Melodramatic tosh.

The central message is strong but they didn't need all the padding and the unnecessary reversal of straight/gay.

Just doing a simple video of a tormented gay child/teenager would've sufficed to communicate the message. They tried to be clever and do a Black Mirror-esque premise but it failed.

I swear there's more straight haters than gay haters nowadays.

Lol that was terrible. It was terribly preachy and about as subtle as being hit by a train. I was too busy rolling my eyes throughout it all to take anything from it.

I could have shat out a better film than that.

They mentioned something about breeding seasons or something, I wasn't paying much attention since I was too busy rolling my eyes.

#1 that wouldn't be a bad thing, the world is overpopulated

#2 because the children brought into the world would actually be wanted and cared for and planned for, there would also be a healthier and better educated population.

Ridiculous, as per usual.

Just because we don't find a heavy handed, cliche ridden and positively amateur film particularly effective we're homophobes?

Subtlety goes a long way in putting across a successful message, this film was so heavy handed that it almost stepped into the realm of parody.

It's not heavy handed at all, it's incredibly realistic.

This. What a complete waste of 20 minutes.

The comments in this thread show just how far we have to go. Anyone who thinks equality is even CLOSE to being achieved, this thread has proven that exactly the opposite is true. We are no where near equality, unfortunately.

The level of ignorance is astounding. That people here think that this movie was being dramatic, that it's not EXACTLY what reality IS in this world right now. Wow most of society is so blind and ignorant.

Maybe you guys missed the bit at the end that mentioned that EVERY single scene in the movie was a TRUE story.

Maybe you missed the bit where the majority of posters pointed out that the film has a valuable message. However, I feel the film failed in what it set out to do.

That in no way makes me homophobic or ignorant. It just means I'm able to point out a ****e film when I see one regardless of its intent.
