Avis à la une
This movie moved me into doing this and though one movie may not make a difference and bring a change in the dogmatic perspectives of the society, ' every drop counts', right?
I absolutely loved the perspective. When I first watched the short, I was fascinated. Just to get one quick thing out of the way- I'm as straight as straight gets; I love men. That being said, I support the choice of every individual to love as they choose because love is a beautiful thing and everyone should have enough of it in their lives. So, when the tables are turned and the society accepts homosexuality and shuns heterosexuality, I was left to wonder how brutal life would have been. The hatred, the resentment, the unnecessary judgments, the violence, the constant fear. So, as I watched the central characters getting killed, maimed and abused, I sat there wondering what gives anyone the right to do all this in the name of their religion. How are these prejudiced people any different from the terrorists?
The acting was brilliant and the direction was superlative. I'm glad I randomly clicked on the short years back and I'm glad I happened to chance upon this title because it wasn't a movie that ever received the highlight it deserved.
So, if you're looking for something that would be different and enlightening- this movie would be a great start.
-Love should be all you need.
The movie is based on a simple, yet brilliant premise where it's society's norm for same gender couples to date and marry. Heterosexuality is taboo and those that seek relationships with the opposite gender are bullied and ostracized.
It really made me stop and think about what it would be like to be outcast for falling in love with my husband. I can't even imagine people thinking I'm gross or disgusting because of my simple relationship choice. As I heard the characters in the movie being bullied for being "heteros" it make me stop and think how often I've heard people in our society "insult" people using the term gay or fag with disapproving tones. Especially when I was younger.
Blake Cooper Griffin's performance as Bill Bradley was intense. You could literally feel the anger, disgust and tension towards Tyler Blackburn's, Ryan character who had a torrid love affair with Jude Klein, played by Briana Evigan.
Director Kim Rocco Shields, went to great lengths to show how the church can impact an entire community, and Elizabeth Rohm plays the perfect villain, who you really want to smack with her perfect white family values nonsense.
I found the direction to be remarkable and the the cinematography to be stunning. I'd highly recommend checking out this indie film if you're in the mood for a dramatic love story with a twist. Especially with all that's going on in the world right now with LGBT issues. It really makes you see things through a different lens. Great conversation piece.

Jude Klein: Hi.
Emily Curtis: Why do people hate us so much?
Jude Klein: I guess they don't understand love like ours. Maybe they never will.
Emily Curtis: Well... isn't our love the same as theirs?
Jude Klein: It is.
Emily Curtis: [after a beat] Maybe someone should teach them that.
