#gay movie

I’ve watched “Wilde”. It was on my to-watch list for a pretty long time, thanks to @xenolinguistics-department​ ’s Instagram it was there even before I started making different segments for different actors. Be sure, though - I watched it because of Michael Sheen. I’ve seen clips from this movie in so many Ineffable Husbands Human!AU videos… Well, Michael Sheen is twenty-eight years old in that movie and it’s just illegal to be so young, pretty and charming! Have you seen those eyes? (And lips, and buttocks which were shown for the whole screen…) I probably should confess – I have read “The Portrait of Dorian Gray” and I didn’t like it… It felt boring and pretentious. I’ve read some of Oscar Wilde’s short stories (yes, the one about the giant too) and, what’s the most important - “The Importance of Being Earnest” – I’ve seen twice in the theatre and it was great! So, I’m a little familiar with Oscar Wilde’s works, but not a big fan of it. I’ve also seen Stephen Fry for the first time in that movie and I liked his performance a lot. I also wanted to make a note – I don’t know how historically accurate it is, so I’m not going to judge it those grounds. I enjoyed this movie so much! It’s dramatic, it’s romantic, it’s sensual (I was going to write sexy, but this word is just not good enough). I’ve seen so many beautiful naked young men in this movie. A lot of them was Jude Law, but I’m not saying it’s something bad. I cried a few times while watching – a lot of times, when I saw Michael Sheen, during the scene (Spoilers!) when Oscar and Bosie had a meeting in prison and started holding hands through the bars and I definitely cried in the end, which I didn’t expect to be at least slightly happy, however, it was. So, watching queer movies with no particular actors in them.

I was going to watch this movie ever since the scandal in 2016 – when the whole story about “La-La Land” and “Oscar” happened and everybody was so angry about it I thought that probably should watch the winning film too and see if it’s as bad as everybody’s saying. I’ve watched “Moonlight” and no, it’s not that bad. It’s not bad at all, but I guess, I can understand why people, who don’t appreciate representation didn’t like it. It’s not very interesting. It’s boring. But it’s very beautifully shot – all those scenes, plans and cuts. Mahershala Ali was very good and I totally do understand why he got an “Oscar”. I was also happy to see Janelle Monáe! Never saw her in movies (yes, I didn’t watch “Hidden Figures”) and find out that she’s not only a cool singer but a good actress too. I hope that we will move to some point when movies including various representation will be not only representative and beautiful (art-house) but also interesting for a simple audience member (like me).
