ok Rober Stadlobter or w/e his last name is (srry i can't spell it) is really cute in some scenes and in other scenes it's like where did his cuteness go, marlon kittel of course is that best looking one (WE LOVE U MARLON) the girls are pretty cute adn the dude that plays tobi's best friend (achim i think) is just ewww. waht u guys think
Do you mean to say that Achim is not attractive? I'm thinking I must be misunderstanding you, because he comes off to me as the most conventionally good-looking of the guys.
Robert ("Tobi") is definitely not conventionally good-looking, but he has acted in other movies and is apparently a well-known musician in Germany. Casting him might have created a built-in audience. And, since IMDB says he came out as bisexual during the promotional tour for the film, the effects of the movie on German culture might have been more pronounced due to his notoriety. Maybe we can imagine an American musician with similarly ordinary looks taking such a role.
Still, in terms of the story, Leo clearly establishes himself as gay guy who isn't comfortable with the stereotypes and who's looking for someone similar. Knowing that, it's easier to square his attraction to Tobi when there is so much eye candy around him, including the guy on his rowing team who can't seem to keep his hands off him.
I didn't find Robert Stadlober (Tobi) to be at all cute. But IMO several of the others were hot: #1 Marlon Kittel (Leo), #2 Kostja Ullmann (Achim), #3 Jürgen Tonkel (Hansi).
Achim really wasn't cute at all? Marlon Kittel was by far the cutest Did anyone else see the resemblance between Viggo Mortensen and Robert Stadlober (at least their faces)?
I just watch the movie this morning on youtube... it is by far the best coming out movie i`ve ever seen... Achim is hot, how could you guys say he is not, and you are also leaving two really hot guys Malte and Schorschi are also superhot,, don`t you think, the kiss between those two is hot...
I saw this on Youtube as well and agree with everything you said. This replaces Beautiful Thing as my favorite coming out/coming of age film!

Marlon Kittle (Leo) stole my heart the first time i saw him!!! and i agree with you Robert Stadlober was cute in some scenes and ugly in other. But in every scene he was in with Marlon, he looked abosultely cute. And probably that's because i thought they had good Chemistry and their attraction to each other seems so inoccent and just...cute.
Completely agree. Marlon was so hard not to stare at during the whole movie. Everything about him is magnetic. Robert looked better somehow when he was in the scenes with him. They did have really natural chemistry and their scenes together are so sweet and my favorites in this film.
