Description:

fit16Nakon što sam odgledao ovaj film razmislio sam koliko nam ponekad predubjeđenja iskrive sliku onoga što vidimo! Zar vam se nije desilo da za nekoga pomislite da je 100% peder jer se drži svih pederskih stereotipa, a ono na kraju ispadne da je dečko totalno  str8. Dešava se i obrnuto, dosta pedera, posebno onih mlađih zaslijepljeni privlačnošću nekog muškarca počnu da vide stvari koje se definitivno ne dešavaju! Uslijed želje da budu dio nečijeg srca jednostavno ne vide da ta "prava ljubav" njih voli kao i ostale svoje str8 prijatelje.

Bio sam u prilici da prisutvujem razgovorima tipa:" Mislim da bi on želio da ima nešto samnom, način na koji me je gledao mi to govori" Slični zaključci često mogu biti pogrešni uslijed želje za nečim više od prijateljstva!
Jedan od pederskih stereotipa i jeste taj da svaki gay misli da su svi zgodni muškarci  barem bisex, ako već nisu homići. Zvuči vam poznato zar ne!

fit222Kada smo već kod razumijevanja i želje da nas drugi prihvate ovakve kakvi jesmo, jeste li se ikada zapitali koliko ste vi, draga moja pederska gospodo, spremni da prihvatite ljude drugačije od vas? Naježim se kada čujem komentare kako su lezbejke definitivno loše i pakosne osobe, kako su cigani glibavi i smrdljivi neradnici, šiptari su za izbjegavanje, crncima nije mjesto u mojoj državi....

Kad god pomislite tako nešto pomislite da i drugi mogu slično razmišljati sa dodatkom: "pedere treba sve pobiti"

Tolerancija ima dvije strane i uvjek postoji neka manjina i neka većina! Bar se potrudite da otvorite um i prihvatite okolinu onakvu kakva jeste.

Ovaj film nam govori i o jednom tinejdžerskom problemu, shvatanje i prihvatanje sopstvene seksualnosti. Ne znam zašto , ali dosta momaka je našlo za shodno da mi pošalje mail sa problemima u vezi toga. Pitanja tipa, kako mogu biti siguran da sam gay i šta da radim da to ne budem?!

Nemojte se ovome smijati vi ovejani matori pederi, i nemojte zloupotrebljavati mlade ljude koji tek treba da sazrenu i postanu samopouzdane ličnosti!
Svi smo prošli tu fazu, a za mnoge je jedini izlaz odlazak kod psihijatra jer neznanje i tradicionalni stereotipi tipa da je to bolest i slično ne zaobilaze ni ljude koji su seksualno orjentisani prema istom spolu!

O svemu ovome govori nam ovaj sjajan film! Jedan "odvratno feminizirani peder koji je još i crnac" dolazi u školu kao učitelj plesa i glume. I kao u svakoj školi učenici to različito prihvataju isto kao što se različito prihvataju i između sebe!

Film je za svaku preporuku, posebno ministarsvu prosvjete i bilo bi dobro da se prikazuje u svim srednjim školama. Ako ništa drugo ono barem na nacionalnim balkanskim televizijama!
Ovo posebno važi za Srbiju koja je uslijed duge nemštine i izolacije stvorila kritičnu masu stanovništva koje sve one koji se ne uklapaju u sliku "normalnog čovjeka" smatra bolesnicima. Mada budimo iskreni, skoro sve balkanse države imaju isti problem.

fit03Every once in a while, along comes a film that in saying it like it is, gives encouragement and inspiration to others to proudly be their homosexual self. Well thankfully, this is one such occasion.

Then again, this heartfelt message of sexual acceptance should be of no surprise given this groundbreaking feature was made with the support of Stonewall. It tells, in effect, the story of six teenagers, each of whom has fallen foul of the school system thanks to their misbehaviour and who are forced to seek educational redemption by participating in a dance and drama class with a difference. That difference being Loris; the new teaching jock on the block who is as open with his homosexuality, as he is on hand to support his pupils, a mixed group of troubled teens who have far more in common with each other, than what they may care to realise.

fit10And no need to guess that the common factor here is one of sexuality; albeit sexuality with a twist in its tale. Take Lee for example. Your stereotypical butch dyke. Only she’s straight and the best friend of Karmel, namely a girl into make-up, clothes and all that’s pretty, including girls. Hey, who says lesbians aren’t supposed to be girly. And then there’s Isaac, who along with his best friend Ryan is homophobic to the core, having made the life of school geek Tegs a bloody misery. Only who’s actually gay or straight here? Tegs' best friend Jordan has an idea, but then this budding footballer has other things on his mind, as he sets his sights on a career in the so-called beautiful game.

fit12In short, this is a film in which writer, director and don’t you just love him Rikki, think Metrosexuality, Beadle-Blair as Loris has set out to showcase the sparkling sexual diversity "that humanity has to offer." It is a work that brilliantly plays on its performing arts scenario to allow for accusations of being gay to flourish, that of a series of cutting comments, that make for direct replies in return. And here cue such questions as am I gay?, what if my friend is gay?, together with such major issues as religion and homosexuality, sport and homophobia, let alone the differing parental attitudes to gay blood in the family.

fit06That the talented young cast play their roles with added poignancy, should arrive as no surprise, given of a number of them had already performed in front of 20,000 plus people during the three winters that the original stage play / workshop toured the UK; at theatres, youth clubs and critically at schools. Yet that does not diminish their remarkably realistic turns here, even if Jay Brown of Hong Khaou’s Summer credit had the unenviable task of portraying the homophobic bully of the piece; albeit one that is shown the error of his ways, courtesy of seven episodic chapters that detail the life stories and thereby the very sexuality of the principal characters.

fit13Notably reworked for its cinematic outing, along the way taking in many of the players previously seen in Beadle-Blair's spirited Kick Off, this enlightening work equally contains a series of direct-to-camera monologues, that by way of a support group, emotionally cut straight to the hearts and minds of the gay and lesbian teens of today. The result is a vibrant mix of sexual home truths and street dance that is as entertaining, as it is informative. That an exhilarating feature such as this, aimed at addressing homophobic bullying in British schools should be required viewing as part of the National Curriculum, kind of goes without saying. Simply wicked.

Home of Phobia (2004) aka Freshman Orientation

Home of PhobiaHome of Phobia (2004) aka Freshman Orientation

Director: Ryan Shiraki
Scenario: Ryan Shiraki
Genre: Comedy, Romance
Country: USA
Year: 2004
Duration: 92 min
Rating: 4.8/10

Actors: Sam Huntington, Marla Sokoloff, Mike Erwin, Heather Matarazzo, Kaitlin Doubleday, Bryce Johnson, Jud Tylor, John Goodman, Rachel Dratch, Mark Abney, Dicky Barrett, Jonathan Watts Bell, Palma Botterell, Skylar Duhe, Antonio Echeverria, Meagen Fay, Shannon Floyd, Loren Kinsella, Rachel Klein, Sherri Marina, Murphy Martin, Mark McLachlan, Jeffrey Muller, Michael Osborne, Mary Payne, Michael Salinas, Ashley Sherman





Ovaj film se baš i ne može svrstati u gay themed movies iako je tokom cjelog trajanja filma u centru pažnje jedan momak koji se pretvara da je gay. U samom startu film je za prosiječnog pedera postavljen naopako! Str8 koji se pretvara da je gay je nešto što će svaki prosječno iskusan peder razotkriti! Još ako je taj strejter zgodan i privlačan za pet munuta istina izlazi na vidjelo.





Home of Phobia2 Teže je pronaći pedersku skrivenu stranu kod “str8” čovjeka, nego ovo. Ali ako zanemarimo ovu lošu predpostavku, film se može pogledati i u porodičnom ambijentu, jer vašeg punoljetnog sina i momka sigurno neće zatrovati bezobraznom golotinjom muških tijela.

Priča se odvija u gužvi studentskog života u nekom od američkih univerziteta ili ti sveučilišta kako je meni draže reći, jer tu se zaista svašta može naučiti. Iako sam prošao kroz sve faze studentskog načina života, zaista nisam nikada primjetio da postoje tu muški ili ženski klanovi kao u ovim američkim filmovima. A baš bih volio da tako nešto ima kod nas, stim da bih ja morao biti vođa!:) U tako jednom ženskom klanu zgodni djevojčurak dobije zadatak da slomije srce nekom pederu. Nesrečnim slučajem naletu na nespretnog momka koji u želji da je osvoji izrekne čuvenu rečenicu:”Ja sam gay!”

Home of Phobia3 I nakon toga mora da prođe kroz sva sranja koja se dešavaju pederu koji uleti u coming out!

Obilje simpatičnih i smješnih scena u kojima se nesretni mladić našao i po svoj prilici neobično dobro snašao učiniće da vam ovaj film ugodno utroši oko sat i po vremena.

Mene je podsjetio na moju omiljenu zabavu: “kako u str8 momku otkriti gay stranu i ukazatu mu na nju! ?”

Nakon što sam završio fakultet zaposlio sam se i naravno iznajmio stan koji sam dijelio sa cimerom kojeg sam zvao “ljubavi moja” Pošto on zaista nije peder lako je prihvatio moju zajebanciju i kada god smo bili sami zajebavali smo se kao da smo najzaljubljeniji par. Jednom prilikom mi je rekao da koliko god se mi zajebavali na taj račun , da me zaista iskreno voli i da bi volio da ima curu koju će voljeti kao i mene! Nakom jedno godinu dana našao je!

Description:
By ROBERT KOEHLER


Home of Phobia4 A Regent Entertainment release of an Element Films presentation of a Greenblatt-Janollari Studios/Persistent Entertainment production in association with LIFT Prods. Produced by Adam Rosenfelt, Dan Halsted, Judd Payne, Matthew Rhodes, Malcolm Petal. Executive producers, Robert Greenblatt, David Janollari, Sam Nazarian. Co-producers, Marc Schaberg, Randy Winograd. Directed, written by Ryan Shiraki.



Clay - Sam Huntington
Marjorie - Marla Sokoloff
Matt - Mike Erwin
Jessica - Heather Matarazzo
Amanda - Kaitlin Doubleday
Tazwell - Bryce Johnson
Serena - Jud Tylor
Very Drunk Chick - Rachel Dratch
Rodney - John Goodman


With intermittently amusing glee, writer-director Ryan Shiraki's tyro film, "Freshman Orientation," frolics through the political minefields of a typical college campus. Pic's straight hero, a foolhardy college dude, reckons he'll play along with a cute gal's false assumption that he's gay, leading to a politically incorrect but ultimately exhausted social satire on sexual and social expectations. Distrib Regent may try to target gay auds, but could find resistance, given the pic's guy-gets-girl happy ending. Broader marketing pitch in vid may be able to grab a hungry college crowd.


vlcsnap-733252 Clay (Sam Huntington) views college life as one long sexual adventure before his boring adult years, but he soon finds that picking up chicks isn't exactly like walking through the produce section. When his first roomie accidentally kicks the bucket, he enlists the far more subdued Matt (Mike Erwin) as his new companion, while fending off the verbal slings of ex-g.f. and current lesbian punkette Marjorie (Marla Sokoloff).


Shiraki's script cleverly dovetails Clay's interest in sorority gal Amanda (Kaitlin Doubleday) with Amanda's mission -- arranged by mega-bitchy sorority leader Serena (Jud Tylor) -- to woo and then dump various "loser" guys. Amanda's target candidate is supposed to be gay, and through a comic mixup stirred by Amanda's potty-mouthed pal Jessica (Heather Matarazzo), Amanda mistakenly believes Clay fits the bill. Sensing a choice opportunity to get cozy with this hottie, Clay plays along and seriously gets into his new persona.
Pic good-naturedly follows Clay through his somewhat unsentimental gay education, greatly boosted by jolly gay barkeep Rodney (John Goodman, having a fine old time in colorful support).


But the comedy starts sputtering as the truth about Clay's sexual preference and Amanda's ruse surface. It's as if Shiraki ran out of ideas and hoped his cast would carry things. Pic lurches from incident to incident, leading to a silly knock-down-drag-out between the college radicals and conservative Greeks, with a final section that's thoroughly out of fuel.



Huntington displays a real eye and ear for funny timing and behavior, and charms with a bad-boy glint. As a confused young man who comes out of the closet, Erwin's Matt sometimes feels as if he's walked in from another movie, while Sokoloff and Matarazzo have a ball with their zinger lines. Playing the aptly named Very Drunk Chick, Rachel Dratch is a lot less funny than she usually is, but proves that she's a comic thesp with no shame.
Production package mimics the bright look of studio teen and college comedies, but at a noticeably lower pricetag. Music selections abound in cleverness, ranging from re-dos of Janis Ian to Britney Spears.

Between Love & Goodbye (2008)


Between Love & Goodbye (2008)

Director: Casper Andreas
Scenario: Casper Andreas
Genre: Drama
Country: USA
Year: 2008
Duration: 97 min
Rating: 6.5/10

Actors: Simon Miller, Rob Harmon, Ryan Turner, Austin Head, Jane Elliott, Justin Tensen, Caroline Delran, Aaron Michael Davies, Kenny Wade Marshall, Jared Gertner, Mich Lyon, Mackenzie Shivers, Sabrina Samone, Carol Carter, Peter Chien Jr.





Šta vam treba ako želite da odete u ameriku? Jedan od recepata izgleda ovako:
1 peder koji je zaljubljen u vas
1 lezbijka koja pristaje da se uda za vas
- Svi njihovi prijatelji

Znači kada odete u ameriku , prvo što uradite je da se udate za lezbijku. Pazite samo da ne izgleda muškije od vas! Nije lijepo za viđet, da vam se ne začude roditelji kada im šaljete fotografije!

Zatim morate da naučite sve o vašoj ljubljenoj, kako joj se zovu roditelji, gdje žive, u koju školu je išla , u kje gradove je sve živjela, dje ima mladež, đe radi.... ma sve živo morate da znate o njoj! Ako nije pričljiva pitajte njenu đevojku , ta sigurno zna sve! A i njoj recite sve o sebi, pa neka joj prenese sve o njenom mužu!
Srećom u ovom filmu za to nije bilo potrebe jer je lezbijka sama sve naučila , a i nije baš mutava.
I tako dobijate zeleni karton! Imate brak, dečka i prijatelje, još samo danađete posao i uživajte srečno do kraja života!

Tako izgleda idila iz ovog filma! Uz dosta romantične muzike , malo seksa, malo golotinje, i drugih začina kako bi priča bila ukusnija za gledaoce i dosta reklama, jer se ipak radi o novom prehrambenom proizvodu namjenjen pretežno gay populaciji!
Zaista nje bitno , što su glumci u ovom filmu prilično amaterski odradili svoje uloge (izuzimam ženu lezbejku) Sve je to tako dobro upakovano da je zaista teško ne kupiti i otvoriti ambalažu.

Mada sve bi izgledalo mnogo privlačnije da se znalo ko je kod onog gay para muško , a ko žensko. Ovako nekako mi neprirodno da žena jebe muža, a nekima se može učiniti da je to ipak seks između dvije lezbijke! No to je stvar izbora i afiniteta!
Film me podsjetio na vrijeme kada sam skoro bio u braku sa jednim momkom. Taman sam ga bio predstavio mami i porodici i mislio da sam srećan u braku, kad se na žalost ispostavilo da ne možemo da imamo đecu. A đe nema đece brak obično propada. Tako je to.

A scena u filmu đe jedan od njih dvojice priznaje prevaru me je rasplakala. Pita ga on, pa jeste li imali seks? A ovaj drugi odgovara: Ne definitivno nismo, samo mi je pušio. A ti jesi li njemu pušio? Predpostavljam da jesam, samo malo! Sva sreča te nisu imali sex!

Nije loš film za odgledati ga kada nemate druga pametnija posla! Možda je najbolje odgledati ga nakon dobrog seksa, pa onda onako opušteno i dremljivo slušati muziku koja će se vjerujem pojaviti na svjetskim gay top listama! :)))

http://www.nycmovieguru.com/jan30th.html#betweenlove&goodbye


After Marcel (Justin Tensen) flies in from France to get married to Sarah (Jane Elliott) in New York City, Marcel goes off to his musician boyfriend, Kyle (Simon Miller) and makes out with him. It turns out that Sarah’s a lesbian while Marcel and Kyle are both gay lovers and the only reason he and Sarah got married was so that he could get a green card. In a rather implausible scene, Kyle and Sarah go to the Department of Immigration to prove that they’re married and both of them struggle to answer certain questions seem uncomfortable during the interrogation, yet they’re somehow able to fool them.

Just when Marcel moves into Kyle’s apartment, April (Rob Harmon), a transsexual prostitute, moves in as well. Will Kyle be able to give equal attention to both Marcel and April or will there be some sort of a conflict involving jealousy? Marcel clearly wants to spend more time with Kyle and thinks that April’s getting in the way, but the way he deals with his problem so aggressively and insultingly seems very immature and selfish to Kyle as well as to the audience. Soon enough, their relationship hangs on thin ice that could break any second. April has problems of her own when her body doesn’t accept her new breast implants, so she has them removed, shaves her head and decides to go back to being a man again. Despite a terrific ensemble cast that adds some much-needed energy to the film, writer/director Casper Andreas’ uneven, occasionally stilted screenplay falls somewhat flat in the romance, drama and comedy departments. On a positive note, Andreas includes a well-chosen soundtrack and smooth, stylish cinematography. The flashbacks showing how Kyle and Marcel had first met at a club, however, don’t help to give the audience a sense of why they’re truly in love with one another. What makes their connection beyond a physical attraction?

Why do Marcel and Kyle behave so naively, especially when Kyle decides o distance himself away from him? It’s as though they’re both still stuck in their teenage years and haven’t learned how to listen attentively to one another, to compromise or to articulate their feelings respectfully for that matter. Their rudeness and jejuneness get on your nerves more often than not. Moreover, both of their actions in the third act feel out-of-character and make them quite unlikable. The only remaining character who remains likable and charismatic throughout happens to Sarah, but there aren’t enough scenes with her. Had she been the protagonist instead and with a more organic and witty screenplay, Between Love & Goodbye would have been much more engaging rather than often dull, contrived and unmoving. It also doesn’t help that its abrupt ending leaves you with a bad aftertaste.

NOAH'S ARC - Seasson 1 and 2 (2004 )






Američka TV stanica LOGO je prije 3 godine emitovala seriju Noah's Arc. Serija je bila veoma popularna medju gay populacijom, a zvali su je crnački Queer as folk, mada je po meni daleko bolja od ovog pomenutog serijala. Na žalost iz nikom poznatih razloga nakon druge sezone bez ikakvog objašnjenja serija je prekinuta.
Uslijedila su mnoga pitanja u vezi toga, pa čak i mnogobrojna otkazivanja pretplate na taj kablovski kanal od strane ljutih gledalaca.
Možda je i to razlog zašto je danas najpopularniji gay kanal u US HereTV.


Ovdije vam postavljam linkove za skidanje prvog serijala.

Preporučujem da ga pogledate.

Noah's Arc is an American cable television program. Often referred to as a comedy-drama, the show integrated socially-relevant issues such as same sex dating, same sex marriage, HIV awareness, infidelity, sexual curiosity, promiscuity, gay bashing and same sex parenthood. It had parallels to and had been cited as an African-American version of the shows Sex and the City, Queer as Folk, The Golden Girls and has also been cited as a gay version of the shows Living Single and Girlfriends.

Overview

Set in Los Angeles, the show features the lives of four male African-American homosexual friends dealing with everyday trials, tribulations, triumphs and tragedies. Noah's Arc premiered on October 19, 2005 on the Logo television network. The series was Logo's most popular program. Season one was filmed in Los Angeles. Season two was filmed in Vancouver, Canada.

The show arose from humble beginnings. The pilot was produced independently and, to assist in funding each episode, the show was originally envisioned as a DVD subscription series. During the pilot filming, Rodney Chester's (who portrays Alex) own truck was used for the actors to have their make-up, hair and wardrobe fittings. Logo pursued the series after the pilot was well-received at film festivals, independent circuits and special screenings. Some scenes from the original pilot were either re-shot or removed for airing on Logo. The original pilot is included in the season one DVD release. The opening credits theme song is "Remember Love" (Samba Mix) by Adriana Evans.

On the Other Hand : A Donald Strachey Mystery


On the Other Hand : A Donald Strachey Mystery

Lično nisam ljubitelj Donalda Stracheya, ali sam dobio podosta mailova sa zahtjevom da u blog ubacim i ovaj film.

Detektivska priča u kojoj je detektiv peder koji živi sa jednim šarmantim likom se vrti oko dvije lezbijke koje su izložene maltretiranju . One su ujedno jedine u susjedstvu koje su odbile da prodaju kuću nekim investitorima za veliku sumu novca. Neko im ubacuje kamenje kroz prozor, piše anti pederske pamflete po zidovima i radi slične pakosti.
Ali tu je čuveni detektiv Donald Strachey koji sumlja da iza svega toga ne stoji homofobija već veliki biznis...

Film ne obiluje nekim nagim scenama, skoro da nema ništa što bi nam zaokupilo pažnju osim par scena u kojima je stidljivo prikazana golotinja. Penis nećete viđeti u ovom filmu. A gluma je na nivou ostalih filmova iz ovog detektivskog serijala - srednje loša.

Al ajde neka ga svrstamo u kategoriju filmova koje će mo pogledati kada nemamo pametnija posla!

SYNOPSIS

When the residents of a neighborhood are offered huge sums of money to sell their homes to a developer, the only ones to refuse are an elderly lesbian couple. Soon after, the couple’s home is besieged by anti-gay vandalism, but Don suspects that the attack is motivated by big-business rather than homophobia. As the investigation progresses, Tim and Don fall in love all over again, as strengthened by their admiration for the elderly lesbian couple.

Gay Detective as it should be played while watching this movie on the HERE! network, I came to realize that no one else could play the lead role except Chad Allen. While the movie pace is relatively slow in nature - it must after all build to the ending - it does so in just slow enough pace to make you want to pull your hair out.

Casting is decent all around - his up-tight husband is borderline annoying, and the gay secretary is becoming more annoying than in the last movie. The hot ex of the husband plays into the gay fear of the hot ex putting the make on the current husband...but it rather backfires on him as he becomes a target himself.

The last 40 minutes of the movie are the best part of the movie - you can almost skip through the first part as the pacing is too slow. But once the shooting starts and the music quickens - the pace of the movie goes into a much needed overdrive! They are currently filming another movie in the series - let's hope that they can pace the next one better - but this one is not too shabby all around - just needs a slightly higher quality of scripts!

Carícies (1998) aka Caresses (USA)


Carícies (1998) aka Caresses (USA)

Jedva odgledah ovaj film, valjda sam bio previse umoram za ovako čudan film. Film se sastoji od 11 priča u kojima uvjek jedan karakter pređe unarednu priču. Valjda zbog umora ili me već godine stižu, ja sam zapamtio samo 10 priča. pa evo tih 10, a vi ako vas interesuje đe su mi se izgubila jedna odgledajte film kako treba.

1.Film počne sa svadjom jednog bračnog para đe On ošamari Nju, pa ga ona isprebija i naćera da ode kod komšinice da uzme ulje za salatu.

2. Ona priča sa starom majkom koja se žali kako je sama.

3.Stara majka u domu za matorce pleše tango sa drugaricom, koja joj opali žvaku.

4. Ova što joj je opalila žvaku ode kod beskućnika kojemukaže da smrdi.

5. Beskućnik spava na ulici i dolazi klinac da ga opljačka. Klinac mu ispriča priču kako je sa drugarom uzeo drogu i kako su trošili novac i drogirali se sa drugarima ulicama grada.


5. Klinac se kupa u kadi, ulazi mu otac. Počinje priča između njih dvojice pri kojoj klinac svako malo zove oca da uđe u kadu, otac na kraju uđe u kadu, a klinac komentariše kako otac ima veći kurac od njega i kako je dlakaviji.

Scripter Sergi Belbel and director Ventura Pons based this film on Belbel's 1991 play, structured in a fashion similar to Arthur Schnitzler's La Ronde (1900) and Richard Linklater's Slacker (1991): Two character set-ups feature one character from each scene turning up in the next scene, and so on, as a variety of people parade through diverse romantic and sexual situations. Cars careen about via an altered camera speed to provide the linkages between the 11 interlocking scenes. Shown at the 1998 Berlin Film Festival.
Eleven episodes portray different encounters in a large city during the course of a single night towards the end of the millennium. A young man wants to stop living together with a young woman because he believes that they no longer have anything to say to each other. The young woman goes to visit her mother, an elderly woman. She lives with an old lesbian who meets her homeless brother. She asks him to forgive her for having seduced his wife all those years ago, but the brother pretends not to know who she is. A young boy attacks the homeless man. At first he tells him about his wild nights, then he knocks him to the ground and steals the old man's ring. At home the young boy has a bath and asks his father to join him in the tub. The boy's father has a girlfriend, a young woman. He intends to end their relationship... Eleven interlocking scenes that involve two characters, one of whom carries forward into the next scene, until the chain comes full circle.

Disi Duboko , Take a Deep Breath (2004)




Disi Duboko , Take a Deep Breath (2004)


Kao što sam najavio ubuduće ču vam na blogu predstavljati i filmove sa lezbijskom tematikom. Prvi film na tu temu je Diši Duboko, režisera Dragana Marinkovića. Film je lako gledljiv i nekako prepoznatljiv u našem svakodnevnom okruženju. Jebena borba za svoje mjesto pod suncem pa makar to bilo i negdje u Parizu , Kanadi ili na kraj svjeta često nam drastično mjenja živote, a kada uz to dodamo sukob generacija, neuobičajene emocije i pad morala, sve se pretvara u jednu pravu dramu kao što je ovaj film!

Saša, beogradska studentkinja Prava, saopštava roditeljima da će se sa dečkom Stefanom, iseliti u Kanadu. Iste noći, Saša i Stefan doživljavaju saobraćajnu nesreću. Saša se budi u bolnici i upoznaje šarmantnu i lucidnu Stefanovu sestru Lanu, fotografkinju iz Pariza. Stefan se oporavlja u bolnici.
Saša je šokirana saznanjem da njena majka Lila, ima ljubavnika. Lana, osoba koja dokazuje da je život ponekad više - igra, postaje Sašina bliska prijateljica, sa kojom deli mnoga osećanja i tajne.
Sašin otac, poznati sudija, bezuspešno pokušava da zadrži familiju na okupu. U sred tog familijarnog haosa, Saša započinje ljubavnu vezu sa sestrom svog dečka.

2 Minutes Later (2007)


2 Minutes Later (2007)


01.20 h Tek toliko da znate koliko je stai dok ovo kucam. Nećete vjerovati ali ovaj film sam odgledao kao da se radi o vrhunskom remek djelu, a ne o jeftinom petparačkom gay krimiću. Razlog: pa film obuluje nagim muškim thelima, a i sviđa mi se glavni glumac, koji glumi fotografa koji slikava uglavnom muškarce.
Uz to u filmu ima i seksa , pederkog seksa naravno! Ni lezbejke nisu izostavljene, mada se većina pedera gadi lezbijki. Ko da bi im ruka otpala da pipnu malo pičke! Glavna lezbejka je detektivka, koja uz pomoć glavnog glumca pedera traži ubicu njegovog brata. Nasmijao sam se kad sam je vidio kako onako mršava i jadna vadi pištolj i obračunava se sa gnjusnim zločincem.
Nemojte da vas ovo obesrabri, film spada u onu jeftinu low cost klasu, pa mu je sve oprošteno. Bez obzira na sve to film je gledljiv i siguran sam da će te se zabaviti gledajući ga! E da i ne drkajte ga , nego gledajte film!

"2 Minutes Later" is a crime-fighting/comedy film with some flesh and sex (not excessive, but certainly more than necessary). It tried to equal the sex & violence quotient seen in similar 'straight' films. This film's director, who was present the night I attended, got on stage before the film screened, and said that his film was meant just as fun entertainment; nothing more, nothing less. -- and to the person who accompanied me to this screening, that's what it was. To me it was just a gay reworking of many straight suspense films, with a major plot element (spoiler) borrowed from "Blow-Up." It had a fair amount of tepid comedy added into the mix, justifying the director's statement that it could be called 'light entertainment.'

Probably to the chagrin of the filmmaker present (and to the management of the fabulous Tampa Theatre, a splendidly renovated 'atmostpheric,' built in 1926) the film was shown through the wrong lens. What I mean is, it appears to have been a film that may have been produced with an aspect ratio of 1:1.85, but it was shown thru' a 1:1.33 lens. Everyone was just a bit too thin, too tall, --and all the cars were a foot, or so, more compact. I tried to ignore this technical problem (which wasn't easy) and see the film the way it's producer intended me to. It had it's fun moments, some suspense, and I almost enjoyed it, until "The End" credit came on-screen with a question mark (?) added after a few seconds, a la "The Blob."

The leading lady, who was also present in the theater that night --and accompanied the filmmaker on stage before the curtain went up, was the best actor in this film. As improbable as her character was, her lines were better than those of the leading man, --who was likely chosen for his shy boy-next-door 'look' rather than for any acting ability. I'm not knocking him, nor the filmmaker, nor anyone else associated with this production. It was obvious that the budget wasn't big, but neither was the thought put into this. Better films have been made on smaller budgets.

And it seemed to me that it borrowed an awful lot of bits and pieces from many other films, --besides the obvious big 'bit' borrowed from "Blow-Up."

Overall, a mediocre effort. I rated it 5.

Broken Sky (El Cielo Dividido) 2006 repost


Broken Sky (El Cielo Dividido) 2006


Dva studenta Gerardo and Jonás započinju strastvenu ljubavnu vezu i uživaju u njoj sve dok Gerardo ne postane opsjednut drugim momkom, Sergiom.
Ovaj Meksički film obiluje emocijama, seksualnim nabojem, scene hipnotičkog plesa u discoteci...

Iako je film titlovan na engleskom, u filmu nema mnogo riječi, scene govore same za sebe, tako da se film proživljava sa lakoćom.
Svakako ga preporučujem jer većina ljudi proživi osjećaj strasti, ljubavi i na kraju odbacivanja.

Also Known As: Broken Sky (USA)
Runtime: 140 min
Country: Mexico
Language: Spanish

English:

Broken Sky works like a silent film. There is a soundtrack, but roughly, only 2 pages of character-to-character dialogue over it's entire 140 minutes. Director Julian Hernandez turns that into an opportunity to fill the screen with sensual imagery and camera movements that emote louder than words. Watching Broken Sky is a reminder to the eyes, and an argument for why you should avoid bathroom breaks.

In 2003 Julian Hernandez made his first feature, a student film, A Thousand Clouds of Peace. I don't remember it or Broken Sky getting any theater runs outside of New York. So big thanks are due to Strand Releasing for putting both out on crisp DVD (it makes up for Strand's release of the homophobic, self-hating Two Drifters last year).

Beyond anything else, Broken Sky is a love story between Gerardo and Jonas. Hernandez extends the time they share by filming in long shots and tracking shots. Some of the tracking shots only move 6 feet, but it's essential in locking in on the eternity of the moment. The rooms and hallways and streets of Broken Sky are of the modern world, but Hernandez makes us feel like we're in la-la land, walking around with tunnel-of-love vision.

But as the title suggests, Broken Sky isn't just a love story, it's a lovesick story too. Post-breakup, the camera moves in, especially on Gerardo. The freckled skin on his back once looked like that of a marble statue, but in grief, it stretches a bit and wears the age of a pock-marked old man.

More than twice, a scene is as simple as a hand on a shoulder (this made me think of the finale in M where a man puts his hand on Peter Lorre's shoulder in a sign of compassion). With two bodies and their eyes, these actors say more silent than a monologue in the rain by Ben Affleck. Props to Julian Hernandez for saying so much with so little and making the viewer feel every moment of it.
