How should a gay movie about self-identification be made? It’s about the treatment of fighting against religious beliefs and antagonistic corrections like "A Safe Haven"; or about the love of youth and the yearning of the heart like "Love, Simplicity".

Today female director Eliza Hitman brings us a unique perspective of the same movie "Beach Mouse". The reason why it is called unique perspective is that it starts from the heart of a deep cabinet boy and tells his inner doubts, anxiety, excitement and longing. This is a movie that makes every comrade who has been or is in the deep cabinet know how to strike.

The story takes place in Brooklyn, New York. The father of Frank, a young man in the deep cabinet, is dying of cancer. His boring life makes him taciturn and thinks about himself. On the sidewalk of the fireworks in summer, he befriended the sexy girl Simone, and on the website where comrades gathered, he met the mature uncle Joe. From then on, the troubles of the young Frank's summer began.

When he had sex with a girl for the first time, he couldn't stand it up, so he could only lie that he was hit by drugs. When the girl took off the bra, he didn't pay attention to the girl's breasts. When the girl asked him if he was not beautiful, he put the bra on his chest and asked her, "Do you think I am beautiful?"

The first time I met with a netizen, he was excited, took a shower, cut his pubic hair, and checked his body repeatedly. At the same time, he, who is upset, will worry that the other party does not like him, and will be afraid that the other party will be a bad person to cheat money and swindle.

In the first field battle in the woods, the dodge when the skin touches, the hormones under the haze of smoke, accompanied by the sound (groan) of the waves, all the excitement and shyness are intertwined.

Unlike the previous same movie about self-identity, "Beach Mouse" does not focus on the beliefs of bitterness and hatred, and rarely mentions the discrimination of secular prejudice. Instead, it focuses on the doubts of the deep cabinet teenagers: when you like to associate with girls, I wonder if this is love or not; when I yearn for a male body, I wonder if I can have sex with a woman; when I am having sex with a comrade, I wonder if I am offensive or not; when I am with my friends, I wonder if I can confide in them. .

"Beach Mouse" is the most delicate, sexiest, and most close to the hearts of gay people, becoming a gay movie in 2017 that can be side by side with "Call Me by Your Name", "120 Strikes Per Minute" and "The Kingdom of God" .

Beach Rats quotes

  • Simone: Two girls can make out and it's hot, but when two guys make out, it's gay.

  • Michael: In gay men, the pointer finger is almost always longer than the ring finger. In straight men, the ring finger is almost always longer than the pointer finger.
