SCHOOL DAYS
Today's gay film was Alan Bennett's
An opened up and abridged version of the prizewinning play. And since we can't see that, we will see the movie which is quite good and deeply involving.
On the face of it, one wonders how this is a gay movie.
Since it takes place in the 80s the answer to this conundrum is that everything gay was under the surface but just so.
The fat was in the fire so everyone had it on their minds. It doesn't take long for "it" to arise.
I have seen this before and gave it a 5 and will do so again.
There are a lot of universal truths that are prismed out of the byplay between teachers and boys who are in a summer prep class for applications to Oxford and Cambridge.
Funny, exciting, sad. Like life.
Still a Netflix5 out of 5.
