Movie Reviews of Full Speed
Movie Review: A Truthful Portrayal
Summary: 3 Stars
Looking at this movie, one would think that France, especially among teenagers, is quite a 'wild west' place. Apparently, they don't believe in settling disputes peacefully; just get a gang and beat up one's enemy, or just shoot him. However, one aspect becomes quite clear. Most of the violence revolves around 'homopreferance.' I'm not sure that Samir being Arab was truly a factor; he seemed to be accepted as a person. All the problems occurred due to his gender inversion. When he tried to 'come on to Quentin, he was rightly rebuffed in disgust. When one of the group is killed trying to defend Samir, it is he who takes up the gun. Again, it seems clear that the dead friend wasn't defending Samir's inversion; it was an act of decency to defend another human being in danger.
This is one movie where gaysex is presented in the way that the overwhelming proportion of the population views it. The person is worth protecting, even if his inversion is disgusting. That, in no way, condones his chosen sexprefernace. If your teens are willing to watch a subtitled movie, this one raises these orientation and violence questions that could prove useful discussing as a family.
Summary of Full Speed
The wonderful and ambitious film examines issues of race, art and romance both gay and straight in modern France through a quartet of very diverse young friends united by a common factor: their unrequited love for one another.Art House & International DVD Video
