      simple i love you

      To be honest, this movie is not really my thing. The background of the film itself is the chaotic Colombian city of Medellin, full of violence, drugs, and death. The entire city is dark and restless in the film. Even the church gave off a faint burst of silence. In addition, the version I watched was really poor quality, so my mood was even worse.
          Coupled with the difference from the general film narrative, it has no exact main line. The old man wandered the city with the young man all...

      you won't kill those who love you


              The issues discussed in this film go far beyond being a "gay film".
              The first shock was when Alexis and Fernado ran into the punk musician on the street, ran up to him and killed him without saying a word. If nothing happened, it seemed inhumane. As Fernado said, he couldn't distinguish between thought and action, and was used to solving all problems with a gun.
             However, in the face of a wounded dog, Alexis has a quiver of soul, so that he can not pull the...

      Fernando Vallejo

      I actually watched this movie twice.
      Movie titans. It is also very literary, and there is room for intrigue in the camera and actors' performances,
      so people can't help but guess that it is probably based on a famous novel.

      When I watched it for the second time, I carefully watched the last set of subtitles when the title was released.
      Sure enough, it's based on the famous Colombian novelist Fernando Vallejo's masterpiece of the same name,
      La virgen de los...

      Who is virginity defiled and strangled?

      This is a DVD disc of unknown origin. When the images flowed in front of my eyes, I almost mistaken "The Virgin of the Killer" as the work of Abbas, a desperate old man who is tired of the world, returning to his hometown in autumn and leaves, wandering in a decisive death The edge, such a setting, is easily reminiscent of Abbas' "The Taste of a Cherry".

      But it's clear that "The Virginity of a Killer" is more direct, sharper, and colder than "The Taste of a Cherry." Also a little...

      bloody gay movies

      Three points of comparison:

      1> The old man asked the young man 1 to make a wish on the meteor, the young man 1 said that he hoped that they would be together forever, and the old man later said that he also made the wish.
      2> The old man asked the young man 2 to write his wish on a small note He wrote famous brand clothes and bought a refrigerator for his mother. The old man wrote the name of the boy 2.

      a> The boy 1 personally told the old man that he had no girlfriend...

      Uncle Kefu, who is talkative, has a lot of grooves, but the little quotation is really liked, and he can't stop laughing with the No. 1 brother. The national conditions of the country continue to refresh the three views, but the movie is still full of...

    • Fernando: Where to?

      Alexis: New York?

      Fernando: No! Its full of Colombians.

      Alexis: Miami?

      Fernando: It's full of Cubans.

      Alexis: France?

      Fernando: France is full of shit. They have problems with everybody.

    • Fernando: "Thou shalt not kill." Why? Taking someone's life is doing them a favor. A huge favor. Let them live. It's what they deserve.

    • Fernando: You can't live without sex. People go crazy without sex. Look how nutty the Pope's become. Spouting crap everywhere and kissing floors. Saying that homosexuality and all that is a sin. That's a sin? Having kids is a sin! There's no space left, the Planet will explode!
