DVD Reviews of Defying Gravity
DVD Review: A Movie Certainly Worth Your Time
Summary: 4 Stars
DEFYING GRAVITY is certainly not the greatest "gay" film ever made; however, it is a lot better than many of the many so-called gay coming out movies. Griff (Daniel Chilson) likes sleeping with Pete (Don Handfield) but keeping it a big secret from his fraternity brothers. At the beginning of the film, Pete has recently moved out into a place of his own while Griff still resides in the frat dorm, an arrangement that allows him to hang out with his frat brothers and put the make-- sort of-- on a sorority girl. Although the plot is predictable, the movie ultimately has a freshness and innocence about it that most of us can find appealing. It is good to know that a straight man can have a gay man as his best friend, that gay people do not have to be hung up on race, that gay men and women can like each other and that parents support their gay children-- at least in the movies.
The film was made with not much money; it shows. On the other hand, Hollywood, with the exception of BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN and a few others, does not usually sink a lot of money into movies with this subject matter.
We have come a long distance since BOYS IN THE BAND since these young people ultimately come to terms with their sexuality in a healthy manner. The director John Keitel went on to make LATTER DAYS, a much better film. We should expect a lot more good work from him.
