The never ending story
Today's film is a predictable re-run of the dilemma of the man who discovers he is gay after he is already married to a woman.
Although this premise is undermined by the admission of the character that he always had the gay feelings. Just buried them.
I can identify with that.
My story is conventional too.
Nothing new or dramatic in this movie and while it leans toward a bit of soap here and there it is a success at being charming and real at the same time. A touch of magical realism helps. But there should be more or none of it. It is whimsical but not very helpful to the story.
Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow (2013)
No new ground broken is not a bad thing. After all this is a timeless story. The man who tries to hide in a marriage closet.
Everone is nice in this film. No villains. Even the gorgon mothers are under control. But tradition is the villain if any and she is a hard motherfucker when it comes to gay men.
A 3 out of Neetflix5. I do not plan on buying it for my gay DVD collection.
