‘A Chorus Line’ is a film that encompasses the various themes of sexuality, love, romance, and relationships. It also serves as a more contemporary coming-of-age story since it highlights the many nuances of teenage sexuality. For some, it can be an extremely challenging and consuming phase of their lives. ‘Giant Little Ones’ seeks to highlight how the journey of coming out – and exploring one’s sexuality – is not always rainbows and butterflies. When an inebriated Ballas tries to initiate something sexual with an equally intoxicated Franky, things take a turn for the worse as the former spreads rumors about the latter to cover up for potentially being “outed” by his own actions. But one night changes everything for them. Popular best friends Franky Winter and Ballas Kohl are like two peas in a pod they have been so ever since they were kids. The film is surely going to tug at your heartstrings, and it may also lead to an informative discussion should you choose to watch it with your loved ones as well. In the process, Joe learns – and unlearns – many things, especially when Jadin commits suicide. Directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green, the plot revolves around Joe Bell (Mark Wahlberg), a father who embarks on a cross-country walk to raise awareness and campaign against bullying after finding out his own son, Jadin, is routinely harassed in high school because he is gay.
‘Joe Bell’ is a biographical film that houses a very special and poignant true story in the narrative. Again, here’s the list of some really good LGBTQ movies on Amazon Prime. This list consists of all kinds of gay films: from love stories to serious dramas to sad films. You can just invite him/her to your house and turn on Amazon Prime.
So, if you are planning to watch a gay film with your loved one, you don’t need to go to a theatre. Netflix, of course, has the lion’s share of eyeballs, but Amazon Prime is not far behind. With the emergence of online streaming services, nowadays, people prefer watching movies sitting in the comforts of their homes. No one here will comment on this, since Brokeback Mountain seems to have “stoned” gay audiences on the same stupid cool-aid.In its large collection of movies, Amazon Prime houses a lot of lesbian and gay films. And PLEASE don’t do the “duh, they were a product of their times and they WERE trapped.” That excuse dooms everyone into never getting free, doing their work, waking up – and DOING BETTER.
And that movie was made so excruciatingly “pretty” by Ang Lee, so as to be even more powerful in delivering its hokey but destructive stereotypes. And how hilariously dated, with Gay Marriage cooking all over just a few years later. For Brokeback reinforced the Belief (probably among all too many stuck gay people TOO), that gay love is Tragic, Hopeless and Doomed.
It DRIPPED in gay stereotypes, in its quest (perhaps unconscious) to deliberately (or cynically) let fear-based, straight mom-n-pop movie-goers feel all warm and “sympathetic” for us “poor tortured gay dears.” What a SWEET story. I wish more gay people would just GET what a disgusting anti-gay perpetration Brokeback Mountain was.
