Shelter
by migs
This is by far THE BEST gay movie I’ve seen. It’s not at the least bit flamboyant which is why I respect the film so much. The story is heart warming and the acting is nothing short of excellent. Yes, Brokeback Mountain wasn’t flamboyant either, but I find Shelter to be more closer to home and not on some isolated mountain with cowboys. Sounds like another gay film I’ve seen.
Now, the film is nothing short of eye candy, but isn’t that the main ingredient to romantic movies, gay or straight? I mean, I probably would not have gave it a chance had the leads looked tore up, but would you have watched the Titanic if Leonardo was some fat hairy guy named Gilbert? Don’t even think about it, I know you wouldn’t have!
Anyway, I think Shelter represents gay people like myself who aren’t the diva type. I think more films and gay characters like this need to be out there in mainstream media. Yea, the flamboyant gay makes for good television (who didn’t love Will and Grace?), but they’re not in anyway the majority of the population.
