Now this is an interesting turn to this thread

There is a lot of popular media that showcases gay characters and situations, you could spin this thread to see if there are double standards apply

The guy who wrote it is straight. i wonder if someone told him what to write or he is really talented to write gay shyt without being gay himself.

the whole "bah its the agenda" take of the movie will die off

 

[Gonzo]

The movie is overrated. I saw it over 3 weeks ago and it was a great movie but I've seen many other movies like it (minus the homosexual part) that didn't get half the praise and attention this one got.

There were also a lot of things left out that were not unexplained. Also all the homosexual undertones throughout the movie... I wasn't really feeling it.

Spoilers below:

I liked how the main character basically emulated the drug dealer/mentor who took him under his wing. Movie had a lot of cliches.. like single mom bringing dudes around hooked on drugs. His best friend being homosexual came out the blue though. That shyt was just weird.. and dude was taking advantage of. Also why were they holding each other at the end of the movie? It's like the main character was still a boy.

All in all this movie ain't make no got damn sense.

nikka you spew gay shyt half the time on here.

 

[SheWantTheD]

Have to see it, might be a legit movie. Just cause its about gay shyt don't mean its some bullshyt. nikkas need some culture in your lives............

It's a good movie but it's overrated and the move felt incomplete.

I saw that shyt at my school's theatre so I paid under 6 bucks.

It’s incredible. Visually, just, remarkable. It’s crazy how well this movie was shot. The child and teen actors are great, and Naomi Harris is incredibly good. Movie is powerful from beginning to end, and I bet any of the people complaining about the main character being gay have not only not seen it, but would be blown away to know that his being gay has no bearing on how any of the adults treat him in the movie.


You can have a corny, try-hard story about what it’s like to be “black” like Dope or Dear White People, or a movie like Moonlight that is so genuinely and truthfully black it doesn’t even have to try. It doesn’t try to speak for a people as a whole, or explain black culture to those unfamiliar with it, it just is. It’s just the heartbreaking story of one particular kid from one particular poor neighborhood in Miami.

Him being homosexual wasn't that much of a core issue though. He would have still been bullied because he was quiet, timid, weak, etc. How did they know ol dude was homosexual anyways? And spoiler alert!: Why did they make his friend bisexual? That shyt ain't make no sense. And the main character had only one sexual experience in his life, and it was with his bestfriend when they were teens.

Dude a handsome breh, built like a pro football player and got dough, I'm sure the ladies throwing the p*ssy at him. It was a good movie but some things ain't just make no sense and it felt incomplete than a muhfukka.

I'm not sure. Movies solid tho helped me understand gay dudes and thug dudes a slight bit better. Humanize them per say
