Gay-themed movies don’t have to be bitter and vengeful

This film is really just a mediocre comedy, and even I can write the outline of the script with my eyes closed. But this does not mean that we cannot like it.

Homosexual movies are tragedy in most cases. Especially in such a big domestic environment, we do not believe that gay people can have happy endings. There are even extreme views that "HE or BE is the most important criterion for distinguishing reality from fiction." Under the guidance of such a trend of thought, it is almost impossible to see normal gay comedies. Both the United States and Thailand have tried, but there are a lot of pornographic works, such as "My Brother and Lover"; or purely carnal venting works, such as "Dinning Out". There are also movies that tell another story under the guise of homosexuality, such as "Happy Together". I don’t agree with the above three categories that they are gay-themed movies.

Back to "Coming Out the 4th Frame". Analyzed from the drama conflict, the three levels of conflict in the film—Adam coming out to friends, coming out to his family, and misunderstanding with Chris—step by step, support the basic tension of the film. As for the jokes, this film uses the contemptuous dirty words of gay in English to make a lot of laughs, and there are also many common misunderstandings in gay daily life. At least I am very happy to watch it. As a small production comedy, this level is passable. Of course, there are a lot of points that are forcibly put together for the balance of the plot, such as Adam's boyfriend and Chris' girlfriend.

I agree that this film is a gay movie. It did not indulge in the masculine sales of American movies, excessive exposure, excessive intimacy and ambiguous behavior, and neglect of gay heart; it also did not describe sex scenes or even sex scenes between men and men, only men and women; in the end, it still remains When telling the gay story, consider the problem from the perspective of gay, instead of selling dog meat. Although this film is lacklustre, a similar structure can be applied to the relationship between men and women, but it does not prevent me from watching it happily. In fact, although Adam's coming out experience is quite idealistic, there are many things I have experienced and I feel the same. For example, the mood is extremely low and backward and willing to accept a person who has previously rejected it, or for example, there is a flamboyant behavior in front of other people. Gay-themed movies do not have to be bitter and hateful, they have to reveal deep social problems, and they have to promote the development of the gay rights movement.

Of course, it cannot be ignored that, as a Hollywood-style movie, this film still has many stereotypes. It excludes people of color and discriminates against sissy, and it does not implement the concept of constructivism well. But everyone needs to understand that even within LGBT, many mainstream ideologies still permeate it, such as male power. Male chauvinism takes other forms in gay, where the status of men will become offensive, and the status of women will become recipients. Ironically, isn't it, LGBT and women's rights are clearly alliances. So in such a comedy, too much demand is harsh.

The two male protagonists are so handsome! ! ! The sound is also to my appetite, especially the various bass. If the rotten girl dominates the direction of the movie, the two of them will definitely be together... They are also in good shape, a proper heavenly dish.

    2016.12.7.977 Although I know that this film is a good gay film this year, I just watched it after knowing that someone said something good. The male protagonist is very handsome, and the story is not bad. He didn't take the exaggerated line, and he was afraid that the comedy would be too much to make people unconvincing. The story of the American country boy coming out of the closet is touching and relaxing.

    Lying! groove! good! laugh! die! Up! When he came out, the three good buddies were worried about who he wanted the most? Sexual swear words that are usually blurted out have caused the embarrassment today! Finally, I run into my favorite comrade, but Byebye because of farting while kissing! ...There are too many small details like this! ...Especially when I came out of the closet to my parents, the export of "sausage" just made me spout! ↣If only this world is as beautiful as it is shown in the movie!
