The Broken Hearts Club
Language: English
Story: Romantic comedy. It is sort of a light movie about a group of 5 gay guys who are friends and have each other for support and comfort. Sort of like a gay “Sex in the city”. One becomes a drug addict. One is a sex addict. One has low self esteem and one fears intimacy. One teaches a newly gay guy to be gay and feel ok about it. Somehow it feels like therapy to himself.
Some of the highlights that stuck to my mind are when this first guy tells this newly gay guy that his father died before he really knew him. So the newly gay guy tells the first one that just because he didn’t know that he was gay doesn’t mean that he didn’t know him at all, to which the first guy, simply replies, “He did not know me and that’s that”.
There was this other moment when this gay guys sister tells him that he came out as being gay so that he could be happy. But that coming out doesn’t make you happy. You still have everything else that everybody deals with and you can still be miserable as hell. So you need to step up and do something else about it and grab life by its neck. Coming out isn’t the end of misery.
And then there was this statement by the narrator saying “I don’t know when I knew I was gay but it was when I met these guys that I realized that it was OK to be gay and that’s more important to me.”
End: Generally positive.
