"Bent" is a good film, some people can easily see from the script, and some people from the choice of actors. Whether it's Ian McKellen, Clive Owen or Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, they are all well-known talents in the shadow world. They don't care how famous they are, but are in every look in the film, and even every touch of the fingers. As for the script, everyone knows that it was adapted from a British stage play. Many European countries have lower restrictions on gays than in the United States. This is why the real, gay movies without romantic whims are almost all from Europe, not a major film country.
There is always a lot of helplessness in feelings related to war, and it is often a panic from the twisted slits. This is the case for "Yossi&Jagger" and the same is true for "Bent". It's just that the former is social pressure, while the latter is a threat of death. Feelings are not all of life. Max in the film knows this well, so he abandons his lover and chooses to stay on his side. Many people compare it to the self-esteem of comrades, and personally think that it is more appropriate to call it human self-esteem. The reason why I chose to die in the end was probably the kind of despair that I would never get happiness, not only because I was a comrade, but also because I was in that era.
Greta confided his feelings while carrying the stone, but Max categorically refused: "Hate me, but don't love me." Out of inertia of fear, there are similar plots in "Maurice". The protagonist who is ruining the future just can't accept Maurice's love, or love can be, but don't express it verbally or in behavior. The risks generated by that way are not enough to offset the joy brought by emotions.
There is a very interesting character, Rudy, who has a strong exclusivity to Max, so he will sprinkle water on the clothes of the one-night stand with his lover, stamp his feet angrily, and even have the urge to smash things, but still Can't help but gently stroke Max's forehead, showing concern for his discomfort after knocking the medicine. A film can't spread all the plots, many things are just clickable, but such small actions are indispensable. Once the description is completed, the delicate emotional world can serve the main line.
There is also a description of the drag queen in the film, in a small part of the opening. Only those who are unrestrained and unrestrained can survive. Just like that fire, what burns is proof of cross-dressing and reveals a strong hope for survival. Just as the father of "Father and Son" seems to have the courage to continue living in safety with his son only if he refuses. The snow at the end of the film and the fire in "Bent" all hint at the mood of the characters in the film.
Now let’s talk about Jude Law. It seems that both British and American public lovers have made gay films (Hugh Grant, Keanu Reeves, etc.). If Law is only a supporting role in "Bent", a character who blurs his true sexual orientation, then His performance in "Wilde" is a real shot. The handsome guy always has to prove that he is not a vase, but unfortunately, through these two videos, I didn’t see where he succeeded (except for the face that is indistinguishable from the male and female after make-up). Similarly, Grant and Reeves are there. The other half also robbed the limelight of the selected films. But it’s okay, there are always so many eye-catching characters in the film, bringing a lightness of lightness to heavy or deep contemplation.
It is also a description of gay feelings, and it seems that it is not possible to put it on the screen without a little weird or unpredictable. Even "Temps qui reste", which I personally like very much, cannot escape the end of death. It cannot be denied that this is very eye-catching, but the real gay world seems to be more casual and peaceful. I look forward to more good life movies coming out, and the effect should be as good as "Queer as Folk" because it is ordinary and real to make people watch. Feel uncomfortable.
