Dale性感迷人,是活跃于伦敦的高端男妓,他擅长满足客人的各种离奇性幻想。然而没人知道,他的放浪只为掩饰自己对直男好友Raj的情感。一起长大的Raj行将和女友结婚,而格林威治地区出现了一系列针对同志的仇恨暴力。在这样的背景下寻找爱情,似乎是件奢侈的事,除非…肯付出代价。
“爱情代价”是导演Carl Medland的长片处女作,电影MV“我的美丽”获得了2009年最佳英国原声MV奖。
This is a highly romantic tale of love and tragedy, of suspense and action, of hot and steamy activity.
I recall Harvey Fierstein once saying that any exposure was good exposure. He was trying to say that we should allow for all voices to tell our stories, and this was definitely a voice I had never heard before. Folks, there is no Oscar or Academy Award here, and yeah, I’ve seen better actors, better story lines, better direction, this, that and the other thing. But I watched the movie, it held my attention. From this side of the pond I got to see locales I had never seen before. I think the characters were basically believable however I agree with the comment above that he main character as a hustler was a stretch, he wouldn’t make a dime over here (not that I hire hustlers), but who knows with the Brits? The point is indie cinema is just that indie cinema. I watched the movie all the way through, had a bit of a problem with the ending, so I watched the ending again and I think I understood what I was supposed to understand. And yeah, I agree there wasn’t a lot of affection, but since I’m made to swallow the gay relationship depicted on the TV show Modern Family (two gay men with a child and they never touch, never hold hands and certainly never kiss), I guess I can live with a movie that the characters basically do the same. Watch it, rent it, judge for yourself. Remember any exposure is good exposure however lame it may really be.⏬
