Taiwan gay movie

Board index » Chris Knipp » Movies. Users browsing this forum: Google [Bot] and guests. Posted: Thu Jul 11, am. The film is both epic, and intimate. And intensely colored, perhaps a taiwan too much so. Above all it gay replete with young male eye candy. There isn't really that much about the market.

There are a lot of swoony closeups of smooth taiwan faces, torsos and butts, and intimate sexy closeups of a rugby game and more than one sequence of nude male bathing in all of which the homoerotic aspect is more than hinted at, though there is no male kissing - not any kissing, in fact - or sex. The emphasis gay on longing and sadness.

There is a heartbreaking, as well as slightly confusing, sequence of the three young men plunging riskily into a dangerous surf, with a teasing suggestion that a tragedy might be averted, though it's only a tease. The young woman stands by. Did I say this is a time travel movie? Something like that, only not as complicated, happens here.

One of the young men, Chen Yao-hua Hsia Teng Hungthe protagonist, if you like, is Back from the Future, visiting for a lengthy stay froma movie of masks and Covid. At the present time, as the film begins, he works in the butcher stall of his father Chen Bao Ding Edison Song in the market. When he's up on the roof trying to persuade his father to stop dancing up there with a sword, he's suddenly transported to when his father was young, 30 years earlier.

In most of the film we see Chen Yao-hua, who becomes known as Liu Hung-hui, being taken for a highschooler who had gone missing, at a time when his father is young and handsome. And he's also in love with another man, movie that wasn't at all okay - as it is, relatively, in Yao-hua's time, since in same sex marriage was legalized in Taiwan.

Gay desire existed back then too, of course, but met with serious obstacles. Yao-hua encounters his young father and there are intimate, homoerotic moments even, perhaps oddly, between them. Yao-hua also sees his older father when he gets back back to and gives him a bath, also intimate.

Yao-hua falls for her, while realizing that his younger father-to-be is gay and in love with another of what becomes the foursome, Chang An-jian Chu Meng-hsuan. Yao-hua becomes concerned with a developing tragedy, the disappearance of Chang An-jian. But this is not a world in which the visitor from today is able to alter events.

Things get tricky for Yao-hua and for us when he returns to the present. It turns out he is now seen to have been gone for thirty years. It's complicated, and unclear. The film doesn't wind itself up well.
