All of Us Strangers
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Did you ever watch a movie and early on suspect, or rather dread, there would be a particular twist at the end? If it doesn’t’ happen, you may be so relieved, you overvalue the film out of sheer relief. And if it does, you may be tempted to undervalue what just passed. And now that I’ve brazenly attempted to read your minds, let me say that was my experience watching Andrew Haigh’s ALL OF US STRANGERS (2023, Hulu). There’s some beautiful work in the film. If you’re old enough to have lost your parents, the scenes in which Andrew Scott’s lonely TV writer re-encounters them as they were just before their deaths are tremendously moving. Both Jamie Bell and Claire Foy are quite warm as the parents, and she is simply incandescent. The reunion is complicated by the fact that Scott is gay and comes out to parents whose minds are still stuck in the 1980s, but their responses make sense without falling into cheap sentiment. This is intercut with his growing relationship with Paul Mescal as a man Scott meets in his London apartment building. Their rapport is quite sexy, not because it’s graphic but rather because Haigh and his actors capture the way intimacy can grow between two people. In fact, one of the sexiest scenes doesn’t even involve touching. Scott is writing on the sofa and looks over to see Mescal sitting in another part of the room reading Auden. It’s the kind of sharing a lot of us yearn for.
Haigh has called this his most personal film. He even used his childhood home as the location for Scott’s. When he just lets the characters interact, it’s all quite lovely, even if much of the dialogue is more theatrical than naturalistic. But there are also places it feels over-planned. Some of the music choices — Blur’s “Death of a Party” when Scott is left alone in a gay bar, The Pet Shop Boys’ “Always on My Mind” when Scott and his parents celebrate Christmas together, Patsy Cline’s “If You Could See the World (Through the Eyes of a Child)” when they go to their favorite place from Scott’s childhood — are so dead on it’s a little distracting. You can feel yourself being manipulated. And eventually the reunion with the parents starts feeling like something out of BRIGADOON or IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE. It’s fantasy as moral lesson. Only in those pieces, the fantasy led to something healing. I don’t know how healing the twist in ALL OF US STRANGERS is meant to be. It feels like THE TWILIGHT ZONE as written by depressed existentialists.

If anyone is looking for a decent gay love story on film, "Just Friends" on Prime was decent. Characters were pretty well-developed, acting was average, scenery was very nice too. Also, no one died of some horrible illness, no one was battered or killed, no families were ruined and no one died of a broken heart. First truly happy ending i have seen for gay men on film in long time. The actors, especially the lead was so pretty too! Also, the men were not having to sneak around as if their love was sordid or evil, one man wasn't just using the other or my least favorite is the "I am not sure I love you or even like men even though we screwed 20 times and practically proposed to one another " situation. I am not a fan of sap or camp either so something like Red white and Royal Blue was too sweet for me lol. I am just sick to death of all the fear, pain, loss and anguish that is depicted on film for lgtbq representation and the worst part is the writers and or directors are a part of the community and they never show a deep, meaningful mutually loving couple, unless it is funny or way over the top.
I watched Mario ( soccer film) last week. Started off fantastic, excpected a little heartache but Christ the ending was frustrating. Then another one about a dude dating his sisters husband....wow... people got AIDS, kid lost their Dad, whole family was broken up, everything was destroyed. Shit. It sucked. I would love a passionate, dark drama but not one where the lovers kill each other or something. What the hell??
Also, all the films about successful, married men fooling around with some lovely, intelligent, caring man and then just betraying them to stay in a life they hate.... don't get me started on that shit. I want to see a film where the married man isn't a damn coward and fesses up. His wife can move on then instead of living a lie and then the lovers can g we t the life they want. Yes it sucks for the family but it is worse to keep lying.
Also - Station To Station is the worst crap ever lol. Do not watch it. Everything about it sucks.
Any thoughts anyone?

Friday I'm In Love (My Beautiful Laundrette fanvid)
Edited by : @alba17 Song: Friday I’m in Love Artist: The Cure
Life in Thatcher's England can be hard, but love finds a way. Made for @tafadhali for @festivids​ 2022
My Beautiful Laundrette is a great little movie from 1985 about Omar, an ambitious young Londoner of Pakistani background who reunites with his old street punk friend, Johnny (an early role for Daniel Day-Lewis). They team up to revive a moldering laundrette and fall in love. The movie also is about Omar’s extended family, the Pakistani immigrant experience, and the frustrations and anti-immigrant attitudes of young, white working-class Londoners. It’s funny, sweet, moving and shocking all at once. It’s matter-of-fact treatment of a gay relationship was unusual for the time and is one of the things that makes it so enjoyable.
In the US, it’s available on HBO Max. Directed by Stephen Frears, written by Hanif Kureishi, both of whom would become highly successful.
