DVD Reviews of Boys Love
DVD Review: one of my favorite gay japanese movies
Summary: 5 Stars
The actors are sexy. The story is easy to follow. The development of the varous characters was well done. The ending is tragic but seemingly inevitable.
I have watched this dvd 3 times in the last week and shared it with several of my friends as well.
I enjoyed the special features and listening to the director and the actors give their thoughts on the movie.
My only regret was to hear the lead actors and the director state that they were not gay.
If they are not gay, the actors certainly were remarkable in their insight and sensitivity shown in their roles.
The director had a definite ability to depict m2m sexual tension and energy.
DVD Review: Good Love Story!
Summary: 3 Stars
This is the story of 2 boys who get to know each other due to professional appointments. They are too different from each other and what was supposed to be a professional appointment becomes perssonal.
One deals with past frustration inducing us to understand the whys of his promiscuous behavior.
While the other takes his responsibilities very seriously but finds different feelings after being haressed by this young handsome model who is not even a bit shy.
At first this movie may seem a little too dramatic.
But if we consider the point of view thru the eyes of a different culture such as the japanese culture its possible to understand better the elements stressed during the story.
It is far from being a great movie but I'd say the way the story was set in a traditional society and the development of the sexuality as well as the way the author deals with the steriotypes it was worth it.
I will wait for the next BOYS LOVE movies to be available at Amazon.com as they already exist in Japan (scenes available at youtube.com)
DVD Review: Boys Love
Summary: 4 Stars
Wonderfull film. excellent job by (non-gay) lead actors .as usual, the ending is tragic, but beautifully worked.
i hope the soundtrack is available someday, i watched it twice together, just to hear the music
DVD Review: good yet bad
Summary: 3 Stars
when i came across this movie, i could not wait to see it.
i patiently waited two months and finally bought it.
boy was i upset!!
the movie starts nice and simple, soon you get into it and begin to cope with the characters, then, at the end you are left with a bitter sweet feeling.
i would watch this movie only if i were in a depressing mood!
DVD Review: Simple, Beautiful Film
Summary: 5 Stars
On the surface of things, Boys Love might be seem like a simple (perhaps even clich?d) romance that traipses along the lines of vague vulgarity, but by the end you cannot help but feel a certain attachment to its protagonists.
In using the term 'simple', I refer to the general plot of the film, but there are concepts and sequences within the story that cut just a bit deeper than your average misty-eyed effeminate male love story. In such a manner, there are numerous quotes from literature and notable speakers threaded silently throughout, usually as conclusions to pivotal scenes, which encompass many of the emotional boundaries in which the characters of Boys Love entwine - from innocence to promiscuity, tenderness to maddening jealousy. Some of the quotes seem obvious, but many will stir about your sense of reasoning and curiosity.
For the most part, Boys Love is indeed rather predictable. However, the compelling and genuine performances of leads Saito Takumi and Kotani Yoshikazu result in a nevertheless touching and irresistibly engrossing experience - all culminating into an unexpectedly dark and lingering final chapter.
Boys Love isn't a movie to be examined and picked apart, but instead, a movie to be felt, absorbed. There's a lot of heart here, you just have to be willing to look for it.
Description of Boys Love
BOYS LOVE begins as conservative, young, magazine editor Akira Mamiya (Kotani Yoshikazu) sets out to profile teen model Kisaragi Noeru (Saito Takumi). Mamiya becomes taken with the young man while viewing his paintings. The two continue their interview over dinner, and dinner leads to an encounter in a restroom stall. A relationship develops between the usually straight-laced Mamiya and irresponsible pretty-boy Noeru. But it's a relationship fraught with peril. Jealous schoolmates, too much booze, random men, and the demands of career conspire to test whether a BOYS LOVE can survive.General DVDs
