The other day when I was supposed to be doing study, my friend gave me a call and recommended this film that was on TV for me. It was a comedy called "But I'm a Cheerleader" I found it to be really inspirational as well as really funny. Strangely enough most of the "gay" jokes that I usually detest even made me laugh. here is the plot of it: Megan is a normal American girl who's one of the best cheerleaders on the team, along with having the captain of the football team as the perfect boyfriend. But there are some very unnormal things about her, including the fact that she doesn't like kissing her boyfriend, she has posters of girls in her locker and at home, and she likes listening to Melissa Ethridge. Does this mean that the normal Megan may, in fact, be... a lesbian?!?! Concerned, her parents and friends send her to True Directions, a gay-gone-straight camp led by the well-meaning, yet totally insane Mary and the "ex-gay" counselor Mike. As time passes before graduation, Megan start to come to terms with the fact that she's a lesbian and that she's in love with Graham, who stays totally open with her sexuality, even though her parents are ready to kill her if she comes home a lesbian. I really enjoyed it and am now more interested in Gay films in general. I was wondering if anyone has seen that film or maybe u could recommend some good films for my summer break.
Reviews for the movie are bad, apparantly the characters are steriotypical too. And it does no good for the homosexual community. Plot sounds good though and I read that the actors do a good job, might watch it.
Yea I didn't think it was the best film, there are better one's with similiar themes like "la mala education" I heard that was good, it is a stereotypical film maybe I should have just put it as a general film I liked. I think that it's good the film industry is actually making films about it wih serious messages. I dono I'm really tired atm maybe that is making me say random stuff that doesn't make sense. oh yea btw A freckled frog went to the museum to se a speckled apricot beetle with a thriving specialty for arachnophobia. but yea as I said i dono
Sommersturm (Summer Storm) is definitely one of my favorite gay-themed movies!! Excellent story, acting, camera work and music and lots of eye candy too :icon_bigg I would also recommend Edge of Seventeen, it deals with the issue of coming-out to friends & parents in a very realistic way.
Bad Education (la mala educacion) is an EXCELLENT film, but it's not even comparable to "But I'm A Cheerleader" It's so much deeper and more layered. And definitely not a comedy. Summer Storm is really only impressive if you've not seen many other gay films. Try Latter Days, Trick, Jeffrey, Lilies, The Hanging Garden, Get Real, When Night Is Falling, The Sum Of Us, Relax... It's Just Sex. There are a lot of good gay short films, too, usually in collections, although of course you have to hunt through the so-so and not so great ones to find the gems.
Hanno Koffler!! Funny, it combines three aspects of me: gay, interest in German, and rowing. It's like it was made for me. :icon_bigg
I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!!! True Directions has the funniest logo in a movie yet. Lol The x-x-gay people >_<
