Oi do chun

I do think the movie that I would have given this movie a better rating. Problem is, that is just to explicit, especially in the first third of the movie. People who think "Brokeback Mountain" was too homo-erotic are in for "a treat here" (no pun intended). And while there is no actual penetration shown (I think, I couldn't bear watching all the "love scenes" between men shown in the movie).

Of course, this owed to the fact, that I don't read anything before I watch movies. But still, just because this depicts homo-erotic love, doesn't have to be just a movie for queer men. And seeing as the story as it is, actually is pretty good (therefor still a pretty good rating that it gets from me), about human needs it's a shame. Of course the movie stays true to itself by showing the love between men. And almost every love scene, does have something to say. And that's where some things go missing, dialog wise. The main character for example, said something about his mother, which was meant as a joke, but I didn't get it.

So if you can bear the sight of naked men and sexual situations between them, you will get treated to a story worth watching. The director seemed amused by my question after the screening of the movie and he seems like a nice guy, but this movie just wasn't something I actually would watch (again)

This film is about a gay man who works as a prostitute, and indulges in the world of drugs. He meets another man in the drug rehabilitation camp who transforms his life.

After reading the synopsis of "End of Love", I was under the impression of it being a gay romance story. In actual fact, the story is a dark, brutal and sad tale about drug abuse. It tells how Ming and his friends cannot get out of the socially deprived positions, which marginalise them into the path they walk into. It tells how drug abusers cannot break the cycle of self destruction, causing one nadir after another.

"End of Love" is better described as a film about a drug abuser, who happens to be gay. The gay storyline is actually of a subplot, that has no direct causal relationship to what happens to Ming.

This is probably the worst gay movie I've seen. It portrays gay men in the worst possible ways that only homophobic people can think of. This is the type of movies that parents who want to change their gay children's sexual identity can use as ways of scare tactics, conversion, and threatening. You can read its summary elsewhere as I find any minute spending on this movie, be it watching or reviewing or commenting is of minute of waste and disgust. Take my review as a dire warning.
