Its Thanksgiving here and that means delicious food, family functions and a lot of uncontrollable hatred running deep; things that have been bottled up and are now shot like a cannon into the open because you're spending all day with the people you love unconditionally and hate with a passion.
On a brighter note, I just (literally about 5 minutes ago) finished watching the Brazilian movie "From Beginning to End" which is, quite frankly the best movie I've seen in a long while. --This is saying something as I finally watched Xmen First Class this weekend.
From Beginning to End is the story of two men, Francisco and Tomas who are brothers. They live with their mother and step father and are very close at the beginning of the movie - where their ages are about 12 and 5 respectively. When their mother dies 15 years later they find themselves getting even more close, but this time in a sexual, romantic way.
This is the story of the triumphs and problems with their relationship
It is heartbreaking and emotional but also lovely and fluffy, so deep and crafted at times and then it bangs right into light, happy. It is full of wonderful acting and all sorts of beautiful plots, stories and declarations.
I love you because to understand our love, they would need to turn the world upside down.
I love you because you could love somebody else, yet you still love me.
As for Xmen? Amazing. Really, really good acting, action, relationships and characters. But two bits pissed me off. When Charles and Erik decided to kiss other women. I mean - really writers? We can tell that they're completely in love with one another. You don't need to pull an INCEPTION AWKWARD kiss with them like you did between whatsherfaceEllen and Arthur. Not necessary.
The movie didn't even need it, if we're not going to mention the heterosexual vibes they wanted to sand off. It really, really did not. Xmen is not a love story. It is something way more interesting.
Seriously, go watch From Beginning to End though. Phenomenal.
