Heaven | Queer Short Film

[@charlesjackson4132]

How sweet and beautiful. When I was in High School (1970) my best friend knew I was gay but had no idea I was in love with him. Then one day he read my diary and it was all out. I found out we loved each other. It turned hellish high school into Heavenly High School. Time, the Navy and other events separated us. This film reminds me of him. I gauged all men after that based on him. Only one in 66 years has matched him. Both are dead now. But this film reminds me of the wonderful memories I do have. Thank you!

[@bazpitch3360]

that's heartbreaking. i hope you're doing okay

[@charlesjackson4132]

@@bazpitch3360 Thanks, I am doing wonderfully. Only one other man met his high level to me. So rather than be disappointed, I decided at this late time in my life to live with wonderful memories rather than try to create two fantastic loves. I am more content now that I have resolved myself to memories rather than searching. And more in love with me than every before. Kind of you to respond and be concerned. Namaste'.

i think that was very beautiful story, thanks for sharing it with us

[@MyPechangaSlotMachineVideos]

I wish more gay cinema had happy endings like this!!! I'm so glad I found this!

[@messengerpdx]

I loved this short film. But there are many, many gay movies with happy endings. There are just as many or more straight movies with sad and tragic endings. Let us queers be human, fallible and unique to our difficult stories and pain...not always a product of feel-good Hollywood fairy tales that mimic heterosexual romance.

[@ArthurBrinkman-c5z]

It's really nice to see young guys admitting and more importantly accepting who they are. If I could have accepted myself for who I was at that age my life would have been much less complicated. Thing's in the 60's and 70's were much different than things are now. I hope things get better for the young people today. Accepting yourself for who you are can be a very difficult thing to do.

[@xxkarlosxxxxxx7233]

Yes one day coming out will be a thing of the past and evetroney can be who ever they wanna be or are... No more hiding no more shame only Live Your Truth, Leave Your Life and be happy

[@BBKoVI]

@@aspirer7268 I feel your pain, I'm in a similar boat. Turning 45 soon and missed out on almost everything.

[@BBKoVI]

@@aspirer7268 Well 45 isn't far from 48... I really wish I could have done it all when I was younger - less jaded, better looking and all that comes (or should come) with that.. Just wanted to reinforce what you said: Life is short, kids, so live it while you can. Don't just sit wishing and waiting for something, it may never come.

[@frogsmoker714]

@@BBKoVI O come on!!!! You guys are still almost babies!!!!! You've got a lot of life ahead of you yet ---- go for it!!!

[@BBKoVI]

@@frogsmoker714 It's all relative, I guess, but I can't escape the fact that I'm middle-aged - if I make it to 90 (IF) I'm halfway there, and all the good years (25-30 of them) are behind me, wasted. Not to drag this on, but just how many more years of potential sex life do I have left? I wouldn't know..

I am the only straight person watching these because they have good plot and they're interesting, nice

[@briccup4491]

Sweet little fairytale! Really beautiful and well done in so little time! 👍🏼❤️

[@Drosa826]

That was so sweet. I was thinking, she was going to embarrass herself because that look they gave each other by the bathroom spoke high volume.

[@Al3xMR]

Can anybody explain me why I am this addicted to gay short films?! I just can´t stop seeing them. This one was a really good one.

[@janosattilalakatos1665]

Guys! This short film is very cool! I love it! I watch it every 2 mounts! Thank you for this film! 🙏😘😍💋

[@gnirolnamlerf593]

The telling look was Jake's when Tom left for the bathroom. "Why is he leaving? He doesn't want to have a chance to be with me?" Jake's expression that followed Tom's stare at the end of the nosebleed "treatment" was a bit less definitive, which produced the suspense at the end. Was Jake just confused at the bathroom door or happy? Who is opening the door to be with Tom? The idea of the nosebleed treatment also contributed to the suspense as Jake sent Tom back into the gathering looking pretty silly, like he was volunteering for every question in class. Great final line: "Truth is, I wanted it to be you." The shyness of both comes through very well. A nice understated film.

[@BTURNER1961]

According to what I hear, these days this is not aspirational. Its now plausible! The world sure has changed since I was in middle school.

[@noabutterfly2607]

"i feel like of i don't tell him tonight i'm just gonna die" that was so funny for no reason :D (it's also very representative of my dramatic ass)

[@donnydav4237]

I had the biggest grin while watching that ending ☺️☺️☺️

[@lawrenceharris7369]

Terrific✌🏾

[@aerialexplorer772]

Given for how long he lusted after him, and how hard he did so, he didn't seem very surprised or happy when he found out at 6:04 that his feelings were being reciprocated.

[@chucho_qmp]

HE IS IN SHOCK, you monster!

[@aerialexplorer772]

@@chucho_qmp Good point, yes he might have been in shock :)

[@frostywizlord1682]

Not only that he was in shock, it'd be weird if he reacted like Tom Cruz did on Oprah Lol.

[@frogsmoker714]

Shock or not! I expected him to be throwing his arms around him and ........

Okay I am deleting my comment I just reached the ending 😂

[@Shadowman820]

Most of the time it is not seeing how only maybe 10% of the population is not straight chances are a guy you're crushing one will be straight .

[@Shadowman820]

@Michael Sharp I don't know when you were a teen but back in my day it was pretty uncommon for guys to be out at all at that age , I certainly was not .

[@raydaveed]

@@Shadowman820 Most of the time you can pick up signs if the person is queer or not some faster than others but still. It seems people are just obsessed with straight guys and don't open their eyes. I'd never fall for a straight guy unless i had mixed signals and even then knowing their straight would turn me off immediately.

[@alsimanche]

The chance of this to happen in real life is like 10% lol..but i'm glad it has happy ending

Makes a change to see it working out in a gay film!

[@MrBillpops]

Thumbs up on this video for the present day in the 21st century and a feel good end. However not representative of the real world in my opinion. The panic and fear of coming out and rejection that might follow I feel ya. Teens today year 2021 have no concept. In another time this situation may have had dramatically different ending. I’m just pointing this out to those in this more open world of the freedom you have to express your feelings was not so not so very long ago. In 1964 I would have to leave that party rather than play 7min in heaven, yes folks the game is that old

[@davidgervais7840]

You kinda missed the point. Gay guys, lesbians and non binary people can’t just find an out of the way spot at a party and start making out the way you two did. Every time a gay guy (can’t speak for anyone else) wants to try something like that, he, and the other guy, have to fear the possible reactions of the people around them. The consequences of misjudging that can be serious harmful, immediately and in their community afterwards. Even in places that should be safe, there is always a little fear. And then, there are places in the world where if people even suspected what they might be doing in the bedroom they would be beaten or arrested or even killed. This movie is a charming scene but it does not reflect the true situation of nonconforming people very often. It is something you and the GF do not experience. I think that is why this film was made.
