Holding the Man behind the scenes gags

2022-04-04 08:01

Holding the Man in the title of the film is actually a football term, which means pulling a person to block a foul.
Based on a true story, the film is based on the best-selling memoir of the same name by Australian author, actor and activist Timothy Conigrave. Timothy died on the tenth day of writing the book at the age of 34.
"Holding The Man" was published in 1995 and won the UN Human Rights Award that year. In 2003 the book was voted one of Australia's top 100 favorite books. It was adapted into a stage play in 2006 and was very popular.
At the end of the film, Tim says "Ci vedremo lassù, angelo" in Italian, which translates to "I'll see you there again, my angel".
The film's accolades include the Australian Film Critics Association Award for Best Actor (Ryan Cole) and second place at the Melbourne International Film Festival Feature Film Audience Choice Award, with numerous nominations.
Teenager Tim calls John on the same phone used by the original Timothy Conigrave, from Conigrave's childhood bedroom, provided to the crew by his sister Anna Davison.

Holding the Man short comments

The two hours are a bit rushed, the age of the school days is inconsistent, and the middle is weak, but after weakening the intensity and drama, it actually just shows a 15-year love that started from the school days, sweet quarrels and courage to break up and make up. Tim cried and said I felt like I killed someone I love. The real person at the end? Tim said that one of the things that kept me alive was the script, and the other was finishing the story of me and my lover. 10 days after writing, Tim died.

So yellow and violent. Even though I'm a big supporter of the LGBT movement, the same-sex pornography in this video still makes me a little nauseous. Maybe some of the clips are too explicit... 4 stars recommended for literary youth, 5 stars recommended for LGBT
