Movies are as much a passion for me as my first love, live theatre. They are perhaps the highest form of modern storytelling. Although sometimes labeled a Director’s medium, I believe film to be as collaborative effort of any form of Theatre. The subjective and universal appeal of “The Movies” can capture the imagination and passion of more viewers on a scale unsurpassed until the advent of Television and the Internet.

There’s no denying the sheer numbers Television can reach, however I tend to favor movies, specials, and series produced by cable networks today. I’m a fan of classic television, however there’s a quantifiable load of pablum being spewed into the airwaves.

The theme remains universal and relevant even today, when the struggle for social acceptance can still be a steep climb. Love is love, no matter the sexes involved. A powerful, moving, and visually stunning film that will strike a chord in all who view it.

There isn't a false moment in the film Beyond being plausible, there isn't a scene which feels forced in any way. |
