Bene Cumb In general, I tend to prefer "all-round" movies, covering wider spectrum in society, but, for comparison, it is sometimes good to watch a movie dedicated on different minorities (sexual, national, spiritual, etc.). The movie in question captivated me from the beginning: talented composition, distinct directing, sensitive and "indecent" topics dealt with discretion and sympathy (in fact, in many ways, it reminded a British movie to me).Moreover, the characters seemed realistic, performances were good, and the issues those gays had to deal were more universal, characteristic to modern Western societies: alienation, loneliness, hedonism, fear of commitment, financial disparity.Thus, I wonder, how a remake for/by straight people could appear, substantially widening the audience otherwise conservative towards sexual minorities. True, there are other topics not liked by many (prostitution, slackness), but the movie itself is a pleasant example of approaching "abnormal" topics in a "normal" manner.

onthejazz-589-452380 Boy Culture is refreshing, entertaining, unpredictable and addictive. There is so much right about this movie. From the choice of actors, use of the 7 Deadly Sins, the tone of the witty narration, dialog, public service announcement and family oriented dynamic, makes this the best movie I have ever seen.The world from the storyteller's perspective is riveting and insightful. But none more than how he compares with the Virgin Mary.Ten minutes in, I wanted to know who wrote this witty dialog and created such a complex character in such a relaxed style. The genius with how he connects the characters objectives with their role in the dynamic is inspiring.His use of analogies is overflowing with each executed so brilliantly that this becomes more than just superb story telling. It is a uniquely introspective masterpiece of epic proportion.I finally understand how someone can watch a movie over and over, without there being years between viewings. And for the first time I can say I have without question a favorite movie.

milanpthecharming Got what i expected.The lines of this movie CRAVED to be called smart. I was expecting that the movie will freeze every moment, someone will pop out and state: 'Wow, this was smart'.The character of X was so unconvincing that i wanted to slap him out of the movie. The guy looks like a freaking teddy bear while he was supposed to be an ice queen! I mean come on! (I could talk about how wrong his character is for days, but unfortunately i can't, not here.) The story of him and Andrew was unnecessarily complicated by so called 'tricks' and it annoyed me very much. Andrew never justified the attention and such an important place he got in the whole setting. Gregory's character was quite good, on the other hand. Still a bit too pretentious, but very good nevertheless. Joey was fun to watch, infused the setting with life and created needed quarrel.Now, the thing that annoyed me the most: 'Forgive me father..' SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP Honestly, it didn't feel witty even the first time! I don't know whoever thought that it could be a good, clever leitmotif... It was just a nuisance. Every time X started the sentence with 'Forgive me..', i've had urge to vomit.In the end, i want to admit that this movie isn't a total disaster, cause, after all, i did shed a tear in the end. Cheap shot, Q. Allan Brocka.

greymichael45 I do not think of myself as a prude and having lived in gay neighborhoods in LA and San Francisco I feel I am very aware of the gay scene but I found the story superficial, tiring and not inspiring. I am tired of every gay movie being all about sex and no feelings. I also wish a character could have a real job like a lawyer, doctor or scientist and do they always have to be a male hustler? There are smart gay people who go to Harvard or wherever and change the world you just don't here about it because you don't know their gay because their lives are about more than just their sexuality. The acting was good and "X" was hot but the guy had issues and who would want to be with someone that just uses people. In 2010, it would be nice if gay movies reflected the real diversity of gay culture and not the typical hustler stereotypes. Life is about more than the size of your biceps thank god.
