Good movie, and sad. Had a wonderful date take me to this one and it was a complete surprise. I hadn’t even heard of it.

Take Brokeback Mountain
Add
- Yorkshire accents so thick I had to turn the subtitles on
- Frontal nudity (BBM seemed oddly sexless to me)
- A happy ending
Result: Better than Brokeback Mountain
I dont know why all gay romantic movies end up with sad endings. There's another "romantic" movie where one of them ends up killing the other with a knife and running away because he was afraid of homosexuality.
For this one, even though someone already told me it had a happy ending, i was still thinking they were not going to end up together
Have you heard of the bury your gays trope? It's a pretty common theme with queer characters dying but it's getting better.
No, this is the first time i heard about that.
Another movie that I really like is free fall. Not sure if you have watched but spoiler alert: ~~no one dies, but it is still a sad ending~~
No I've not seen that I'll check it out!
The bury your gays trope does seem to be dying out now and there are more and more positive/normal representations but you can still catch it. Brokeback Mountain was a classic example of it, but that's quite old now.
Yup, these all sound like major improvements to me, most of all the happy ending. I found Brokeback to be a total downer
Will look out for this
Such a classic! I need to rewatch it because I don't think I let it sink in enough the first time. My other favorites are Brokeback Mountain, Maurice, and My Own Private Idaho.
