It's so annoying that This movie doesn't come up another one from 1981 does

100% This movie was one of the first ones I watched back in the days and also one of the most impactful ones.

Somewhat unrelated to the topic, but It's so strange to hear someone describe the boarding school experience as something positive. To me, these 2 words (as well as "summer camp" and similar institutions) have always been synonyms to "hell on Earth" and "child abuse". I always saw boarding schools as some kind of sadistic punishment for kids whose parents hate them. It was one of my biggest fears as a teenager and even now as a 31-old guy I shudder whenever I hear those words. I absolutely can't imagine my life without my own home or at least my own personal room in my home. A place where there is no-one else, just me, a quiet personal space where I can return after school/work. And all the strangers (non-family-members) are out there, and we are separated by 2 steel doors. "My home is my fortress" as we say in my country. >speaks fluent English >"I'm bad in English" bruh 34:21 - that part was shocking. Anyway, whoa, that was one hell of a story. The longest but also one of the easist to watch of those I've ever watched.

Watched this movie days ago and oh man...this one is really hurting me. Im still recovering🤧😭

I love this movie. I used to go to the midnight showings in the 1980s. It appealed to everyone at the time. We all yelled the audience parts that were created by the fans. Some people dressed up. I agree with you about the queer identity, but everyone loved this movie.

I love this movie! Its a thinly disguised Bowie biopic, basically Haynes did as much as he could get away with using allusions and metaphor. If you read Angie Bowie's book, you will see the the inferences even more. The actors did a great job with what they had. Ewan was a hybrid of Iggy Pop, Lou Reed and Mick Ronson(see the gold outfits and guitar string eating scenes). I read that Ewan, drunk, once met Iggy Pop and started jumping around and telling him what a fan he was and how he liked playing him. Ewan said Iggy just looked at him & walked away & he was so embarrassed.

I had exactly such an Emma in my life so I love this movie :)

Have you watched the original movie?

You have such a nice smooth voice omg

Years later I'm still hurt when i rem the end of this movie.

Thanks. Gorgeous movie. The scene where they're reading The Symposium looks like a Degas painting. As for the class issues, those are extremely deliberate. Forster usually included class critiques and obviously Clive denied himself to keep his position in society.

Great and interesting FILM. It doesn’t need a label

I agree with you on most of what you say. However, I still question that scene where Remi goes to the bathroom after fighting with Leo and his mother tells him that she doesn't like him to lock himself in there. Was Remi suffering from something and we as viewers didn't know about it? Did he commit suicide just because his friend abandoned him a little?

I absolutely love and am currently OBSESSED with NBC Hannibal so much!! It’s so artistic and beautiful in every episode, the soundtrack is perfect, the visuals are impeccable, and so much more I could talk about! This was an amazing review! :)

where to watch?

Where can I watch it

great video!!!!! thank you for making a video on this amazing film <333333

Didn't they say the person playing the trans guy is actually a real trans guy? Cus it is pretty annoying when they can't get an actual trans person to play the role. However something I have noticed on the RARE occasion they find someone who is actually a trans man... is they are before hormone therapy or very early on before the changes of testosterone have happened. This kind of gives the unaware public that all trans men are like this. I don't tell many people this because I prefer people do not know but I am a trans guy (on T for about 3 years now) and people just think I'm a cis guy. This is what testosterone does to a trans guy who takes hormones. This is something the public need to know. Us trans guys can feel very invisible to the world. I don't like telling people because people just don't get it. I only tell people who need to know. If I'm talking with other LGBT people I'll be comfortable saying it right away. But if it's people outside the LGBT community, I am a little scared to tell people due to traumatic experiences it can cause.

Just subscribed hope U make more videos soon

loved the way you talked about the movie. I wished you talked more about Maurice😢❤

The sex scenes were very unnecessary

It's a period piece, and a good example of independent British cinema, in the 1970s.

Fantastic review. I've just picked this up on the BFI DVD. This film deserves far more exposure.

fanfic is probably one of my fav movies. There are so few movies about transgender identity and this is the only one I know of that is about a gay trans man.The way that Tosiek escapes reality is so realistic. I love how the focus is more on feelings & emotions than on dialogue. Even though I agree with most of the criticism I think this movie makes a lot of pp especially teens feel understood.

I just know this movie just now and curious about it, but turned out it is as old as me😂 Can you tell me how long the movie is? Or where can I watch it?

This is such a beautiful movie one of the few best picture winners I agree with

I look forward to seeing this and agree about the actors

First to say 85 is gay

Just watched the movie yesterday. The characters are gorgeous and very well portrayed. The movie could have been twice as long, there was no time I felt no joy, facing their doubts and insecurities, but also daring themselves to enjoy the young life. so wonderful, such an amazing and touching movie.

Remember the Fruit Loop dream sequence? Neil has a premonition/vision of his childhood past during sex at the motel room and that triggered him. He probably has a superpower when he was born without a notice. Like the Charmed Ones, he’s a Charmed One! 🔴🟠🟡🟢🔵🟣

I strongly suspect that the old man with his hatred and desire to murder is a worshiper of the presumably gay Jesus in the Bible... just like this Super Christian of charity: th-cam.com/video/L61723RQpb8/w-d-xo.html

Fab u Luna Ris tic

Fantastic movie even though i found it difficult to watch. Trying not to give too much away but if you've ever been betrayed by someone close, you'll relate to this. Brilliantly directed and fascinating story about how he choose the two actors and how he trusted them and gave them the freedom to find their characters. 10/10. Byo tissues.

Amazing story, thank you. I wish I'd had your emotional maturity, clarity, self awareness and confidence at your age. 😂

Where can I watch this movie?

A Classic Film. Which dispels the myth being progressive began in last decade. 80s and 90s films many of them, were very inclusive exploring a number of universal themes.

BROO NO WAYYY I always thought this episode was an absolute masterpiece since I watched it last year and I always wondered why I never stumbled upon a video that talks about it (I mean the series is really underrated itself )until I finally did which is this video and you perfectly articulate my thoughts and I agree with you word by word . Also the fact that your fav gay movie is MOPI and fav show is Hannibal and you ALSO watched Beautiful thing and Breakfast on Pluto LIKEEEE YOU TOTALLY GET ME DUDE . I just became an instant fan .

Getting drunk with your family…I can’t even fathom doing such a thing!

To me this is still Anthony mackies best performance. He’s wonderful.

I wonder if this film was the inspiration for the Franz Ferdinand song of the same name.

TRASH!

I adore this film, but it is about so much more than being trans. It was a human story, and the central theme was abandonment…in my opinion, anyway. It’s a great story and the acting was wonderful. I don’t agree that a trans actor should have played the role, I think Murphy was perfect, and that is why the film works. I didn’t mind the ending, though I kind of wish his mother had at least found out who he was.

My favorite movie. Thank you

I'm sorry but I was distracted by your teeth,, please fix them.

I see no trauma in Neil. He was into older men with moustache since he was 8. To call this trauma is not a psychological assessment but a moral one. Brian, on the other hand, did experience it as traumatic. I think we should be more careful when using psychological terminology. Just because we don't understand how an 8yo boy can have such a sexual drive doesn't mean there's something pathological about it. It may just be illegal or immoral, but there's a big difference between the two.

Absolutly one of my favourite movies ever, I'll never stop recommending it to people (especially since pretty much everyone I mention it to has never heard of it). Gheorghe is the best, I love him sm and honestly all the characters are so beautiful, I love how they develop and just everything about this film is so beautiful

God I love this movie and the book is my favourite book of all time. I love both of them sm 😭❤

THANK YOU for reviewing this movie, I wish more people talked about it. It's definitely a comfort film for me, can't even count how many times I've watched it

What I really like about this film watching in 2024 after 39 years of it's release.. It's realism. It takes you to the world and make you believe it. The authenticity, bold and brave commenting on class and racism without being apologetic about it and the most important how the writer Hanif Kureishi wrote his character without making them black or white.

4:28 I think its nuts that, like, its BEEN A WHILE, but isn't Anthony Hopkins only IN Silence of the Lambs like on screen for like 20 or so minutes total? Imagine like other actors have to win a oscar being the star of a movie and having to bring your A game for like a hour and a half of screen time but Anthony Hopkins gets it for like around 20 minutes?
