Your Name Engraved Herein 2020
You know how the male gaze often affects the portrayal of women? This looks like it was made with the women who love yaoi/BxB/MxM/MLM (whatever the hell it’s called these days) in mind.
Classic closeted gay script with multiple forced (and unnecessary) intimate scenes.The backdrop being the end of Taiwan’s martial law is interesting, but isn’t really referred to other than serving the purpose of reminding the audience every second about the different time.
What a waste of visuals and aesthetic.

Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya 2019
Really divided on this. The film was kickstarted with humour but then what did it turn into? 😭 lost the humour along the way as well.
The writers set the pace well but they couldn’t maintain it throughout.

Fellow Travelers 2023
In E1, Tim cannot bring himself to look at Hawk after what they'd just done. Hawk has a smug look on his face, while Tim is just starting to get off the high, just like us.
I'm not a fan of the 'attached-bottom and top-that-has-borderline-internalised-homophobia' trope, but they managed to pull it off.
The series is well-shot with a tightly-wound script that lets us establish a deeper-than-usual connection with the characters.
I wouldn't be surprised if this emerges as a gay classic in the near future.Translated from by -

Om Puri trying not to break down during what would be his and Smita Patil’s last meeting was done SO WELL. I could feel the way your throat tightens when you try not to cry. Amazing.
