BORSTAL BOY
* borstal boy gay *
Young Brendan mak bt iends wh his fellow prisoner Charlie (Danny Dyer), a young sailor who is "openly gay" (says Stephen Holn of the New York Tim), although I believe beg openly gay those days, when was agast the law, was more a matter of sendg signals to those who knew them and stayg pntly the closet otherwise. Certaly Brendan is slow to tch on, both to Charlie's homosexualy and to the promptgs of his own heart. My gus is that the likelihood of a borstal boy beg allowed to spend qualy time wh the warn's dghter is approximately the same as his chanc of makg iends wh an "openly gay" prisoner, which is to say, ls likely than beg ved to tea wh the urse, Liz and Charlie may e directly om the pag of the book and I have simply fotten them.

His re of passage also clus a sexually ambiguo iendship wh an openly gay Naval t (Danny Dyer) and an fatuatn wh the warn's dghter (Eva Birthistle), a pater who regniz and enurag his talent. The gay versn: There he met a gay sailor, slowly beme iends, eventually realizg his love for the boy, only after 's all too late. The more mastream versn: He met a gay sailor named Charlie, and the warn's dghter Liz, felt attractn to both, realizg that love is stronger than hate.
But the love me across stronger and eper than any gay movi I have seen so far where boys jump to bed faster than Chelsea Hatosy gave a great performance.
He was very nvcg as a 17-year-old Irish boy, and pretty good for the part as a boy slowly g to terms wh his homosexualy.
