This short film was submitted as a part of my dissertation for my bachelors degree in acting, investigating queer theory in film and investigating the "bury your gays" trope. Thank you for watching.

Such an strong message to the society. Hope one no one needs to come out they just love and nothing more. I'm aways afraid of telling my family and friends about who I'm cuz they all are homophobic . It's been 4yrs I kept it to myself and have no idea if i ever get a chance to tell my parents about my gayness. Beautiful story loved it. 💟💟🙌🙌🙌

This film moved me to tears. So much about internalised homophobia, mainly because of the anxiety that family, friends and the society might see and treat you differently after coming out, which I hope that some day won't be necessary anymore. There is also the aspect of self determination, which still is a big issue nowadays. Very well done film!

I agree with completely, but what about transgender people? So many things seem outside of traditionalist, societal, scientific or religious doctrine: and are not biological crearionalist survival of the species life force, but are innermost insurmountable components that irrevocably make up the individual. These aspects are life and death to the individual.

Wow this made me cry. I hate my attraction to men so much that I just tell everyone I’m straight, and even try to date girls over and over again even though I know I’m not into women. I hate how society views gay people. I hate that I can’t be “normal”. But this message of why pride is important has completely changed my viewpoint. I’ll try to be less ashamed from now on. Thank you.

Hart wrenching beautiful pice of film . A powerful message so well acted. It even brought a tear or two to my eyes. Well done to all involved. We can not help how we feel emotionally or opposite attractions that some people will have. Which is why love is such a confusing time for some. Im a true beliver in what will be and society has no right in dictating our paths ,just becasue Some have attractions to the same gender shouldnt make it wrong. Perhaps they feel safer and just want to love the person for who they are and are not necessarily wanting the sex bit of a relationship and its that bit that upsets and confuses the traditionals amongst us. Education education education and a better understanding surly must be the way and who knows the ignorant amongst society may be a little less tolerant. Not that their tollerence is of any of our concern but may make the LGBTQ community live in peace. Once again a hart wrenching pice of film. I loved it..

@mariepierrenarr7784

11:22 - 11:36. I think her monologue, disagrees. Love, between consenting adults, should never been seen as sinful, nor should the expression of that love in what ever way they see fit, even if it is shown in s**ual attraction. If god exists (I don't say, "he" doesn't), and if he created everything, and if he is all knowing, and if he is all good, and if he is all loving, and if he is all powerful, he would have created attraction in every singular person. He wouldn't be all loving, and/or all powerful if he judged you on feelings, which seeds he put in you. Even if Satan existed, as an tempting malevolent being, the Christian god would have created him, which would make god neither all good, nor all loving, which I'd argue most devout Christian view god as all good and all loving. Therefore I strongly dislike and even dissagree theologically with the notion of ""pure" love", and especially if it is expressed with the sentiment of "Hate the sin, love the sinner." Personally, I see a huge disconnect, between the christian image of god and eternal damnation.

I'm kind of curious how this applied to your dissertation; if you want to share a bit of insight.
@MyaaM8
@MyaaM8 7 місяців тому
of course! so my dissertation title was: “how can queer theory be used to challenge notions of heteronormativity in romantic fiction on film?” - and so as an acting student, my dissertation was half practical (the film you’ve now seen) and half a written paper. for the paper i researched romantic fiction, tropes used in heterosexual fiction vs queer fiction and the “bury your gays” trope and the harmful implications of it whilst highlighting that there should still be space queer tragedy outside of simply “burying your gays”. there was a lot more, of course, but i won’t bore you with all of it- and then i discussed how i myself utilised the techniques i had previously researched in my own queer romantic fiction on film :)
