It was so greatly done I'm horrified!

Finally I saw this, the acting was great, the direction and scenaries too, and everything was perfect, but I was feeling horrified, like this was so believable I was revulsed (because I'm a prude, ok? today was made evident), I mean, I wasn't horrified for the gay part, I was horrified for the corruption in that relationship, in those lives... which proves that their acting and the way this was done in every sense was great... and yeah, the story was still horrifying.

Who's relationship is a Cinderella story if you really go deep into events and details? Nothing last forever; esp. with the disparity of the age. Scott was only a teenager even though Matt's more like 40. Saw some clips on YouTube; missed it on HBO. It came and went and I forgot all about it until Bill Mahar mentioned trying to scrub that image of Matt humping Michael Douglas. lol...

Yes, 'corruption' in the relationship. It was scary. It was really sad to see this predatory old man 'flirting' with very very young looking guys. When Scott is told that there have been a string of guys and they get moved in and then moved out, you start to wonder if this is really love - with all the hearts and flowers and rhinestones!
