Beautiful Thing (DVD 1999)
A tender love story set during a hot summer on a South-East London housing estate. Jamie, a relatively unpopular lad who bunks off school to avoid football, lives next door to Ste, a more popular athletic lad but who is frequently beaten up by his father and older brother. Such an episode of violence brings Jamie and Ste together: Sandra (Jamie's mum) offers refugee to Ste, who has to 'top-and-tail' with Jamie. Hence, the story tells of their growing attraction for one another, from initial lingering glances to their irrefutable love, which so magnificently illustrated at the end of the film. In deals with the tribulations of coming to terms with their sexuality and of others finding out, in light of Sandra's unwavering loyalty and defence of Jamie and the fear of repercussion should Ste's family find out. The plot is set against sub-texts of Sandra's desire to manage her own pub, and thus escape the estate, and of her new relationship with her hippy boyfriend Tony; and of Leah, the brassy girl next door who has been expelled from school and spends her time listening to Mama Cass records and tripping on a variety of drugs. I have seen VERY few films that I consider dramas that I would consider watching over and over again in my lifetime. The day I discovered Beautiful Thing, that changed. For a young man coming to terms with his sexuality this film is brutally honest, and marvelously written and directed. The scenes between the two young men were wonderfully directed, and not over the top as is seen in other films of this genre. Much of the sexual activity between the two was inferred, which was a big plus as it kept the overall theme of the film to an artistic tone. The mother was one of my favourite characters as everytime I see it I see another side of her. I have now seen the film twenty times, and each time I get another joke I missed before. All in all I recommend this film to EVERYONE who wants to feel this Beautiful Thing touch their soul as it did me. I bought this because it's a great film plus this film is basicly my life story of how it was for me when i was growing it shows the difficulty gay people have with trying to be accepted in the community plus the family part as well being gay myself i can understand the story which was told homeaphobia still exsists but is getting better for gay people but you who care's what people think about us Gay Guys for me life is for living don't you think ?Read full review
