Thirst | צמא (LGBT gay short film)

[@brandonchu2198]

So beautiful It was like the one guy (in the backseat) was not even real. He was the other guy’s inner demons and desires. Was it only one person hiking literally and two people hiking figuratively? Like the main guy tried to punish himself for being gay which is why he tried to choke himself at the end, spill out all the water, get lost, and put dirt in the coffee. Was it all the internal thoughts of one guy thinking about death because he hates who he is which is gay so he hikes to try and walk away from who he is but he can’t. He can’t get down the mountain. What A beautiful display of love and hate for who we are and the inner pain of accepting ourselves.

[@dinambrose361]

Brandon Chu what about the blowjob? That mean he is masturbate? Lol I’m so confused man.

[@eugenefrankmd5433]

Righton Brandon: that is the only interpretation that makes emotional sense: the self-hate, the envy of what is unavailable, the masochistic drive of banging your head against the wall, 'cause it feels so good when you stop. This could even be a long dream sequence: his attack on the guys alleged woman friend suggests the intesity of his jealousy...the projection of resentement onto alleged straight writers by posters, the nagging, the complaints, the bitterness...this could all be about his severe depression and the spilling of water,the spilling of ejaculate, the barren emptiness of his existence,the joy he gets from getting himself into these failing stations....the why perhaps of Jewish guys in this clip may also reprsent the self hatred that Jews may have for themselves, as do gays so often. I am gay and Jewish and I can see in so many relatives, Jewish friends, the entrapment in their own constriction...

[@mrscashmorrisey1702]

That's a very interesting interpretation!!

[@daveyinparis1]

That's exactly how I viewed it. Especially when he chided, " I don't know who's more miserable because of you. Me or her."

[@johntrigger1644]

VERY GOOD INTERPRETATION - GOOD ONE!

Most gay movies have this scenes- a fight happens, they wrestle, then theres some tension , then some making out...

Sagar Thorat you forgot about (then one of them two get rejected)😭😳😢

[@OfTheMindscape]

So true, I’m so tired of that pattern. Every time I see a fight happen between two gay or questioning characters, I roll my eyes and assume they’ll make out or get really close to. It’s scary how often it happens. Writers need to be more creative that that. 🙄😪

Heartbreaking masterpiece.

[@11Garrett11]

Hardly a masterpiece and hardly heartbreaking! At least for me.

[@ChelloCat]

Its really broke ur heart when u fall in love to the wrong person...

[@moondoggieist]

I lived it. Falling in love with your best friend turned disastrous .Was friends since small children until i was 18 .Lesson: Don't push your friend who is pretty much straight even thou they experimented with you sexually for years ,I lost him forever when we physically fought when i told him i loved him more beyond friends.

[@ChelloCat]

Clifford Hutchinson best freind is better than a lover,its just how manage ur feeling love to a lover convert to best freind, i had bestfreind i never knew that i love him, until he got married, sudenlly my heart broke i felt lost him, but with all my strenght i burried that feelling.. Its hard and hurt but u, i, we can do it..

[@11Garrett11]

More like falling into fantasy.

[@Juliogonzalez-1960]

yeah

[@kadekaria9756]

chello : I have a friend, he is a man. And super handsome, he tried to kiss me, and i let him kiss my lip even thou I don't respond it. And I don't hate him or keep distance because of it. So until now we are friend, he has a boyfriend and I have a girlfriend. He respect me so much. And at other place...one of best friend wanna make a relation to me, and I don't say no or yes. I know he fall in love with me, and at weekend he always ask me out...I don't make him sad, so if my girlfriend was busy at weekend, I go hangout with him. We are bestfriend, but I can feel how he want me. Just I don't have a feeling with man, even if he's handsome. Every man I treat as my brother.

Can I get your insta I'd dear?

[@Asian19981]

I like this. I understand the pain and their desire of each other and having said that i can feel for them because i used to fall in love with a straight man too so i know what it feels like deep inside but after all we become good friends playing games to each other. I will never forget the life lesson it taught me. All and all it’s okay to get heartbroken and someday you will know it’s worth having this experience that taught me because it makes you a better person and stronger than before.

[@pavanw]

Two are gays. But one is closeted, not accepting himself.

[@iambrvndxn37]

I actually believe the second guy was his inner desires to be gay, and he was actually spilling the water and putting dirt in the coffee himself. Even the choking pain of not being able to be himself after his “SO” picks him up. So really, he was by himself the whole time he was hiking..

[@jivanvasant]

In matters of sexual attraction, it is better to act without thinking than to think without acting. Once you have bonded intimately, you will have a treasured memory forever. The lyrics to the song, The Rose, written by Bette Midler and sung by Janis Joplin, describe your situation perfectly. You can find the song with lyrics on KZbin. Best wishes.

🥵 Love is like a thirst. Just a drop of water and you want more.

[@juliancoulden1753]

Straight or gay, why can’t film makers portray gay or bisexual men as happy, normal, making good relationships, just getting on with life? Instead of constantly portraying gay men as tragic figures, who are doomed by their sexuality, and guaranteed never to be happy, find love, or be content? It’s an unrepresentative obsession. It’s a boring classic stereotype. And disappointedly formulaic.

[@sallyhu5028]

Straight Q from a straight girl. WHY do so many gay films involve a gay guy hopelessly in love with his straight - really his bi - friend? When someone doesn't love you back, move on. He doesn't deserve you. Just as movies about AIDS eventually taper off as it becomes a medical situation that is no longer a death sentence, doesn't this unrequited love situation get old, or is it that hard to be creative and come up with something that hasn't been done hundreds of times before? It seems the most intractable form of homophobia is the often repeated message by gay filmmakers that gays can't have a happy ending. Because "everyone knows" ... they're promiscuous, they don't believe in monogamy, they're so into their looks and body, they can never say no to sex whenever anyone attractive looks at them ... on and on. All lovers of great films - and what is not great about two beautiful men who love each other - deserve better than the sad, tragic endings of the overwhelming majority of gay films.

[@aaronwarner2379]

1000% agree with you

[@shafizaman357]

Well said 👍

[@DonG191]

Totally agree. Move on when you fall in love with a gay, straight, bi or married guy who doesn't love you and you find yourself hurt or devastated. It happened to my friend who fell for a straight guy in uni. Because he loved the guy but it didn't reciprocate, they fought and argued a lot. When he finished his course, they hated each other and didn't talk to each other.

[@iambrvndxn37]

I just watched this, and I agree with what you’re saying but I honestly believe, in this film specifically, he was hiking alone this whole time.. spilling the water, putting dirt in his own coffee, and making himself feel that choking pain .. to punish himself. He’s battling demons, and the other guy was his inner desires. He was really talking about himself when the second guy said, “I don’t know who’s more miserable.. me or her”.

Beautiful scenery. Minimalist. But typical tired theme - rather retro for today. Like a mini Israeli “Brokeback Mountain”. One “bi” guy who wants to remain acceptable to society with a girlfriend or wife and one “gay” guy who wants love but his love is unrequited.

I'm not necessarily saying it makes sense, but maybe it was something along those lines, desperate attempts to make yourself indispensable in your crushes eyes sort of thing? who knows.... that is if we don't go with the explanation that there was only one guy hiking and the other one is his own manifestation of homophobia and self-hatred... then it becomes something else, some sort of indirect su***de attempt.

It makes me think how in some way those crushes or loves are a kind of substitute for some of the boundaries trial relationships like you would normally have in high school under your parents watchful eye. Not saying it is a good substitute but just recognizing the ability to serve a similar scaffolding role in some cases.

One of the most toxic relationships ever depicted in film...blue-shirt guy's little story of hiking with his army buddies foreshadows a decision he'll have to make, and soon...he can either suffer in silence as the "other woman" (die where he was on the hilltop) or take a metaphorical leap of faith with the other guy (taking a literal jump off to safety, risking death) and leaving him...or make him leave her.
