Movie Reviews of Bent
Movie Review: I was expecting a good story...
Summary: 1 Stars
The premise grabbed me; it is about a gay man sent to the concentration camps during WWII. I was expecting some really good things from it; "gay entertainment," as well as having the Nazi attrocities against gays highlighted for starters.
To say I was disappointed would be an understatement; it's a bad sign when I wished the SS would just shoot the main character and make it a movie about his boyfriend instead! I despised the main character...he was everything I could possibly dislike about a person all rolled up into one.
He's a multi-time cheater on the same person, a coke-head, a jerk, very promiscuous, makes (unwelcome) decisions for other people...throw in some domestic abuse and you've just about covered it.
He's someone I'd be ashamed to know...needless to say, it was impossible to sympathize with his wretched character. And I can't say I'm happy with the clear stereotypes of "gay life" being portrayed from the very beginning.
Movie Review: Ground breaking
Summary: 1 Stars
Or is that rock breaking!!! You'll see what I mean if you waste your time with this one. 90 minutes of two guys in their pyjamas carrying rocks back and forth from one pile to another. The symbolism wasn't lost on me, I recognised it for what it was, rubbish. It was a relief when the lead characted met his fate.
