Don't Tell Anyone (No Se Lo Digas A Nadie)_1Ova klasična pederska coming out priča, ispričana prema istoimenoj noveli Peruanskog pisca Jaime Baylya oduzeti će vam skoro 2 sata vremena, a da to nećeti ni primjetiti.
Iako je smještena u ambijentu južno američke države Peruu, lako je prepoznatljiva u bilo kojem našem većem gradu. U homofobičnoj sredini, strogih tradicionalističkih svjetonazora biti peder je gore nego biti narkoman ili lopov. Za mladog Joaquina biti peder predstavlja noćnu moru i grešku prirode. Još kao dječak je bezspješno pokušavao da zadovolji svoju pedersku znatiželju pri čemu je postiđen samog sebe izgovorio čuvenu rečenicu “molim te nemoj nikome reći” ili kako bi rekli ljudi iz južne srbije “Živ ti majka nemoj na nikoga da kažeš!”


Don't Tell Anyone (No Se Lo Digas A Nadie)_5 (1)Joaquim je inače intelegentam mladić, uzoran učenik, student, ponos svoje pobožne majke, ali u isto vrijeme sramota za svog oca jer nedovoljno iskazivanje muškosti ga navodi na sumlju da mu je sin bolesni peder. Na njegov 18 rođendan ga vodi kod prostitutke u nadi da će u njemu probuditi “pravog muškarca”.
Srećom Joaquim odlazi na studije te se udaljava od kuće. Svjestan svoje “bolesti” pokušava se izliječiti stvarajući vezu sa lijepom Alejandrom kojoj povjeri da voli i muškarce. Naivna Alejandra to protumači kao neku traumu iz djetinjstva, misleći da će ga njena ljubav prema njemu izliječiti. Sve bi to bilo lijepo da se nesretni Joaquim ne zaljubi u momka njene prijateljice sa kojim uspjeva ostvariti intimnost kakvu je oduvijek želio. Traumu izaziva saznanje da je ta veza moguća samo dok glumi uzornog str8 momka.U urbanoj sredini nesretni i napaćeni Joaquin se prepušta kokainu i piću, pa čak i prostituciji.

Don't Tell Anyone (No Se Lo Digas A Nadie)_3Njegov porodični coming out izgleda ovako:
Otac: “Ti si pijan!”
Joaquin: “Ja sam pijan i nadrogiran , ali to me ne čini manje pederom.”


Sve u svemu opet ga na pravi put izvlači njegova , sad već bivša cura , te završava studije a na svojoj inaguraciji ponovo sreće momka zbog kojeg je toliko propatio!
Sad već zna da biti uspješan u društvu znači biti savršen glumac. Biti savršen str8 lik u javnosti, a pička u krevetu! Pa kome se sviđa recept, neka ga primjeni!

 

 

In Lima, Peru, everything could have been so easy for Joaquin. His family is well off, his studies have never given him any headaches and his girlfriends think he is a classy guy. But sometimes, having everything isn’t enough. Don’t Tell Anyone is a groundbreaking, honest and hard-hitting tale of the troubles that accompany a Peruvian man’s search for sexual identity in a country intolerant of open homosexuality.
All his life, Joaquin knew he preferred men. But he dared not tell anyone, not his father, Luis Felipe, a racist and unobliging male chauvinist patriarch who tries to beat the secrets of masculinity into him, nor his mother, Marichuca, whose pious Catholicism deepens his sense of guilt. But soon Joaquin begins a passionate and tangled affair with Gonzalo that puts him face to face with his own homosexuality, as well as with the extraordinary and complicated forces in Peru that work to keep him locked in the closet. Based on the controversial novel by Peruvian writer Jaime Bayly, Don’t Tell Anyone is a powerful and unique portrait of the dichotomous world of homosexuality that exists in Peru and many parts of Latin America.

  1. This is a great movie...I've had it on DVD for several years now, and I highly recommend it for anyone who has never seen it.

    The extras/bonus features on the DVD are well worth having also...if you like, Orvel, I can do a full DVD as an ISO file ready to burn to disc if you'd like to have that here also. The interviews and other stuff are great.
