A tribute to a wonderful movie, Beautiful Thing, about budding gay love. As Cass Elliott sings, you've got to make your own kind of music, sing your own special song. Be yourself. (Search keyword boyg33 for more videos)
I really love this film. These two young men played their roles beautifully. The scene where they are running through the woods and end up kissing each other is just so romantic. It looks so authentic that I almost forgot its a movie. Some say the boys are not good looking, but I disagree. They are above average and very cute together.
I just love this story. Its the best "coming of age" love story ever brought to film I've ever seen. So many times, the characters don't seem real. The acting seems forced. But in this film, you believe these boys are actually falling in love. This comment is all the more telling when I realized that they were not gay. I know that all acting involves playing people unlike yourself, but a story involving sexual awakening is purhaps the most difficult of all. And these two young men have done a wonderful job.
