Awesome movie. Great story in a beautiful land.


The movie tried to honor how there can be love between two men and how there is such an unfair price to pay for it thanks to religious bigotry. One of these two happened to be a black man and the other a white man. When Johnny and Romeo were slow dancing in the dark it was such a beautiful thing. With the lighting they used, the dark skin against the light skin looked so artistic and wonderful. I love how that scene was used for the movie poster.
As far as actual racism, I was a bit relieved there wasn't any, other than a small reminder at the beginning when Romeo tried to psyche Johnny in the jeep. But clearly, Anna gives Johnny keys to her house, Johnny lets Romeo drive the jeep, and Johnny lets Romeo crash at his house. To me the movie was saying these characters are not about racism. Perhaps it is a lesson, that we need to also be people that are not about homophobia.

we're all entitled to our feelings on things, and i value your opinions. i strongly, strongly, disagree with them, to the superlative degree. but i respect your right to have your opinion on this matter.

Your Opinions aside, homosexuals, and their enablers, are some of the most closed minded people ever and are as bullish as the fascist of old.

Religious Bigotry? Surely you jest, but of course you're most serious, and this feeling you're expressing is a movement by another force that seeks to not only corrupt, but to injure our Creator. Of course you don't believe in a creator, and of course, you feel that this movie is about equality. And, is not unlike black people seeking equality, and women seeking equality. But, black people (barring the American black criminality that has been allowed to run rampant for too long) are not pervasive in their movements for equality. Women's rights are the exception to this for sadly, a greater number of women in this movement for equality, has tied their fight for women's rights, with feminism, and feminism, in almost every aspect, has declared war on the patriarchy.

And sadly, as with homosexuality, those among the patriarchy who could send such extremes back to the shadows, has allowed themselves to be socially castrated and are afraid to do or say anything that would be viewed by feminist and gays as oppressive.

To the point that gays are infecting not only schools in the United States and around the world, but has corrupted television, movies and the media with their demonic ideology that there's nothing wrong with their filthy practice.

And feminist are demanding that women should not be the back bone of the home, and that the man should not be the head,which spits in the face of God.

But of course You don't believe in God, and are one of those who has no forensic evidence of an amino acid self creating then doing what all of us with all of our modern complexity could not do, create life. You're one of those people who sees these fabulists, i mean atheist scientist (and yes, there are theist scientist), as speakers of a Gospel that surpasses any written in the bible.

And although these fabulists, I mean Atheist scientist, has no forensic evidence that links a fish to a man in an unbreakable chain of forensic proofs that touches and extrapolates how each species before inexplicably links to the other unto humans, you believe them none the less. And although they have no proof of a big bang other than hot, hot back ground, and expanding galaxies, you believe them when they say that eons upon eons ago, a singularity was called into existence by nothing or anti matter (there are two theories of how it all began, so whether by anti matter, which they'll never prove, or by nothingness, which is even sillier, and with a dash of viola. Here we are.

none of which will be ever proven and will remain conjecture and, ironically, makes you as faithful as they, and theist are, for faith is a belief in what you cannot see. and i assure you, they, nor you, will never, ever see, or prove, the big bang, or expansion---at planck time no less. or trillions of times faster than a fraction of a second, or just fast enough to over come the greatest gravity well ever---Retcon much. and they call the bible unbelievable.

Onto my Point Though, Homosexuality is a mental disorder, and is one of the most pervasive of sin's laws. Those who are bound to it are in need of not only spiritual healing, but, they need our help to free them by any means. Truthfully, if i was a practicing homosexual, I would want some one to save me from such a pervasive degrading practice. With lots of drugs if need be up to or including, institutionalization.

Don't believe that homosexuals are pervasive? Then, i encourage you to view homosexuals when they're in groups. if you think black extremes are infinitely worse when a gaggle of such ne'er-do-wells are grouped, then you have seen nothing yet concerning the gays in groups.

There is no such thing as sin. "Sin" is something that people with power had created to control those with less power so that the people could have...more, more, more...of everything.

The idea of "sin" existing is a rather childish belief.

> Truthfully, if i was a practicing homosexual, I would want some one to save me from such a pervasive degrading practice. With lots of drugs if need be up to or including, institutionalization.

Unfortunately, you are in no position to say that. You have never been and you will never be a homosexual. Why? Not because you made any kind of choice, but because you were born straight and will remain that way for life.

And, if you think it was a choice, tell everyone here when exactly in your life you decided to become straight.

So, your prediction as to what you would do if you were homosexual is just completely invalid because, if you were, you would have always been that way and always will. You would feel a LOT differently than you do now if you were actually gay.

Try this little thought experiment. If you woke up one day and found yourself to be a black man, would you want some one to save you from such a pervasive degrading situation? With lots of drugs if need be up to or including, institutionalization?

I had another comment for you, but i think I deleted it unwittingly. Or intentionally, but whatever. listen you, there are those of us who don't believe as you do, and KNOWS that not only are we of God, but that homosexuality, is nothing more than an aspect of sin's filth. And frankly, you saying that you're no longer coming here because I don't support sin's filth simply says you're one of those people who although not a fascist, could get an acting gig as one if the role was ever given to you. You see two poople, I mean people, engaging in sin's filth, and you're all misty eyed and stupefied, and you're all like, "why don't you people find this as touching as i do." you have a yaoi fetish, so please move on.



not to flog a dead horse, but;
Sorry you, but not all of us follow that nonsense that atheist scientist has given to you people as your gospels, that says a singularity without provocation, or via anti matter, self created, expanded, and viola here we are, and that goes doubly so for ever proving that supernatural bunch of nonsense. and don't even get me started about an amino acid and other particulates bumps around randomly for billions of years and then, here we are, both us, and trillions of other species.

And it is supernatural, for even with all our modern know hows, you'll never repeat that in a lab, or observe it happening. and all the evidence you have is hot backgrounds and expanding galaxies. and self forming amino acids in a tub of goo that was specifically mixed by humans.

I wrote a rather lengthy comment for you earlier, but i don't see it. pity really, I thought some parts of that comment was especially clever.

A big part of the movie deals with the harm created by the dogma spread by people like you, and also reminds how those that shout the loudest are the biggest hypocrites, often closeted gay themselves.
