Starcrossed

I'm not big on romantic films because I'm manly and whatnot.

I'm quite easily affected by touching/inspiring dramas i.e. Pass It Forward, Schindler's List, Freedom Writers; because I'm sensitive like that.

I've just watched the 2005 short film Starcrossed.

Don't worry, it's a 15-minute film, so tak luak pun masa study.

It's about a love between two individuals that is opposed not only by their parents, but by society itself.

Great acting. Cute falling-in-love scene. Short, somewhat cliche dialogues that successfully make you feel the dilemma. The ending is quite powerfully moving.

A great movie, all in all.

There's only one thing.










The lovers are two brothers.





Two very related brothers.





Two very male brothers.



Homosexual incest action.

I actually got the confirmation that I'm not a homophobe after watching the movie. I feel for the characters: their yearning for each other, their concern about the obstacles in front of them. Oh and the Romeo and Juliet ending is just a tried and true formula. [Highlight the black box to view spoiler!]


I do not condone incestuous relationship, though... from both the medical and oh-my-god-that's-sick-when-you-fucked-grandpa-by-Blink-182 aspects.

So, in conclusion, again:







Homosexual incest action
