This film blew my mind. So well acted by two young actors. You could tell that the Christian guy was curious and maybe gay. It was intense because of the way this film was produced! So slick and well done! Loved the split screen too!

That could have been such a good movie, but it just ends. Ends on a happy note which is nice, but the story was soooo incomplete. Disappointing.

Huh, it's Flash's dad. xD

wow!

That was sooooooo NICE!!

The split screen was cool at first but became annoying after a while. Still a cool movie though

A male voice, probably his father, calls out to Derek. Derek leaves the room. We don't know what happens in that time. Sean discovers what appears to be Derek's diary. We don't know what it says either, but from Sean's reaction it seems to be something disturbing. Derek returns disturbed. Sean wants to kiss him. Derek pulls away at that moment. Excellent short film that masterfully handles ambiguity and silences.

boring

Buenas noches wow que bien es encontrarse un corto antiguo me preguntó cómo lucen actualmente los chicos del corto y que ha sido de ellos Lunes 10:26pm 16/09/2024

Buenas noches no sé si me puedan entender osea mi idioma pero encontrarme estos cortos en KZbin y saber que son de hace años me producen tristeza ya que ya no estamos en esos años cuáles buenos los años 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 y 15 que para mí fueron geniales ya que sentía como si aún se sintiera un poco antiguo este corto ya envejeció y falta aún más que envejezca Lunes 10:24pm 16/09/2024

Phenomenal and heart-wrenching. Jay Gillespie and David Rogers are fearless in these emotional, difficult roles. I now a committed Alan Brown fan.

Hampus should have known better than to interact with Björn the way he did. His behavior was over the top for a straight guy/gay guy friendship, with pretty loose boundaries. Are straight guys really this stupid?

At first I thought that Björn was jerking himself off.

He talks about Christian but nowhere do I hear the gospel being given?. Just the writers trying to make Christianity look homophobic and bigoted. As of being, same-sex attracted is this cardinal sin that usurps all other sins and that there is no forgiveness for?

This is my comfort short since I was 14 and was struggling with depression, anxiety and a toxic family and homophobia... It's very dear and special to me til this day ❤

The guys looked great with their shirts off💕. I was hoping they would kiss❤️❤️❤️❤️

The blond guy got mad when his friend kissed him because he had feelings for his friend too. But when his friend kissed him, he had to address those feelings and figure out who he is and who he wanted to be. I was waiting for the blond guy to say, "Wait" as his friend got out. Like he was going to go for it.

Beautiful..

awesome ending. usually its not so happy

Another depressing movie with a crap end.

Great actors preforming the characters, with an excellent script.

😭😘😘

Ces garçons ne vont pas bien. Moi non plus.

This is so sad; no coming out or admittance of sentiments of love, this loaded with baggage, can ever lead to anything else than dysfunctionality then, probably, a co-dependent form of relationship. This must have been written by a very sad soul, which hurts twice as much. Hopefully, with eleven years of maturation, may have led you to some growth and love, for watching a friend you were afraid to help, being raped, is more than pathetic.

Interesting story that ended with an underdeveloped film that flopped.

yep, any day on a farm...hot farm boys attracted 'ta those tight muscular bodies...I wanted my hot buddy when we were 15....'n we found our...."Coming of Age"....Don't ever let a hot boy get away!!...Why do these films mostly have unhappy endings?? Our ending was BF's all through HS, 'n solid friends to this day Shago

This was made 22 years ago. I'm curious as to what both of them think about this and about gays (in reality).

So, did Andy leave his truck headlights on through the entire scene? He's lucky to get it started.

OK, some of you might be able to "see" this, but at 15:30 for just a few seconds, Brad looked a lot like Jonathan Taylor Thomas (at the end of the series).

Definitely. Definitely no "a."

Wow, these actors had me hanging onto every word and emotion. Excellent script, well written, choreographed and filmed. The cracks in their voices, emotional terror in expression and body language spoke volumes. I saw love beneath the trauma.

I’m just going to believe their friendship ended after this

"Singing" _America The Beautiful_ is just f*ing bizarre to have in a video like this because of a bad script.

Good film but I really thought it would be a happier ending... That they would actually become partners and lovers

Very interesting idea that could have been a dynamite story/video. But, unfortunately, so much of it was poorly executed [edited] from the split screen to a sizeable portion of the dialogues. It's ultimate downfall is, of course, the insistence and forcing of the religious/corporate/homophobic ideas. That brought it down to a base level of typical propaganda that for some reason, appears to be "expected" in stories like this. That's too bad as both of these actors are actually quite good and could shine with a better script. This has potential if they would do a re-write with a more realistic story and truthful Director. But that's doubtful at this point, especially knowing the intent is to appeal to the weak of mind -- hence the pro-religious bs.

Wow

A cuántos muchachos les falta el valor de ser quienes son en realidad, es más, en de mostrar lo que sienten. El entorno es lo que les frena por eso mismo el entorno se califica de MALDITO.

Artistry ❤

I did,tunderstand the ending …. It left the story unfinished …..

what songs were playing in the show

He throws his waste to the ground ... should he do that?

It was a very realistic or close to realistic representation of the situation we can have; the homophobia, the pain, the fear it resides in every gay person's mind. The short film tells us how deep the trauma can run, how much we can suppress ourselves because we know not only being gay isn't acceptable but also openly despised. It also tells us to what level the hatred against gays can go. Personally, I'm terrified of being openly gay in front of anyone because it's such a big thing in our society, being gay. It can ruin your whole life, you can lose your family, your friends just because you are a little different from them. I don't know what will happen. Frankly, I fear the kind of situation Brad found himself in isn't so much far off from the reality, it can happen and no one would dare interfere because for them gays are an abomination. These kinds of films help in at least making the masses aware about the reality. So thanks to the makers of this short film. And hats off to the actors, they did such a wonderful job.

Isolation because a person is deaf, can be the same Isolation when you are gay and can't find anyone. A very touching short film, I liked it
