Beautifully directed and acted! Absolutely stunning in capturing that experience of falling for a straight man. I have never had someone articulate it the way that this does. I feel shell shocked. One of the best gay short films I have ever watched.
That SO happened to me. I fell in love with my best friend when I was going through that confusing time, trying to figure out if I was gay or not. I wanted him so badly, not necessarily in a sexual way, but in a romantic way. I loved him so much and it killed me to see him with the various girlfriends he had. Took me a very long time to get over it.
Holy Moses this film!!!!! I’m so in love with this. Maybe the best gay short I’ve ever seen. Is that Matthew Wilkas??? Shit he’s hot: he looks 21 here. And that other guy is stunning. Brilliant. This is so well directed and scored. How beautiful. We need more stories like this.
I've just seen the whole CURIOUS THING TRILOGY. And I'd have to say it's by far the best short films I've seen in a very long time. I was totally enthralled in each short and found myself relating to each story in comparison to my life. Wow!! Two thumbs way up!! Now, if only I can find the whole trilogy on one DVD to add to my collection. :D
That explained a lot of things very well. It's a reminder that personality is an evolving awareness, that love needs only empathy and humanity, not labels, and if we let it be what it is, not what we dream it is, everyone can grow, maybe with some discomfort, but without hate or meanness. Eye-opening.
This was a beautiful film. Understanding where you belong in the world or with whom you will love is never easy -- a vital and key detail of life that, sadly, some never achieve. We should be encouraged that the two men learned important "life lessons" as a result of their love for each other and served as foundation for their futures. Overall the movie is a hopeful one and that is brilliantly told and portrayed. Congratulations to producers, cast and crew.
This film hits home. I was there 40 years ago and I still carry it with me. I have been "married" 24 years now but still remember him. Always will with a sad smile.
This is one of the brilliant underrated short films. The inner conflict seems so close as listening to live voices of a real life documentary than fiction.
This caused me to weep. Bravo bravo. I had this moment happen a few times and I have wished gone, but after seeing this I have realized the importance of that moment. It shaped me and made me a good gay male. It made me reflect on how I was treated. Being normal, trying to be something normal, beautiful and truthful words. I am normal. This has moved me. Again BRAVO. These films should be seen by students in school and in the school of life.
This happened to me in the army. At the time it made me sad, but now it seems evidence of the unpredictable richness of love. Sexuality is a continuum, not black and white. You know how boys can be so sweet and loving until puberty turns most of them into straight men? The sweetness doesn't vanish, it goes to a protected place within the machismo. The scene where the guys begin to gently explore each other's hand captures it perfectly.
Deleted comment? I love this movies so much that I watched again. Wonderfull. I thought this was a great starting to a fantastic journey. Would like to hear from the filmmaker? Do you or company have a screening?
I watched maybe the 14th time! And the girl in this when he says I'm gay and she looks up she is so sad in her eyes and angri. There is something about her. I feel the sadness for her person. =( Love this picture and the second in it with her feeling this.
O.K. Now.....don't EVEN Make Me UPSET!!! Where in the holy heck (see, I didn't 'cuss) is part 3.......I can't find it! You're killin' me over up in here peeps.
I think that denial is something that individuals need to explain within themselves. We most likeley won't find it from a film. They will feel from movies but hopeful that something awakens a realness in them.
Uhh wow, what an amazing film, story, music, rhythm and the two actors, just great! That's exactly what happened to me. At the chill-out after a great party he saw me, came straight to me, invited me to an ecstasy .. We fell in love immediately and had a great time. Kissing, cuddling and sleeping together was wonderful, but unfortunately no sex .. He will always have a place in my heart ..
God I relate.I fell in love with my best mate in high school and we fooled around,alot,but he endede up totally dropping me after my mum walked in on us.Saw him on facebook and he's been married and divorced since and has kids.I did love him but ultimatly he is straight and I do accept that now but the fucker broke my heart by just dropping me out like he did,no explanations,no goodbyes just sudden absence from my life after spending most of every day together.Well I'm 32 now but haven't forgot
This was my story....I am the Godfather of his 1st born...I love his wife. She sometimes feels like she has 2 husbands..she yells at both of us the same way.
Oh it is a situation that has been around as long as we can remember, but it will last as long as there are people coming to terms with their sexuality. It is was it is, and it's okay - as long as you emerge as your true self......
We have to look at it from all points of view...including the girl who was dating a closeted guy. It's hard all around but yes, that scent seemed to do something for him!
Something similar happeend to me when I met some really cool guys n couple girls on my way to work when i was 16.. that same week i was comin from work saw them there n we talked n we hang on my day off, we became great friends, got invited to a party, got drunk, played spin the bottle, landed on me n had to kiss one of them, to my surprised he french kissed me, later that nite he asked me if i was bi, he said it was ok if i did, i came out n cried, one thing lead to another n we stayed friends
The Kinsey scale is 0 to 6. Thus, the 50-50 true bisexual is 3 on the scale, not 3.5. Fwiw, most (not all) bisexuals eventually become more interested in one sex & less in the other. In the film the bi-guy couldn't handle it, backed away, & apparently became more motivated to date women. I can understand why the film doesn't work for you as a love story, but that was not the producers' intention. The film is realistic. Unfortunately, your comment has been flagged as spam (not by me).
LAS RELACIONES ENTRE LAS PERSONAS PUEDEN RESULTAR MUY COMPLICADAS SOBRE TODO CUANDO UNO DE ELLOS O AMBOS NO SE ACEPTAN TAL Y COMO SON Y PEOR AÚN SI NO ACEPTAN LO QUE SIENTEN, Y PUEDEN TERMINAR VIVIENDO UNA VIDA QUE NO DESEAN O QUE SUS PROPIOS MIEDOS Y REPRESIÓN INTERNA LOS LLEVA A VIVIR.
I love it. Yes, frustrating. But the "what if...." is also the thing that drives us. Sure its hard for the gay man in the scenario, but think of how much harder it is for the straight man. The gay man battles society, but society can change. The straight man battles himself knowing that he, by all accounts, can go on the rest of his life leading a heterosexual lifestyle, but will always have the knowledge of how it felt to be attracted to another male.
Dramatic action with narration over is an interesting way of presenting the material. It can be more succinct than simply filming a dramatic story in the usual novelistic form and yet makes its points without the aridity of a talking head. I feel sorry for the girlfriend, but at the risk of sounding cruel, there's something comical about the gay guy's focus on the other guy to the point of being initially oblivious to his girlfriend's reaction. At the end both men have apparently found mates.
haha usually i dont even check my inbox, meaning the replies from people, as my eyes arent good, cant take too much of the com screen. oh its from 0, not 1, so yup 3 is in the middle.so if the lead character decides to date guys now instead of gals,it's also realistic,as he can go either way, and you said bisexuals eventually become more interested in one sex. but how can one quantify whether one's liking for guys n gals are around the same..there is like, lust, love, admiration... justwondering
GREAT!!!!! another sad ending. I really should stop watching gay themed stuff. They are either just about sex and very sad. I'm gonna go watch G.I Joe now.
Alexander Black despues tenemos familias separadas porque por cumplir se formaron asi pero llega un momento en la vida que ya no aguantan y dicen basta ahora quiero vivir. Una pena
Maybe this will help. I like dudes and so attracted to them. But at the same time, some part of me also like girls but not as much as I feel about guys. The point is that I don't like gay sex. but I like straight sex. Does that make any scenes? Anyone has the same problem?
Urgh.. people why do you have to be so emotional, get over it. Gays don't get emotional, we're strong and we move on. Until one day we feel like nothing has happened.
ermm. my version of my own story is that the two lead characters ended up together. if that guy can hang out with him all the time and initiated to hold hands with him and initiated a kiss too with the other aj guy kissing him back (btw that was hot), i suppose he is at least bi!! (bi meaning 50%aj - 50%str, 3.5 on the kinsey scale) nope this short film doesn't work for me sorry.

Loved all three of the trilogy, so well done and Danny is sexy and handsome. Loved the music too.
What an amazing film on so many levels. Sound track, editing, acting. Well done.
OMG!! I'm crying!! This is so sad, but beautiful at the same time. A big love turns into a big friendship in the distance!

Is clear that you are gay
I absolutely love this short film. More than any other gay-themed film this captures my feelings on a lot of subjects quite accurately.
He's OK. I'm OK. That scentence makes me crying. Sad But awesome. That's real.

Loved it. I could relate in so many ways. Best gay short I've seen in a while.
Thanks. Yes, that is one of our favorite moments as well.
Cool.

short but understandable
friends i love you

Touching. It moved me because it took me back to my teen years and my very bad habit of falling in love with my friends. I always ended up alone.
I Love this so much I just wanna say thakyou because this relly touched me emotionly. :)
Wow, does this hit close to home. It's my story with my first male crush.
Deleted comment? I love this movies so much that I watched again. Wonderfull. I thought this was a great starting to a fantastic journey. Would like to hear from the filmmaker? Do you or company have a screening?
that was beautifully done.
Just watched this on Boys On Film 7. I think it's my favourite Gay Short of all time.
Great, everything.
Fine Young Man will respond to a few comments but from the whole team, thank you all for watching and discussing!!
The director is Alain Hain and the writer is Jason Mills. You find them both on the FYM page on facebook - just search fineyoungman on FB.
Very moving.
Hey shockbudd, it is not a book, but we're happy that you enjoyed the films!
Best thing I’ve seen today 😍
this was well done
We don't have any planned screenings but the films are available on DVD with a few different companies. Google it!
I watched maybe the 14th time! And the girl in this when he says I'm gay and she looks up she is so sad in her eyes and angri. There is something about her. I feel the sadness for her person. =( Love this picture and the second in it with her feeling this.
beautiful and sad, love it
this is beautiful :' )
beautifiully done
Who wouldn't fall for Matthew Wilkas god he['s gorgeous. Gus Kentworthy is a lucky dude
O.K. Now.....don't EVEN Make Me UPSET!!! Where in the holy heck (see, I didn't 'cuss) is part 3.......I can't find it! You're killin' me over up in here peeps.
"what if" though
I cant believe i m crying
I think that denial is something that individuals need to explain within themselves. We most likeley won't find it from a film. They will feel from movies but hopeful that something awakens a realness in them.
this is so riveting and true
Beautiful
I loved it
Uhh wow, what an amazing film, story, music, rhythm and the two actors, just great! That's exactly what happened to me. At the chill-out after a great party he saw me, came straight to me, invited me to an ecstasy .. We fell in love immediately and had a great time. Kissing, cuddling and sleeping together was wonderful, but unfortunately no sex .. He will always have a place in my heart ..
Where can I get the haunting soundtrack from ?
Oh that's awesome. Please share with anyone that you think would benefit from a real story!
Lovely💕👬😃💫
God I relate.I fell in love with my best mate in high school and we fooled around,alot,but he endede up totally dropping me after my mum walked in on us.Saw him on facebook and he's been married and divorced since and has kids.I did love him but ultimatly he is straight and I do accept that now but the fucker broke my heart by just dropping me out like he did,no explanations,no goodbyes just sudden absence from my life after spending most of every day together.Well I'm 32 now but haven't forgot
Yes, it is important to look at it from ALL eyes. Including the girl who thought she had something that she didn't...
Nice
This was my story....I am the Godfather of his 1st born...I love his wife. She sometimes feels like she has 2 husbands..she yells at both of us the same way.
AHA! this happend to me! 😂
Oh it is a situation that has been around as long as we can remember, but it will last as long as there are people coming to terms with their sexuality. It is was it is, and it's okay - as long as you emerge as your true self......
oh aj is the lingo we use in our counry for the word gay or homosexual
Rhythm of life.......
We have to look at it from all points of view...including the girl who was dating a closeted guy. It's hard all around but yes, that scent seemed to do something for him!
Yup.

GREAT!!!!! another sad ending. I really should stop watching gay themed stuff. They are either just about sex and very sad. I'm gonna go watch G.I Joe now.
Same here :(
That they didn't end up together? Yes, it is frustrating...but they were each meant for other things in life...
the actor that plays sam is gay in real life.
Tonyburgessful Name?
matthew wilkas
Is he still with Gus Kenworthy ?
triste pero asi pasa...

agree with jadoogarify
it was sweet and all but at the end... ugh. frustration. :/
He's ok, I'm ok... that's the least convincing affirmation, all pretense, one of them is aching, the other is in total denial, faking it
Its so sad

Urgh.. people why do you have to be so emotional, get over it. Gays don't get emotional, we're strong and we move on. Until one day we feel like nothing has happened.
Google "Kinsey scale". Wikipedia and others give a better explanation than I can in a few words. ㋡
ermm. my version of my own story is that the two lead characters ended up together. if that guy can hang out with him all the time and initiated to hold hands with him and initiated a kiss too with the other aj guy kissing him back (btw that was hot), i suppose he is at least bi!!

Che tristezza
noo
but it's not ok.... not at all... :(
