"It's crazy, what your brain tells you to do when you're a kid.: - Jamie Miller
The difficult and emotional subject matter is brilliantly written.
The scenes, in 4 episodes filmed in one shot, are equally brilliant.
The project invites us to live each moment with each character.
The acting is hands down 100% convincing.
The ending- real tears.
"How do you think this will play out? You become an officer,
and we get married at the barracks?” - Eismayer
Based on real life events. Vice Lieutenant Eismayer is a respected trainer in the Austrian Military, known for his tough, macho persona. However, he secretly lives as a gay man. Until he mets Falak.
"We're not bad people. We just come from a bad place.” - Sissy Sullivan
Fragility and brokenness.
This movie isn't meant to be easy to watch. It forces the view to be with Brandon in literally every scene and confront Brandon addiction and that is uncomfortable, He shows signs of genuinely trying to separate himself from what brings him pain and that hurts as well.
The backstory of Brandon and his sister, Sissy, is smartly not discussed and that is…
“It pisses me off that you’re suffering.” - Felipe
Sweet, innocent and as I saw it, a very normal life (without big drama) coming of age story. Beautifully created, you see that it is possible for one can feel more deeply and differently than the other. And you can openly express feelings to the other and not be destroyed. In fact all can and we’ll be okay. Stay for the final scene.
Friendship, awakening, and love.
