Movie Reviews of Consequence (1977) (Sub B&W)
Movie Review: Parents of Gay Children, Be Aware!
Summary: 5 Stars
A great film. Non manipulative, matter of fact, non-sentimental. A powerful love story. There is a priceless scene in this film: Meet My Parents. The conversation becomes impossible when the parents are IGNORANT fools and do not want to listen or understand what their son or his friend has to say. They came in good faith, but got kicked out. From here on, the story is unwinding masterfully and emotionally. What a great testament of time for European gay history, what a great lesson for parents! Bravo!Movie Review: Consequence
Summary: 5 Stars
The look is a bit dated, but the subject matter holds up really well. This is a touching love story about a gay couple trying to live their lives together. The orange subtitles can be very distracting. The black and white subtitles are hardly readable but this is a good movie. Both lead actors give great performances.
Movie Review: the Consequence
Summary: 5 Stars
I think this movie deserves the five stars I've given. It's a very, very good film for those young people struggling and coming out to their parents of which the parents don't want to understand about their child. although it's got some years on it and the subtitles it still should be watch by all..... that are open- minded...Movie Review: Universal Themes, Great Performances = A Wonderful Film
Summary: 4 Stars
Wolfgang Petersen's The Consequence is a wonderful reminder of what great film making is all about. Petersen did not need a huge budget, overpowering soundtrack and special effects to tell a compelling and heartfelt story about two doomed lovers. Instead he was able to concentrate on filming a convincing story while eliciting two subtle yet powerful performances from his lead actors. This is not just a gay interest film; the themes of loneliness, persecution and love are universal and the result is a film that resonates long after viewing.
Thank goodness The Consequence has been preserved on DVD. It's a film that deserves to be seen. If it were not for the overly large and distracting subtitles, I would have given it five stars. Buy it, rent it, see it!
Movie Review: An early 70s gay cinema gem
Summary: 3 Stars
Fantastic, considering the time. This is truly part of the cannon of early gay cinema that must be seen. Jurgen Prochnow gives an outstanding performance as the older man. The story is a brilliant snapshot of survival in a time of legal and societal oppression that must be remembered. This film reminded me that it was not so long ago being gay was synonymous with the idea of deviant behaviour punishable by law. Highly recommended.
