One thing I really love about Andrew is how conscientious he is about letting anything or anyone carry the weight of representing an entire community. Gay people are people, and people can be messy, passionate, loving, bitter, angry, joyful, fearful, brave, and everything under the sun. Recognizing gay people as individuals and letting their stories reflect humanity in general is the best avenue for progress.
Normally I have one or two scenes that I would remember from a movie. But this film made me watch again and again to digest those feelings of different parts of the film coz it has so many details.
The Boys In The Band is one of the greatest films ever. I never saw the original play but I picked up the video of the movie at HMV in the early 90s, it had a profound effect on me, I was eager to learn more about gay life in general having come out just a few months earlier, and the Boys In The Band taught me a lot. I still watch it maybe twice a year.
A truly historical play and film. And, the reputations of everyone involved will only grow as time goes on. There are touchstones to every liberation, Rosa Parks, bra burning, this story and Stonewall. Though lost in admiration for Matt Crowley, and the supurb actors we retain, and lost from the original, they must use a lot of makeup to get Quinto to play Harold. I would have to suspend my logical mind on that flip.
I agree. I'm so happy to see him pulling himself up out of something more than just Where the Bears Are since coming out. He's a great actor and needs to be doing better things.
I saw the original Broadway version and it was superior to the film. In film, the director leads you to whichever character tey want to highlight and the rest of the scene is lost in those close-ups. In the theatre, you get the full view of everyone and how they are reacting to what's being said. No comparison.
I can't look at Zach in a nice way because he played Sylar in Heroes.. just waiting for him to pin someone up against the wall 😂😂 nah should be a good film. Good on them all!
I stuck through the movie cos of the actors, but the phrase sticks to my mind, "why have enemies when you have friends like these"... if any of my friends regardless of their gender identity or orientation, speaks to me the way they do to each other in the film, i would literally leave that toxic room.
OMG Larry, a fashion photographer who prefers multiple sex partners. Hank, Larry's live-in boyfriend who has been married to a woman from whom he is separated and is divorcing. He "passes" as straight and disagrees with Larry on the issue of monogamy. This is Falsettos basicly!! Hank is marvin and Larry is whizzer. Which is funny because Andrew was just in Falsettos as whizzer!
zoe jones No it's a play. A rather brilliant play full of drama, angst, regret and the most hilarious scenes. Watch the movie if you don't like plays, it's a great alternative and considered a classic.
Saw it. Sorry the original 1970 film is way better. I'm talking about the acting and the camera and lighting work. Jim Parsons would have been more suited to the part of Harold.
The first Boys In The Band was never very good, and to remake it doesn’t make any sense. First off, who in their right mind would stay at a gathering of these miserable wretches? Had I been invited I would have left after 10-15 minutes and go some place more fun. And that’s the part of the play I can’t get past. What kind of gay men stay around for an ugly cat fight. I don’t know any.
Just saw the Netflix 2020 version and I may be in the minority here but the "original" is soO much better. I'm also sorry to say I didn't like Jim Parsons' version of Michael at all. Something is off with his personal approach to the character and also Quinto's aesthetic and his performance is off to me COMPARED TO THE OLDER VERSION.
The remake is fantastic and the man that wrote the damn thing wanted to remake it. Give it a chance. Also please use proper punctuation, you can't just use ellipses.
What a mistake...Why remake a classic? No one can top the original...Easy money for the studios. I had relatives in the business back a few years ago and they (the new owners of one studio) took a script for an older movie and rewrote it and made 5 different movies...the done the same with tV scripts. They did this till they got caught...Face it the old writers started out in the B movies and worked up. They had creative talent...today we have mediocre films made by companies that think if one works make a million...like the shoe stores...if red is hot make 50 types of red shoes...boring...I used to look forward to films coming out...now I have to stay home because none of them interest me in the least...sad.

I agree. I'm so happy to see him pulling himself up out of something more than just Where the Bears Are since coming out. He's a great actor and needs to be doing better things.
What a fucking amazing intro line

Here th-cam.com/video/XSGL_xkEMik/w-d-xo.html original movie
This is simply an ingenious movie.
I love this $, I just saw it

What’s better than this?
Just some guys bein’ dudes
You mean some dudes being gays
George L. Indeed
I’m glad he corrected himself after he nearly said borderline - his behaviour and words were definitely racist/anti-Semitic!
I can't look at Zach in a nice way because he played Sylar in Heroes.. just waiting for him to pin someone up against the wall 😂😂 nah should be a good film. Good on them all!
Who's here to see Sheldon Cooper
I watched the original film years ago as child. I like Jim but I love Mart Cowley
I stuck through the movie cos of the actors, but the phrase sticks to my mind, "why have enemies when you have friends like these"... if any of my friends regardless of their gender identity or orientation, speaks to me the way they do to each other in the film, i would literally leave that toxic room.
Please give me a slime tutorial!! Anyone?!?
ok cool will there ever be a dvd or sth i missed my chance
It’s coming out on netflix next month
Others see Jim
I see Sheldon
OMG

i was literally making a list of all the references lmao
9/9 wow! Was it a condition for the play?
Is it a musical?
Nah, it's a play
"It's NOT a musical!" - from the movie trailer
zoe jones No it's a play. A rather brilliant play full of drama, angst, regret and the most hilarious scenes. Watch the movie if you don't like plays, it's a great alternative and considered a classic.
No they didn't corner the market but they do make it work like no one else
Going sockless is such a weary cliche !!
It's only gays there???😰 Where's Neil Patrick Harris?
Saw it. Sorry the original 1970 film is way better. I'm talking about the acting and the camera and lighting work.

Movie was soooo bad...bad everything....original was good then...but this version....boring!
They have remade this classic...sickening...leave it alone...Shows how hard up they are for material...sad..
