Who We Are (2010)
Who We Are explores the relationship between two best friends who find themselves struggling to hold onto their friendship while dealing with the feelings they have for one another. Alex (Taylor Caldwell), an openly gay high school student, tries to rebuild his relationship with his best friend Michael (Justin Fix), after revealing to Michael he has feelings for him. When Michael reluctantly decides to attend a ‘Gay-Straight-Alliance’ meeting Alex, he reaches a new state of understanding and level of acceptance for Alex. Michael’s parents (John Patrick Kelly & Kim Reed) battle between accepting what they’re religion suggests, and opening their minds to accepting people for who they are. The film captures the societal hardships many homosexuals face and a story of love without boundaries.
Kao i svako jutro potražio sam neki kratki film da odgledam uz kafu. Nabasao sam na nekoliko koji se nisu našli na ovom bogu.
Jedan od njih je i Who We Are, režisera Seana WIllisa.
Nebih mogao reći da je ovo neko vrhunsko remek dijelo u svjetu kratkog filma, ali sigurno ima pouku koja bi trebala da je više namjenjena ‘Str8’ populaciji.
Iako je film napravljen da se može gledati i u nekom porodičnom okruženju, nebih mogao ni zamisliti reakcije u crnogorskoj javnosti koja je uztalasala kada se prikazao spot od 2 minute u kojem su se dva muškarca poljubila.
U svakom slučaju zgodan je za pogledati, mada ruku na srce, nema ništa posebno što bih izdvojio u ovom filmu. Klasična coming out priča.
