...not really but what a terribly slow movie which lacks any of the glee and eventual pathos one would associate with their first love (Or indeed any love at that age). Queer as Folk had fun, American Pie had humour and Leon had action and they each presented similar material in a much better fashion.
This was just glib and pithy.
What's Harvey Weinstein got to do with this? Some of you are really retarded. It's unbelievable.
shareWhat do you mean?
An older man in a position of responsibility taking advantage of that for no other reason than boring old sexual appetite.
I think it's very clear what he's got to do with this.
It's always nice to meet a fellow retard 😉
What movie have you watched, you idiot? No one is taking advantage of Elio. No one. He is the horny one humping everything that moves. Oliver does NOT force OR even initiate sexual contact with Elio. Oliver also doesn’t have any position of power over Elio. Your comparison to Weinstein is nonsensical. This is a consensual and legal relationship. I think your homophobia makes you write stupid things.
shareHe has A LOT to do with it. Harvey Weinstein has been the single most important influence in film for the last 30 years. All we see is because of him, including this piece of shit film.
shareAs someone who casually enjoys watching films, I would love to hear a little elaboration on what you mean. I know he had his own production company, but how did this power influence the direction films are in now?
This is not an affront, just a genuine curiosity.
Thank you in advance.
I believe he is the producer with the most Oscars in history, or one of them anyway, he made or broke careers, all of the films mirror his successes, he was a godawful producer and the artists he championed, charlatans, hence why film is in the gutter now and it will remain there.
shareSo would you say the problem is the death of objective standards? If a producer can hire markedly poor directors that create oscar winners, who is to blame here? Is it the producer hiring the directors to make these films, or is it the academy, that doesn't care much for anything objective in film such as writing, cinematography, direction, or originality?
It seems that ultimately what happens is you have separate categories that acknowledge these individual criterion, but the "best" film is only the best film if it promulgates a certain agenda.
At any rate, thank you for putting things into slightly more perspective. And the world grows dimmer, it seems.
well I am 35, I grew up loving the 80's and 90's of course, then I noticed quality going down, way down, first with digital cinematography, that is really bad and so on, long story short, I consider most current filmmaking and a lot of films dating back to the 60's and 70's, as trash. The real cinematographic language, the best way of making films is of course, 1930 to around 1963, that's when the real masterpieces came about. I honestly do not know what happened, how it went downhill from there, but having the most important hollywood producer of the last 30 years be a kingpin with a certified criminal enterprise is one of the reasons why everything is crap of course.
shareQueer As Folk was awful, this felt real to me. You seem to be one of those gays that is into cutting people up, drug culture and grindr hookups. That is fine, but this movie was more my speed. It had real emotion; something that some gays try to run from.
shareThat is one heck of a story there brah!
I'm just gonna get back on my bong before bouncing on my boys d whilst sending noodz.
Don't cry for me.
