WTF, crossposting didn't work... second try! My new motto: updating whenever I feel like it.

But, really, there's just one reason I'm posting this:

Y'know, that German gay movie 'Freier Fall'? I finally watched it tonight, and I've just got this to say:

Malte from Sommersturm has grown up. And howBecause, damn it, even without subtitles and just relying on

Yup, the eyecandy was awesome. These two... nnngh. German gay movies WIN compared to American ones, imho (Sommersturm? Tobi and Leo making out/having sex? OH YIS). Or at least most of the time. No "acting", just honest and real emotions. *fans herself*

But yeah, I read a lot of reviews beforehand - the bullying cop? Or the homophobic mother? And others, probably - I felt like the focus was on the two guys and the wife, making them shine, and the others just fell by the wayside, just there to move the plot forward. A bit like a 'Kammerspiel', you know?

Which occasion was that, pray tell? *is curious* Lipreading was shite in this movie, that's why I'm so fervently waiting for the DVD.

[Yeah, I felt like some closure might have been good, but like this - OMG LET THE FANFIC (HAHA AS IF THERE WILL BE ANY...) COMMENCE! Like, Marc is running towards his final decision, and okay, a not so little part of me is going all, "YIS he'll search for Kay and then they'll live happily ever after...", hehe.]

I also don't know - maybe you can enlighten me - if they did actually address whether Marc could have been bi? I mean, that would have been a more probable explanation, but... *shrugs* OTOH, love manifests in myriad forms and woe betide you if you fall in love with two people at the same time... I mean, there are countless movies about het affairs etc., here it's just a gay affair - does that mean that Marc has to renounce his heterosexual side once and for all?

Rambling. Hi!

Yeah, you mentioned that (huh, Lolita? Hm, I can see that...). I think I haven't seen her before in any movie or forgot about it, though I do know the name (now I wonder why...), so I couldn't say. Interesting, though.

*LOL* I thought the same, too! But then, asking her to get pregnant would be a tad bit too much... that said, did you see the movie 'Romeos'? About transgender Lukas who falls in love with Fabio? Also a pretty good German movie, and the guy who plays Lukas (who was Miriam - if I remember rightly - before) had fake breasts under the shower, and I was all o.O at how real they looked...

*g* Funny that the actress actually did come out as lesbian some time ago, no? But yeah, that's pretty short-sighted, also... lazy script writing, eh?

Yeah, I wondered about that... Hm. I mean, he didn't fake the love for his girlfriend at all, so. I'll have to wait for the subtitled DVD then to catch every last word! ;-)
