God's Own Country is the greatest gay film ever made.

Better than Brokeback Mountain.

I liked it BUT not like that means anything because gay films suck.

Better than BBM? Calm down, OP. BBM won multiple oscars, GOC didnt even win anything in its OWN cunt-try.

Although I certainly don't agree with the OP, that's not true. It won a few British Independent Film Awards. It's not the Oscars, it's not even the BAFTAs, but it is something.

BM was made for the straights. No cock shots or even a glimpse of bare ass so straights don't have to think about "icky" gay sex.

by Anonymousreply 16June 4, 2018 12:36 PM

In BM the gay gets an appropriate punishment, a tire iron to the face. I love that GOC had a happy ending.

“Appropriate,” r17?

by Anonymousreply 18June 4, 2018 12:49 PM

I should have have put appropriate in quotations. Gay stories typically have a tragic ending to appease a straight audience.

What did the sheep think ?

by Anonymousreply 20June 5, 2018 12:54 AM

Josh O'Connor didn't think the characters would stay together. He said : " I hope that they maybe have a summer on that farm together. I actually think it’s better they’re not together for the rest of their lives. Johnny opens up at the end, I think that’s a really exciting thing for him and probably he’d want to explore that with other people."

Is definitely right up there. However, the treatment of animals tarnishes the film. Some of those scenes were quite grotesque.

Of the recent gay films that got attention (Moonlight, CMBYN, Beach Rats) GOC was the only one that wasn't about being closeted.

by Anonymousreply 24June 5, 2018 3:21 PM

Err... it was about a guy being closeted R24. BPM was the only film where the gays were not closeted.

Johnny wasn't closeted.

His family knew he was gay and so did that girl at the bar who wanted to introduce him to her friend.

by Anonymousreply 28June 5, 2018 4:38 PM

Treatment of the animals? Huh? You mean knowing how to save and orphan lamb using the skin of a dead lamb was "cruel". It displayed the competence and tenderness of the character- lost on you I guess.

Loved it- but many of the scenes were rehashed from BBM, just in a different setting.

by Anonymousreply 34June 20, 2018 9:23 PM

It was a fucking bore. And unintelligible as well. The only thing impressive about it was Josh O’Connor’s huge cock.

by Anonymousreply 35June 20, 2018 9:43 PM

He can't have a huge cock. O'Connor is an Irish name.

It's pretty great. I hate to say it, but it is better than Brokeback Mountain. Michelle Williams and Anne Hathaway ruined that movie.

These types of movies only appeal to frau and forever-alone gays. They're utter schlock without any relation to reality. I'd rather watch a Hallmark Christmas movie!!

Frau prefer movies that don't feature explicit butt fucking.

Frau love the butt-sex viewing, there's a reason they watch gay porn.

It was a lovely movie. Great acting, beautiful photography, gay sex, and a humongous dong

Though subtitles were mandatory because of those thick accents, and the local slang: "noot" "ta" "funny do"

The gypsy actor was the most intelligible

Ugh. Bland and boring. And the white guy character was extremely unlikeable. The other guy could have done much better for himself.

by Anonymousreply 61October 6, 2018 4:33 PM

The Romanian character was Hollywood trope of the flawless, wizened foreigner teaching the boorish westerner about real life. Made the Indians in those recent Queen Victoria movies seem like rapists. He was forgiving, wise in the ways of near-dead sheep, pretty as fuck, romantic, of few words, nonchalantly out-of-the-closet (without any apparant drama given his background??), a tender lover, hard working, continually perfect hair, a good cook, clever employee, tempered drinking partner, and so on. Gave the otherwise good and gritty movie a real Hallmark Channel vibe for me. Still liked the movie but he was Gunga Din.

I don’t like romances, no matter the genitalia involved, so this as well as BBM and CMBYN were a slog to get through. BMM has the best acting and story out of all of them, but CMBYN and GOC at least seemed like they were made BY gay men FOR gay men, and gave the audience ample male nudity as eye candy. BMM had realistic gay characters but it felt like a gay film made for straight people.

But hey, at least they’re all lightyears ahead of the shitfest known as Love, Simon (which is a textbook example of why women, let alone straight women, should not be writing media about gay men).
