017 WAS ONE OF THE BT YEARS FOR GAY THEMED FILMS. AFTER MOONLIGHT WON BT PICTURE AT OSR, WAS LIKE PAVG THE WAY FOR MORE GAY THEMED MOVI WITH QUALY. CALL ME BY YOUR NAME, BEACH RATS, GOD’S OWN COUNTRY, BPM, AND AFTER WATCHG TOM OF FLAND, I HAVE NO DOUBT TO PUT THIS MOVIE ON THE SAME LEAGUE OF THE OTHER GAY THEMED FILMS.TOM OF FLAND WAS FLAND’S THIS YEAR’S OSR SUBMISSN FOR BT FOREIGN FILM, BUT WAS NOT NOMATED. I WASN’T (AND STILL IS) NOT FAIAR WH TOO LAAKSONEN OR HIS HOMOEROTIC ART, BUT THIS MOVIE REALLY PUT ME THAT STATE OF CURNS. I WATCHED THIS MOVIE RIGHT AFTER FAL PORTRA, WHOUT REALIZG THAT I WAS WATCHG TWO FILMS ABOUT ARTIST! THOUGH THEIR SIARY ENDS THERE, TOO SPIRED ME MORE THAN GIAETTI.TOM OF FLAND TOLD THE STORY OF TOO LAAKSONEN, A WAR VETERAN WHO SUFFERED OM PTSD AND FOUND SOLACE SKETCHG. I’M NOT GOG TO REVEAL THE STORY LE OR THE TAIL OF EVERY SCENE—BEE THIS MOVIE IS BETTER TO BE EXPERIENCED WHOUT READG ANY SYNOPSIS—BUT I WILL UNRLE THE IMPORTANCE OF HIS ART AND WHY SPIRED ME.TOO WAS A TALENTED MAN. THERE WAS NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT. BUT, WHAT’S THE E OF WHEN YOU N’T EVEN SHOW ? TOO LIVED WHEN HOMOSEXUALY WAS STILL SEEN AS TABOO FLAND. THOUGH HE HAD A SMALL GAY MUNY—THANKS TO HIS FORMER PTA THE ARMY, HEIKKI—WHERE HE N SHOW HIS TALENT, WASN’T LONG BEFORE THE GATHERG GOT RAID AND HE WENT BACK TO SQUARE ONE. HE KEPT ON DRAWG AND AN OPPORTUNY FALLY ME TO HIM THE UNED STAT. HE WAS WELL-KNOWN AS TOM OF FLAND, AND HIS HOMOEROTIC ART WAS WORSHIPPED THE GAY MUNY AND THOUGH I WASN’T SURE, HIS ARTS PROBABLY CREATG A LEATHER MUNY AMONG GAY PEOPLE. THOUGH HE FOUND HIS SPIRATNS MALY MEN WHO WORE SPECIFIC CLOTHG (UNIFORM, LEATHER JACKETS) WAS HIS FIRST SPIRATN, A RSIAN SOLDIER HE KILLED, THAT REALLY MOVED ME. HE TURNED HIS TRMA TO ART, AND THAT’S WHAT REAL ARTISTS DO. THEY CREATE ART EVEN WHEN THEIR REAL LIFE SUFFERS.WHAT SPIRED ME ABOUT TOM OF FLAND AND HIS JOURNEY OF BEG AN IN WH THE GAY MUNY IS THE WAY HIS ART WAS APPRECIATED. HIS OWN SISTER BELTLED HIS TALENT JT BEE HE CREATED HOMOEROTIC NTENTS, WHILE AROUND THE WORLD, HE GOT APPRECIATN AND WAS SEEN AS SOME SORT OF A HERO.THIS SCENE REALLY GOT TO ME BEE THE WAY KAIJA, TOO'S SISTER, SAID THE LE AS IF SHE WAS DISGTED BY WHAT HE DID.SO, WHY TOM OF FLAND SPIRED ME MORE THAN FAL PORTRA? BEE OF MY PREFERENCE WRG GAY THEMED STORI RATHER THAN STRAIGHT ON. TO SOME PEOPLE, MIGHT NOT MAKE DIFFERENCE, BUT TO ME, DO. I’M NOT SAYG THAT MY WRG IS NOT APPRECIATED—THOUGH NOT THE SAME LEVEL OF TOO— IS APPRECIATED, BUT IS STILL OVERLOOKED THE PUBLISHG WORLD. UNLS THE GAY CHARACTERS THAT STORY MARRI A WOMAN OR DI, THEN THERE’S A LTLE CHANCE THE MANCRIPT TO BE PUBLISHED INDONIA. THE PERSISTENCE OF TOO KEEP ON CREATG WHAT HE LOVED, REMD ME TO BE PERSISTENCE AS WELL WH MY WRG. I MIGHT NOT FD FAME THE WAY TOO DID, BUT MAK ME BELIEVE THAT MY STORI—HOPEFULLY— A WAY, WILL CHANGE SOMEONE’S LIFE.

IT FELT SO RAW, ARTSY, AND DOWN TO EARTH, WHILE MATAG THE 60S ATMOSPHERE SO PERFECTLY. THE STORY IS ACTUALLY VERY SIMPLE: AN ARTIST WANTED TO MAKE HIS FAL PATG AFTER HE ABANDONED FOR YEARS TO FOC ON HIS SCULPTG. THE WHOLE MOVIE IS REALLY ABOUT ALBERTO GIAETTI (GEOFEY RH) STGGLG TO FISH THE PORTRA OF JAM LORD (ARMIE HAMMER) WHO POSED FOR HIM. LORD WAS BAFFLED AT FIRST BY GIAETTI’S ABILY TO FOC ON THE PATG, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME, HE WAS DISTRACTED BY HIS SORT-OF-MISTRS, CAROLE. WHEN A DAY STRETCHED TO 3 WEEKS, LORD’S LIFE STARTED TO BE AFFECTED BEE HE KEPT ON POSTPONG HIS RETURN TO USA. THE SET MOSTLY WAS SI GIAETTI’S STUD, WHILE OCSNALLY SHOWED THE Fé WHERE GIAETTI UALLY EAT AND THE CEMETERY WHERE THEY TOOK A WALK AND TALK ABOUT PISSO AND ARTS. WHAT AMAZED ME WAS THE 60S ATMOSPHERE OF THIS MOVIE. THOUGH WASN’T REALLY SHOWN LIKE, SAY THE MAN OM U.N.C.L.E, BUT S PRENCE WAS SO STRONG THAT WAS HARD TO IGNORE . THERE WERE SOME UNSTEADY SHOTS, WHICH ACRDG TO MY PERSONAL OPN, WORKED AND ADD TO S RAWNS. AS FOR THE STORY SELF, FAL PORTRA REALLY SHOWED THE UGLY PART OF BEG AN ARTIST. A GREAT ARTIST LIKE GIAETTI ULDN’T BE FORCED TO FISH HIS WORKS. HE WORKED WHEN HE GOT SPIRATN, ADD THAT WH PERFECTNISM (HE NMNED THE FIRST PORTRAS WERE BAD AND HE EVEN BURNED SOME OF HIS OLD SKETCH!) THEN YOU KNOW HOW MSY HIS LIFE WAS. ONE OF THE GREAT THGS ABOUT THIS MOVIE IS STG GEOFEY RH AS GIAETTI. MAN, HE WAS SO PERFECT HIS ROLE, EVEN HIS PHYSILY IS CLOSE TO REAL GIAETTI. HE REALLY OWNED THE ROLE AND TOO BAD, THE MOVIE ISN’T RELEASED THE US YET. IF WAS RELEASED LAST YEAR, HE N REALLY BE A NTENR FOR THIS YEAR’S OSR. ARMIE HAMMER NTUED TO IMPRS ME WH HIS SUBTLE ACTG. THOUGH HE WASN’T GIVEN AS MANY EMOTNAL SCEN TO WORK ON LIKE THE ONE HE DID CALL ME BY YOUR NAME, I N REALLY SEE ARMIE DOG THIS KD OF MOVIE THE FUTURE. IT SEEMS HE REALLY FS TO EUROPEAN CEMA. THIS MOVIE IS FELY NOT FOR EVERYONE, AS NOT MANY THGS HAPPENED FAL PORTRA, BUT SOMEHOW, I ENJOYED SO MUCH! IT’S A FILM THAT NOT ONLY SHOWSED THE GEOFEY RH’S MASTERFUL ACTG, BUT ALSO TACKLED THE SI OF AN ARTIST HIS LAST YEARS.

THE FACT THAT SOME ELEMENTS OF THIS MOVIE N BE APPLIED INDONIA 2018, IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORE MOVI OF 2017. OKAY, LET ME GIVE YOU SOME IAS ABOUT CURRENT SUATN INDONIA. THE ERNMENT OF INDONIA IS TRYG TO PASS THE LAWS THAT WILL CRIMALIZE SAME-SEX RELATNSHIP, EXTRAMARAL SEX, AND ALSO OTHER LAWS THAT WILL PUT WOMEN AND CHILDREN DANGER OF BEG PROSECUTED. MOST OF INDONIAN CIZENS STILL VIEW HOMOSEXUALY AS SOMETHG ABNORMAL, A DISEASE, A MENTAL ILLNS, AND ’S CURABLE. THE MEDIA IS NOT DOG MUCH BETTER, AT LEAST THE MEDIA THAT IS WILY READ. THEY HELPED PROMOTG THE HATE FOR GAY PEOPLE, THAT WE REALLY ON THE BRK OF MOVG WAY BACKWARDS. SOME JUDG SUPREME COURT EVEN SID WH THE MAJORY OF THE PEOPLE, NOT TO MENTN THE ERNMENT OFFICIALS. AND THAT IS WHERE THE POST RONATED WH ME.THE POST IS A STORY ABOUT THE POWER OF MEDIA AND HOW THEIR EFFORTS UNVEILG THE ERNMENT’S SECRETS THAT HAD BEEN KEPT FOR SO LONG. WHEN THE NEW YORK TIM PUBLISHED THE PENTAGON PAPERS, THE US ERNMENT CID TO BRG THEM TO THE URT. THE SAME THG HAPPENED TO THE WASHGTON POST WHEN THEY PUBLISHED THE MATERIALS. AND WHEN THEIR SE WAS BROUGHT TO SUPREME COURT, OTHER NEWSPAPERS DID THE SAME THG. I SAW AS A SOLIDARY MOVEMENT AND THEIR LOUD STATEMENT THAT ERNMENT N’T SILENT THE MEDIA. ONE OF MY FAVORE SCEN IS WHEN BEN BRADLEE (TOM HANKS) LAID OUT THE PAPERS ONT OF KAY. I ULD SEE THE RELIEF ON KAY’S FACE THAT SHE MIGHT HAVE DONE THE RIGHT THG.THIS SCENE STAYED WH ME, BEE GAVE ME A SENSE OF SOLIDARY AMONG THE PRS.WHEN SUPREME COURT CID TO PROTECT THE PRS AS PART OF MOCRACY, I WAS ALMOST TEARS. PART OF ME WAS HOPG THE SUPREME COURT INDONIA HAS THE GUTS TO GO AGAST THE ERNMENT AND PROTECTS THE CIZEN, BUT PART OF ME KNEW WAS PROBABLY A WISHFUL THKG. SHOULDN’T THE PRS ALSO PLAY A PART TELLG THE TTH? IN INDONIA, WHEN TO HOMOSEXUALY, THE PRS DID THE OPPOSE.

I HAD THE SAME HANCY BEFORE WATCHG THIS MOVIE THE WAY I FELT WH FUNNY GIRL. AT 2 HOURS AND 55 MUT, THIS FILM KD OF TTG MY PATIENCE, HAHAHAHA. BUT, SCE I REALLY WANTED TO WATCH , I TRIED TO S STILL AND ENJOY THE MOVIE. DID I ENJOY ? NOT QUE AS ENJOYABLE AS FUNNY GIRL, BUT AT LEAST, NOW I N SAY “YEAH, I WATCHED A STAR IS BORN” IF SOMEONE ASKS ME, HAHAHA.WHAT N I SAY ABOUT A CLASSIC? IT DON’T REALLY MATTER, RIGHT?PERSONALLY, THIS MOVIE N BE CUT TO SHORTER VERSN AS THERE WERE SOME UNNECSARY SCEN. THE “BORN TNK” NUMBER WAS WAAAAAAY TOO LONG, WHOUT HAVG THE REAL PURPOSE OF THE STORY LE. IF THAT SCENE GOT CUT, I THK THE MOVIE WOULD DO JT WELL. BUT, SCE WE’RE TALKG ABOUT JUDY GARLAND AND ’S A MIL, I GUS THE PRODUCERS (OR THE STUD) WANTED TO SHOWSE HER TALENTS MORE THAN THE STORY LE SELF. THEN, THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN JAM MASON AND JUDY GARLAND WAS ALMOST VISIBLE BEE THIS IS MORE LIKE A ONE WOMAN FILM. THIS IS JUDY GARLAND’S MOVIE OM BEGNG TO END. JAM MASON, MY OPN IS MORE LIKE A SUPPORTG ACTOR THAN LEAD, EVEN THOUGH HIS CHARACTER IS THE REASON BEHD VICKI LTER’S ACTNS. JUDY GARLAND REALLY RRIED THIS MOVIE ON HER SHOULR, AND THOUGH SHE WAS PTIVATG, I ONLY RED FOR HER CHARACTER THE LAST ONE HOUR OF THE MOVIE. IF SHE’D WON THE OSR, HER OSR MOMENT WOULD BE THIS PARTICULAR SCENE:THIS WHOLE SCENE WAS REALLY GREAT MY OPN, BEE AFTER SHE BROKE DOWN THE DRSG ROOM, SHE HAD TO NTUE SHOOTG. SGG AND SG, WHILE HER HEART CRIED OUT. FROM THIS POT FORWARD, JUDY GARLAND REALLY SHOWED HER ABILY. SHE WAS AGILE, SHE WAS TRATED, SHE WAS HOPELS, SHE WAS HELPLS, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, SHE WAS TERMED TO STAY BY NORMAN’S SI, EVEN IF SHE HAD TO THROW HER REER OUT OF THE WDOW, BEE WHOUT NORMAN, SHE WAS NOTHG. WHAT I REALLY LOVE ABOUT THE MOVIE WAS THE PORTRAYAL OF PUBLIC FIGURE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A MOVIE ABOUT A STAR THAT CLOSE TO A STAR IS BORN, TERM OF HOW CLOSE IS TO REALY. IT WAS, IS, AND WILL ALWAYS BE RELEVANT. VICKI’S LIFE HAD ALWAYS BEEN SCTIZED, MOREOVER AFTER NORMAN WAS RELEASED OM JAIL AND DURG THE FUNERAL SCENE. WHAT ME TO MY MD WAS HOW HARD IS BEG A CELEBRY WHEN YOU REALLY HAVE TO FACE THE PUBLIC, WHEN ALL YOU REALLY WANT IS JT STAY AWAY OM PUBLIC. JT AS THE PICTURE ABOVE, PUBLIC FIGURE HAS TO LOCK UP THEIR FEELGS AND THEIR PROBLEMS AND BE READY FOR THE MERA. THAT’S A HELL OF TOUGH JOB!MY FAVORE MOMENT PROBABLY THIS NUMBER, SOMEWHERE THERE'S A SOMEONE:DURG THIS NUMBER JUDY GARLAND AND JAM MASON REALLY HAD FUN I N JT TELL OM THEIR BODY LANGUAGE. AND ’S PROBABLY THEIR ONLY SWEETT MOMENT THE FILM. I LOVE .AND ALSO THE MAN THAT GOT AWAY NUMBER. I DON’T KNOW HOW MANY TIM I HAVE LISTENED TO THIS SONG, EVEN LONG BEFORE I WATCHED THE MOVIE. AND MY OPN, JUDY GARLAND SHOULD REALLY SG THIS AGA THE END OF THE MOVIE, BEE THE LYRICS PTURED HER CHARACTER’S EMOTN TOO WELL. IT ALSO SEEMED FTG TO CLOSE THE MOVIE WH A SONG THAT GOT VICKI LTER THE ATTENTN OF NORMAN MAE. ANYWAY, ’S JT MY OPN.WHEN SHE DID THIS NUMBER, I ULDN’T SHAKE THE THOUGHT OF WATCHG LIZE MELLI CABARET. THE WHOLE MANNERISM, HER FACE, EVEN HER HAIR THIS SCENE REALLY REMD ME OF SALLY BOWL WHEN SHE BELTED MAYBE THIS TIME. SEE THE REMBLANCE?

BUT THE WEATHER LAST NIGHT (RAG AND LD) WAS A PERFECT ONE TO WATCH A MIL. SO, I DUG !TURNED OUT—EVEN THOUGH WAS WAY TOO LONG—I ENJOYED THE MOVIE. SCE LEA MICHELE BELTED RA ON MY PARA ON GLEE YEARS AGO, THE SONGS OM THE MOVIE HAVE BEEN ON MY PLAYLIST, SO I ULD HUM A B WHEN THE SONGS ME OUT (PECIALLY FUNNY GIRL, MY MAN, I’D RATHER BE BLUE AND OF URSE, RA ON MY PARA) AND BARBRA STREISAND WAS EXTRAORDARY AS FANNY BRICE. I WAS SKEPTIL WHEN SHE WON THE OSR, TYG WH KATHARE HEPBURN, AS THERE WERE MORS SHE VOTED FOR HERSELF. BUT AFTER WATCHG THE MOVIE, SHE REALLY SERVED THAT OSR. SHE PLAYED FANNY BRICE WH UNNIABLE CHARM, WH, AND CHARISMA, THAT I WILL FD A HARD TIME TO IMAGE ANOTHER ACTRS PLAYG HER ( SE HOLLYWOOD WANTED TO REMAKE THIS MOVIE, YOU KNOW, AFTER ALL SPIELBERG IS GOG TO REMAKE WT SI STORY) AND CLASSIC MOVI TEND TO BE OVER ACTG, THAT SOMETIM, ’S HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE THEIR CHARACTERS. BUT BARBRA WAS NATURAL, AS IF SHE WERE BORN TO PLAY THE ROLE. HER VOICE WAS POWERFUL, BELTG EVERY SONG (PECIALLY ON PEOPLE AND MY MAN) AND I WONR WHY SHE DIDN’T W TONY FOR THIS ROLE. ASI OM THE STORY LE THAT SEEMS WAY TOO LONG AND AFTER I READ A LTLE B ABOUT THE REAL STORY OF FANNY BRICE AND NICKY ARNSTE, THIS MOVIE FALLS TO HOLLYWOOD CLICHé, OF GLOSSG THE REAL EVENTS. I KNOW ’S A MOVIE, I KNOW HAD TO BE DRAMATIZED, BUT WHEN SO MANY FACTS WERE ALTERED, THEN THE SENSE OF THE STORY BE FICTNAL TO ME. IN FUNNY GIRL, I WON’T REMEMBER THE MOVIE AS ONE OF MY FAVOR, BUT I WILL REMEMBER BARBRA STREISAND AS FANNY BRICE. END OF DISCSN. FUNNY GIRL IS FELY ONE OF THE BT MILS E OM THE 60S. WILL WE EVER SEE THE TREND AGA? I DON’T THK SO, THOUGH I HOPE I WILL LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE THE REVIVAL OF MIL FILM, AS I LOVE MIL. IN THE WHERE THERE WERE WT SI STORY, MARY POPPS, THE SOUND OF MIC, OLIVER!, THOROUGHLY MORN MILLIE, HELLO DOLLY, AND OF URSE, MY FAIR LADY, FUNNY GIRL STANDS OUT BEE MY PERSONAL OPN, BARBRA STREISAND’S PORTRAYAL IS THE ONLY ONE THAT STUCK MY MEMORY, ALONGSI JULIE ANDREWS’S MARY POPPS.

HIS CURT REMARKS AND HIS DIFFERENCE REALLY ANNOYED ME AT SOME POTS, AND THAT SHOWED HOW GREAT JOSH O’CONNOR’S ACTG IS. BUT, TO ME, THE REAL STAR OF THIS MOVIE IS ALEC SEREANU AS GHEHE. HE DIDN’T GET AS MANY L AS GHEHE, BUT WH THE LSER SCREEN TIME THAN JOSH O’CONNOR, HE MA THE BT OF . HIS FACIAL EXPRSNS REALLY SHOWED THE GREAT RANGE OF EMOTNS. FROM ANNOYED, CUR, ANGER, AND TENRNS. IT REMDS ME A B OF TIMOTHéE CHALAMET CALL ME BY YOUR NAME. THOUGH HE SEEMED OVERSHADOWED, TO ME HE’S THE REAL STAR OF THE MOVIE. GOD’S OWN COUNTRY IS THE GREAT EXAMPLE ABOUT CHARACTER’S VELOPMENT BEE I DON’T SEE MANY OF THAT A MOVIE, NOT AS SWIFT AND NATURAL AS JOHNNY. WHEN THEY MA LOVE THE FIRST TIME, WAS STILL FULL OF ANGER OM JONNY’S SI, BUT THE SEND TIME, HE LET GO OF HIS GUARDS BEE GHEHE REALLY PHED HIM TO . THAT PHYSIL NNECTN N BE BETIFUL AND TENR. GHEHE CHANGED HIM THE WAY HE HAD NEVER EXPECTED. THE SCEN AFTER THEIR NNECTN IS BUILT JT SHOWED THE REAL PERSONALY OF JOHNNY. HOW HIS MOTHER’S ABANDONMENT AFFECTED HIS WAY OF LIVG. THE MOST POWERFUL SCENE FOR ME IS NEAR THE END WHEN HE NFSED HIS FEELG FOR GHEHE. IF JOSH O’CONNOR WAS UP FOR OSR, WOULD BE HIS OSR MOMENT.AS WH OTHER BRISH FILMS THAT SET THE UNTRYSI, GOD’S OWN COUNTRY SPOILS WH THE VAST AND BETIFUL LANDSPE. BUT MY FAVORE HAS TO BE THIS ONE:TO ME, THIS SCENE IS ANOTHER GHEHE’S EFFECT ON JOHNNY AS HE FELT HIS LIFE ON THE FARM IS SOME KD OF TRAP, WHOUT REALIZG THAT HE WAS SURROUND BY THE BETY OF NATURE. GHEHE SHOWED THAT BETY TO HIM THROUGH THIS SCENE. GOD’S OWN COUNTRY IS NO BROKEBACK MOUNTA ASI OM THE FARM SETTG. IT HAS A HAPPY ENDG AND THOUGH I WISHED ALEC SACEREANU’S SCREEN TIME WAS LONGER, I FD THIS MOVIE IS QUE ENJOYABLE TO WATCH. THE SEX SCENE WASN’T TOO GRAPHIC, BUT RATHER BETIFULLY SHOT. BUT I STILL HOLD ON TO MY OPN THAT ALEC SEREANU IS THE REAL STAR.MY RATG IS **** OUT OF ***** BEE EVEN THOUGH DON’T BRG ANYTHG NEW, ’S RELIEVG TO KNOW, THE BETIFUL ENDG IS NOT FORCED. IT’S ROMANCE AT S RE, AND AS A HOPELS ROMANTIC, I N’T PLA TOO MUCH.#GOD'S OWN COUNTRY#FRANCIS LEE#JOSH O'CONNOR#ALEC SEREANU#BRISH CEMA#EUROPEAN CEMA#GAY THEMED#ROMANCE FILM#POJOK SEMA#FILM REVIEW#ABIYASHAPOJOKSEMAFOLLOWBEATS PER MINUTE (2017)AFTER WATCHG BEATS PER MUTE (OR TO SHORTEN , BPM) I FELT THAT 2017 WAS ONE OF THE BT YEAR QUEER CEMA. LAST YEAR, SOME OF THE GAY THEMED FILMS GOT REGNNS AND SO OFTEN, APPEARED ON THE TOP 10 LIST PUBLITNS. FOR ME, SHOWED THAT QUEER CEMA HAS REACHED ANOTHER LEVEL AFTER THE SUCCS OF MOONLIGHT. CALL ME BY YOUR NAME, GOD’S OWN COUNTRY (WHICH I’M GOG TO REVIEW NEXT) BPM, AND A FANTASTIC WOMAN, GIVE ME HOPE THAT 2018, THERE WILL BE MORE QUEER MOVI LIKE THE.BPM TACKLED THE ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN DONE SO MANY TIM THE CEMA (AND LERATURE), ALBE WH DIFFERENT APPROACH. AIDS EPIMIC WILL ALWAYS BE PART OF GAY HISTORY AND THERE ARE ALWAYS STORI TO TELL, BUT MOST OF THE MOVI WHICH AL WH AIDS, ALWAYS FOC ON THE RELATNSHIPS OF THE MA CHARACTERS, BUT BPM TOOK DIFFERENT APPROACH. THE MOVIE IS ABOUT ACT UP PARIS, A GROUP OF ACTIVIST WHO FIGHT TIRELSLY TO GET THE ATTENTN OF ERNMENT AND PHARMACTIL ABOUT AIDS AND HOW TO TREAT THE PATIENTS. LOVE STORY BPM ACTED AS A SI STORY RATHER THAN CENTRAL ONE AND THAT’S WHY BPM IS DIFFERENT.THEIR ACT MIGHT BE LOOK TO VLENT, BUT I UNRSTAND THE SPERATN. IT WAS THEIR ONLY WAY TO GET ATTENTN OM THE NCERNG PARTI. THROUGHOUT THE MOVIE, I WASN’T ONLY SYMPATHIZED AND EMPATHIZED WH THEIR FIGHT, BUT I FELT THE ADMIRATN AND THE URGE TO DO SIAR THGS BEE OF WHAT HAPPENED INDONIA LATELY. IT WON’T BE A FIGHT AGAST AIDS, THOUGH, BUT A FIGHT AGAST HOMOPHOBIA. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT BPM IS THE TTHFULNS OF , BEE FELT WAY TOO REAL FOR ME. THE SCENE OF NATHAN AND SEAN WHEN THEY MA LOVE DIDN’T FEEL STAGED. IT FELT SO NATURAL, JT LIKE HOW REAL PEOPLE MAKE LOVE. THEIR EMOTNS WERE RAW. THANKS TO THE ST, PECIALLY NAHUEL PéREZ BISYAT AND ARND VALOIS WHO PLAYED SEAN AND NATHAN WH SUCH TENRNS AND TERMATN. AND BPM SHOWED ME THE SENSE OF UNY A MUNY WHERE THEY HAD THE SAME PURPOSE. THERE WERE FEW SCEN THAT GOT ME TEAR UP: WHEN THEY MARCHED ON THE STREET BEHD JEREMIE’S AD BODY AND THIS ONE:THE WAY SEAN SAID THE WORDS, THE WAY HE LOOKED AT NATHAN, SAYG THAT LE … REALLY BROKE MY HEART. NO ONE WANTS TO LEAVE THE ONE THEY LOVE, MOREOVER WHEN THEY KNEW THEIR TIME IS LIMED. IT’S LIKE APOLOGIZG FOR SOMETHG THAT SHOULDN’T BE. I UNRSTAND THE REASON BEHD NATHAN’S ACT NEAR THE ENDG. HE DID THAT BEE HE KNEW HE ULDN’T STAND SEEG SEAN SUCH NDN. EVEN THE SCENE AFTERWARDS, FELT WAY TOO REAL THAT I ULDN’T HELP BUT STARG AT THE SCREEN, LOST FOR WORDS.I WISH THERE WERE MORE QUEER MOVI LIKE THIS, WHICH HIGHLIGHTED THE STGGLE AND FIGHT OF EQUALY, BEE BELIEVE ME, THERE ARE MANY STORI THAT HAVEN’T BEEN TOLD. BPM MIGHT SOUND TOO POLIL FOR SOME PEOPLE, BUT FOR ME, ’S ALSO ONE OF THE REALT MOVI I’VE EVER WATCHED.MY RATG IS ***** OUT OF ***** SIMPLY BEE STIRRED SOMETHG ME AND MA ME REALIZE, THAT GAY MUNY WILL ALWAYS HAVE TO FIGHT, EVEN NOW.

Homosexualy was still classed as a mental illns until 1981 Fland. And, hyper-masculy has bee somethg of an overarchg standard gay ialism: that to be any lser is to be sub-par, that to be 'straight passg' is a trophy. "Today, we might look at the imag ncerned that they rerce a 'masc4masc' culture that valu mp and ris feme gay and queer men, but the ntext of the 1950s and 1960s, Tom Of Fland's imag are erotic, playful and subversive.
" Which, self, is problematic, though Tom Of Fland was quick to state the he believed their signer to be gay. Placg the k of a supremacist, gay-hatg natn to a sexually charged homoerotic settg uld also be seen as the ultimate act of polil fiance, too.
In 2014, three Fnish first class stamps were released celebratg Tom Of Fland – a world first the mail dtry as the first postage stamp to pict homoerotic art.

After Moonlight won Bt Picture at Osr, was like pavg the way for more gay themed movi WITH qualy. Call Me by Your Name, Beach Rats, God’s Own Country, BPM, and after watchg Tom of Fland, I have no doubt to put this movie on the same league of the other gay themed of Fland was Fland’s this year’s Osr submissn for Bt Foreign Film, but was not nomated. I wasn’t (and still is) not faiar wh Too Laaksonen or his homoerotic art, but this movie really put me that state of curns.
Too lived when homosexualy was still seen as taboo Fland. Though he had a small gay muny—thanks to his former pta the army, Heikki—where he n show his talent, wasn’t long before the gatherg got raid and he went back to square one. He was well-known as Tom of Fland, and his homoerotic art was worshipped the gay muny and though I wasn’t sure, his arts probably creatg a leather muny among gay people.
They create art even when their real life spired me about Tom of Fland and his journey of beg an in wh the gay muny is the way his art was appreciated. His own sister beltled his talent jt bee he created homoerotic ntents, while around the world, he got appreciatn and was seen as some sort of a scene really got to me bee the way Kaija, Too's sister, said the le as if she was disgted by what he, why Tom of Fland spired me more than Fal Portra?
