Description:

Nekako sam se ovih dana i previše naslušao raznih rasprava o osnovnim ljudskim pravima kao što su pravo na različitost, pravo na život itd. Sve to spada u današnje civilizacijske tekovine, a kako je to izgledalo u prošlosti možemo vidjeti preko mnogobrojnih filmova, knjiga itd
U Srbiji i dan danas pojam Kozaka je nešto sveto. Naprosto ruski kozaci su časni borci za pravdu i tačka. Nema rasprave o tome.

Skoro niko nezna istorijat nastanka kozaka i šta su oni u jednom istorijskom trenutku predstavljali. Ko klinac sam maštao kako sa ostalim kozacima jašem nekog konja kroz ruska bespuća, a kasnije su mi bili omiljena masturbatorska tema!
Ovaj film se dobro potrudio da mi razbije sve te fantazije. Kozaci su bili borci za odrbranu vjere, crkve i države i pri tome njihova tolerantnost je bila ravna nuli. Nevjernike su ubijali i pljačkali bez obzira da li se radilo o ženama, dijeci ili muškarcima.
Sva sreća ovaj film se toga ne dotiče inače se nebi našao na ovom blogu.
Film nam priča priču o bratskoj ljubavi nastala u nužnoj simbiozi koja brači onogućava da prežive u siromašnom ruskom okruženju.
Jakub (Adrien Jolivet) i Vladimir (Grégoire-Leprince Ringuet) su dva brata, koja lutaju po selima, prseći i radeći za hranu kako bi preživjeli. U jednom selu nailaze na Kozake koji traže nove regrute, Jakuba je odmah privukla njihova ponuda jer bi im to osiguralo toplu odjeću i hranu. Mlađi i više krhak Vladimir je skeptičan, ali u svemu prati brata. Ubrzo se nađu u sadističko ustrojenom kozačkom logoru gdje je Jakub dokazuje svoju vještinu kao konjanik, a Vladimir biva brutalno silovan od strane ostalih regruta. Prisiljen braniti brata, Jakub sa Vladimirom biva zatvoren u neku smrdljivu rupetinu, al na kraju ipak uspjevaju položiti kozačku zakletvu. Prvo kozačko krštenje im je kada sudjeluju u jednom napadu na neko selo u kojemu nikoga ne ostavljaju živog, uključujući i žene i dijecu.
Sa druge strane kozačke granice,( film ne ne precizira gdje je to), Roman (Grégoire Colin) i njegov mlađi brat Ilija (François-René Dupont) žive kao konjokradice. Roman je veliki tvrd momak, a mnogo mlađi i hromi Elias, sa posebnim nemuštim darom prema konjima, treba stalnu zaštitu. Žive u nekom jedva nastanjenom krajoliko i sigurni su sve do dana kada su ukrali Jakubovog i Vladimirovog konja, pri čemu ubijaju Vladimira. Nadalje film nam priča priču o osveti, borbi, i upornosti do samouništenja.
Ono što mi je nejasno zašto se film reklamira kao neki gay epsko homoerotični film, kada to ustvari nije. Ničega tu gay tematski nema. Uz toliku pompu po gay filmskim festivalima i reklamom koja ne odgovara samoj suštini filma zasigurno će odvratiti publiku kao što su pripadnici OBRAZA i drugih fašistički zabludelih gledatelja.
Šalu na stranu film je strastven al ne u ljubavi muškarca prema muškarcu nego čistoj bratskoj neiskvarenoj vezi. Nije loš za pogledati, ali ne očekujte neku gay epsku priču. Jedino iz tog razloga se našao na ovom blogu kao not gay themed movie!

A Study of Filial Devotion and Survival, 28 September 2008

Author: gradyharp from United States

Micha Wald has created a strong masculine drama as writer and director of 'VOLEURS DE CHEVAUX' (IN THE ARMS OF MY ENEMY), a film with a grand sweeping view of nineteenth century life in the region of Russia and has accomplished this with a very small budget, a cast a both unknown and new actors, and a production crew sensitive to place and atmosphere. For some reason the marketing of this film has been directed to a particular audience instead of emphasizing the broad spectrum of those who love epic dramas. It deserves very wide attention, as it is an excellent meditation on the rigors of filial love among the destitute of the period.
Part I: Him: Jakub (Adrien Jolivet) is the diminutive but strong older brother of Vladimir (Grégoire Leprince-Ringuet), a gentle and handsome young lad who depends on Jakub's 'parenting'. The two destitute brothers fend for themselves, dressed in rags, begging for food and work, until they encounter a group of soldiers who are enlisting young men to be Cossacks. Jakub sees the opportunity for food and shelter and 'belonging' and encourages Vladimir to join him in enlisting. The rigors of 'boot camp' drive Jakub to dangerous extremes and result in his being punished and imprisoned for varying periods of time while he still masters fighting techniques and equestrian skills: the more defenseless Vladimir falls victim to abuses at the hands of his fellow recruits. When Jakub discovers that Vladimir has been raped, he resorts to serious fighting and the two brothers are placed in a solitary confinement box. When their training period is over, the boys witness the brutality of the Cossacks as they slaughter innocent families, and this is the breaking point that drives them to desertion. They escape the Cossacks on stolen horses, but while bathing in a river, their horses are stolen.
Part II: Them: The horse thieves are two other impoverished brothers with a strong parallel - Roman (Grégoire Colin) is the stronger, pugilistic older brother who takes care of his younger brother Elias (François-René Dupont), a gentle lad crippled in youth by a goring from a ram but who maintains an ability to communicate with animals. They live humbly in a forest shack and an underground hideaway, and when they make their rare excursions into the village tavern, Roman jealously guards the more fragile Elias, threatening even the girl Virina (Mylène St-Sauveur) with whom Elias is infatuated. Using a combination of their skills, Roman and Elias steal the horses of Jakub and Vladimir, and the trail of vengeance begins.
Part III: Us: Both sets of brothers are needy and their destinies collide due to the theft of horses. Tragedies mount, both sets of brothers intensify their filial bond of compassion, but the older brothers fight to the death of one and in the end one of the brothers provides succor to the survivor of the other set of brothers and the ending leaves the audience to guess the future altered by violence and need.

Micha Wald draws powerful performances from his young cast of beautiful actors and with a minimum of dialogue ( in French with English subtitles) he creates wholly credible characters about whom we care very much. The cinematography by Jean-Paul de Zaetijd is superb and the haunting musical score by Jóhann Jóhannsson, Jeff Mercelis and Stephan Micus is rich in capturing the harmonies of the music of the period and the location. In all, this is a visually stunning film and a story that is subtle and touching and impressively sophisticated in the manner in which it is told. Highly recommended. Grady Harp

Description:

Jeste li nudista?
Na žalost ovaj francuski dokumentarac je bez prevoda, ali ljubitljima nagih tijela će ipak biti lijepo pogledati. Da budem iskren pojma nemam o čemu pričaju likovi iz ovog filma pa sam ga pogledao smišljajući sam o čemu pričaju :)))
Mnogi pederi su skloni da za sebe kažu da su nudisti. Ako biti nudista znači otići na nudističku plažu skinuti se go, uzeti neku knjigu i čitati uz pomno praćenje koga sve ima na plaži onda jesu. Međutim takva definicija nudizma je potpuno netačna. To se više može nazvati skinuti se go kako bi privukao pažnju i uz izvesni voajerizam "loviti" druge iste takve "nudiste" Još kada uz sve to dodamo začin u obližnjem žbunju u kojem se "isprobavaju" tuđi ekstremiteti ( uglavnom penisi, guze i usne šupljine) onda je to sve samo ne nudizam. To se samo može nazvati goli lov na muško meso, koji se od gay sauna i kupatila razlikuje samo po mjestu okupljanja.
Neću vam ođe pisati definicije naturizma, to pogledajte u wikipediji gdje je sve lijepo opisano.
A da li ste zaista naturista možete i sami znati ako iskreno odgovorite na nekoliko pitanja.

Da li volite sami provosditi vrijeme u prirodi goli?
Volite li goli biti u kući, sami ili u društvu ljudi koji vas seksualno ne zanimaju?
Da li bi ste organizovali večeru za mješovito društvo ( žene i muškarci) gdje bi svi bili goli, bez obzira na godine?
Kako se osjećate kada ste goli, a pored vas je jako zgodan goli muškarac?
Kako se osjećate kada ste goli a pored vas je gola osoba koja vam nikako nije simpatična niti erotski privlačna?
Volite li prirodu, sa svim njenim ljepotama i nedostacima ( bube, insekti i sl)?
Da li bi vam smetalo da vidite oca, brata, majku ili nekog blisku osobu golu?
Koliko ljudi kojima to ne smeta poznajete?

Odgovarajući na ova pitanja znaćete i sami da li ste naturista ili niste. Naprosto naturizam nema nikakve veze sa seksom. Naravno u svemu tome ima tolerantnog neupadljivog voajerizma i egzibicionizma, ali sve to mora biti upakovano u prihvatljive naturističke norme.
Za sebe mogu reći da sam nudista od svoje 11 godine, kada sam prvi put otišao sa ujakom na nudističku plažu. Naravno od tada pa do danas nikada nisam otišao tamo da bih nekog "navatao" već da bih vidio stare prijatelje koji u meni nikada nisu gledali parće mesa!

A kada odem na neko mjesto da bih pogledao izbor kobasica i ostalih mesnih proizvoda uz izvesnu spremnost za konzumaciju istih, onda to ne mješam sa naturizmom.
Interesantno je vidjeti kako izgledaju naturistička mjesta u drugim zemljama!

The naked truth about naturalism, 26 August 2005
Author: Marion88 from United States

Nudity is unsettling. Nudity fascinates. Nudity is exciting. As a matter of fact we tend to mix nakedness,sexuality, lifestyle and pleasure. Living Naked sorts out the concepts and tries to present us with the "naked truth" about naturalism. Through many testimonies, some very funny, some moving, through fascinating archive footage and a tour of the main naturist resorts in France and Germany. Living Naked explores, demystifies the taboos. Nor a voyeur, nor a proselyte, Director Robert Salis addresses the Adam or the Eve living inside of us. Just released on DVD in French, this is a unique must see feature film about naturalism.

Volite li gledati zgodne momke na plaži? Ako uživate u tome onda je ovo pravi film za vas. Iako se nemože svrstati u film gay tematike, film odiše nekom jedva primjetnom homoerotikom! Naravno tema filma to uopšte nije , niti se priča dotiče previše toga , osim ako ne računamo na prepucavanja tipa: pederu popusi mi kurac! ( ja bih odgovorio: peder ti popušio dabogda!)Medjutim sigurno je da se u tom pubertetskom dobu svaki muškarac susreće sa svojom homoseksualnošću. U to vrijeme sam sa skoro svim mojim drugovima drkao kurac gledajući slike iz časopisa, a sa mnogima od njih sam imao i nešto više!

Danas neke od njih srećem po gradu ( uh kako su poružnili) pa ih ponekad pecnem podsjećajući ih na to. Samo kažu nešto kao : Uh nemoj me podsjćati na to, na šta se ja uglavnom iskreno zagrcnem od smjeha!
A ima ih koji kažu mogli bi opet koji put. Pa zar da pokvarim lijepo sjećanje , ne dolazi u obzir! Uglavnom im to i kažem tako! A sa nekolicinom se ipak podsjećam! Onako drugarski ga izdrkamo, ponekad popušimo , popijemo piće , ispričamo se i idemo dalje.
Takav je život, svi se udubimo u neke svoje probleme.
Ovaj film dakle nije gay film a zbog čega se ipak našao na ovom blogu zaključite gledajući ga . Volio bih i vaš komentar na to!

Every second of surfing footage in this film is so mind-blowingly gorgeous, you won’t want to take your eyes off the screen. Which is good, because almost nothing else is going to grab your attention.

The Hoff family has three brothers: Jesse (Lachlan Buchanan) , a 17 year old wanna-be surfer, living in the shadow of former surf champion and half-brother Victor (Reshad Strik), whose life is in ruins due to a knee injury and a drinking problem; and Fergus (Xavier Samuel), who dies his hair purple, wears nail polish and Clash t-shirts, and is in the midst of discovering that he might be homosexual.


Opening with tryouts for a surf competition that would catapult the winner into the International circuit, the film meanders through the various struggles of the three boys and their friends, broken up by those gorgeous surfing shots mentioned earlier (and speaking of gorgeous, it’s worth noting that every young person in this movie is extremely good looking, and often nearly naked as well).



A turning point is reached when the teenagers decide to lie to their parents and take a camping trip on the beach to do what typical teenagers do: smoke pot, drink, have sex – and surf, of course. When Victor winds up at the same beach and finds Jesse practicing in order to be the next champion, egos rise and a fierce competition results in (highly predictable) tragedy.

Boca a boca (1995) aka Mouth to Mouth - Non gay movie

Boca a boca (1995) aka Mouth to Mouth

Ovo definitivno nije gay film, ali se nasao na ovom blogu prvenstveno zbog ljubitelja Javier Bardema. Naprosto nakon predhodnog filma "Bent" malo komedije nije na odmet. Još Španska produkcija, pa da vam 2 sata zaista prođe u trenu i da se malo razvedrite.
Jooj kako Javier dobro glumi onog momka što ga zovete telefonom , a on priča seksi priče. Phone sex mi gledajući njega postaje privlačan. Inače ovo je prvi film u kojem on nije peder, ali posao da svojim glasom seksualno zavodi nesretne pedere koji plaćaju vruće linije ga navodi da se "uživljava" i u takve uloge. Odlučna gluma, dobra režija i dosta humora čine ovaj film vrlo gledljivim.

Malo vulgarne terminologije, ovoj komediji daju na šarmu svakodnevnog života. Pogledajte ga u dokolici. Ako očekujete gomilu golotinje toga u ovom filmu nema.

Although the comic possibilities of phone sex have long since been exhausted, the Spanish farce "Mouth to Mouth" still gives this well-worn topic a try.

As in Spike Lee's "Girl 6," the main character is an aspiring actor who finds that auditioning for roles is no less humiliating than being paid to talk dirty to strangers, and that the phone job may actually be the more interesting professional challenge.

So Victor (Javier Bardem), who has the look of an overgrown schoolboy along with the hunky swagger of an Antonio Banderas wannabe, throws himself into this new form of acting exercise.

Just as Girl 6 dreamed of Dorothy Dandridge, he imagines himself as Travis Bickle at critical moments and turns the duties of phone sex into an escapist ploy. Manuel Gomez Pereira's film strives for escapism in its own uneasy way, mixing soft-core seduction with giddy pratfalls. For instance, there is a zipper mishap to interrupt one of several strained heavy-breathing episodes.

All of the characters in this Madrid-based story are predictably excitable, to the point where the film sorely needs the antic talents of Pedro Almodovar. When elaborate plot complications seem ready to raise the film to a fever pitch it never reaches one, despite the strenuous efforts of Bardem and the rest of the cast.

Events escalate once Victor, who took the phone sex job without expecting to meet Ms. Right, finds himself falling for a femme fatale named Amanda (Aitana Sanchez-Gijon), who is one of his elusive clients. She says that her husband has also had tele-sex with Victor, which naturally leads to ever more outlandish complications.

As it turns out, most of the characters are play-acting, which gives "Mouth to Mouth" (a catchier "Boca a Boca" in Spanish) its chance to weigh in on show business and artificiality.

One of the film's funnier bits has Victor being told by his spitfire of an agent (Maria Barranco) that he looks too American to land a role in a big American movie. To overcompensate for this, he turns up with open shirt and slicked-back hair, smoldering histrionically as he kisses the hand of an American talent agent. (The film's ear for vulgar Americanisms is notably weak, as when it gives this woman the line "Let's go, chap!")

Later on, Victor encounters a bratty American filmmaker whose combination of ignorance and arrogance makes an easy target. Victor launches into a furious diatribe in a restaurant after the boy wonder orders Coca-Cola, but he winds up impressing everyone with one more inadvertent show of his acting talent. Meanwhile, the film adds tranvestite waiters to this scene, sets some of its action in a phone sex disco and lets Ms. Sanchez-Gijon appear in blond, red and dark wigs at different moments. Despite these festive nods, the Almodovar touch has left the building and was never really here.

The Deep End (2001)

Ovaj film se baš i nebi mogao svrstati u neki gay film iako se zasniva na ubojstvu jednog ljigavog pedera.
U ovom blogu sam ga stavio samo zbog prelijpog Gorana Višnjića sa kojim bi vrlo rado završio u krevetu.
Mislim da će se mnogi pederi složiti samnom da je jako poželjan muškarac. Heheh ako Goran slučajno čita ovaj blog neka mi se javi!:)
Film naravno ima prijevod i možete ga skinuti Ovdje!

From Wikipedia:

The Deep End was a film written and directed by the team of David Siegel and Scott McGehee, released in 2001. It stars Tilda Swinton, Goran Višnjic', Jonathan Tucker and Josh Lucas and was released by Fox Searchlight Pictures. The film was adapted from the novel The Blank Wall by Elisabeth Sanxay Holding (previously adapted in Max Ophüls' film The Reckless Moment). The film premiered in competition at the Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Best Cinematography award (for cinematography by English cinematographer Giles Nuttgens).

Margaret Hall (Swinton) lives a seemingly serene middle-class life in Tahoe City, California. Her husband, Tom, is a pilot on the aircraft carrier USS Constellation. She is startled to discover that her son Beau, a high school senior, has been having a sexual affair with 30 year-old Reno, Nevada night club owner Darby Reese (Lucas). The affair becomes apparent when a drunken Beau wrecks his car returning from Reno one night. The next day, Margaret visits Darby's nightclub, The Deep End, to demand that he stay away from her son. Darby offers to stay away for $5,000. Margaret attempts to engage her son about his orientation to no avail. The two have an argument which culminates with Margaret forbidding Beau from visiting Reno again.

That night, Darby secretly visits Beau and the two meet in the boat house. Beau confronts Darby about asking his mother for money. The two argue, eventually coming to blows. As Beau flees back to the house, Darby leans on a railing which collapses. Darby falls below, impaling himself on an anchor.

The next morning, Margaret discovers Darby's body on the beach. She deduces that Beau and Darby had an altercation which resulted in Darby's death. In a panic, Margaret decides to get rid of the body by dumping it in a cove. The body is soon discovered and the police investigate it as a homicide. Soon after, Alex Spera confronts and blackmails Margaret with an illicit tape that Darby recorded of one of his sexual encounters with Beau. Alex demands $50,000 in 24 hours or he and his partner will turn the tape over to the police which would implicate Beau in Darby's "murder".

Orvel:
I think It's more triler than gay movie. Even one of main caracter is gay.
