Brothers
Two gay brothers.
Grown up and with "issues".
This is the idea behind
Very nice. The feels.
Dad died and left the boys behind. Now grown with one back from LA where he led a pretty dissolute life. The other stayed and leads a quiet respectable closeted life.
So two themes combine. The brother thing and also the conflict between the ones who stay and the ones who go. A general idea that pervades my life from time to time. I left. But my past is still back there. Every once in awhile it rears its head.
And, I did not have a brother except for the imaginary brother that most boys have. Yes they do. So did you if you are an only boy or only child.
Guys need brothers. And this is part of who we are and how it works in the DNA.
So, I was touched by this fine film and had a lot of feelings as I watched it.
I did not know that this was the debut appearance of a noted gay porn star. Since he is not on my radar it might prove a problem for some folks. He is out there in full living color in another life even though he has changed his name back to the original one.
Beside the point but if you have had intimate moments with him as many gay men have then it might come as a surprise.
You won't be disappointed. He plays the wild brother who left and his "reputation" is sort of folded into the script.
So, I do not think I will buy this gay film but I am certainly willing to watch it again. That makes it a 4 out of Netflix5.
