HIM - gay themed short film

[@EmoRobot1723]

I loved how the dad quickly smiled and accepted then went to “brag” to his wife. Goals. This is the type of parent I want to be in the future.

I love that understanding father. The father accepts it in the best way, he sits on the couch, takes his beer, smiles and calls Andri's mother to break the news. I wish all parents were so understanding and accepting.

[@matthewfawver26]

This is so well done. Everyone is commenting on the father's reaction, which is great. But I was really struck by the son. The way the actor portrayed that moment of pure fear when you are faced with verbalizing what is going on, was so real. His father is confronting him in the kitchen and the look on his face exudes that intense knowledge that if he says what he wants to say, everything from that moment on will be different. Stunning.

I am the father of a gay son, he came out to me at 16, I loved him for his confidence and trust in me to fully accept him as he was born, only parents who’s minds have been destroyed by religions would not accept and love their children as they are. If everyone was honest and full of love the world would be a better place.

That is how it's supposed to work. Too often, parents don't understand that if their kid happens to be gay, they are still the same son or daughter they loved before they found out. The father's reaction to the note is priceless. This shows a father that truly loves his son.

Beautiful location shot at the end with the two boys walking. My favorite part was the dad’s reaction to the note. Then calls to his wife enthusiastically, like he can’t wait to tell her, “Honey! Guess what!…“ Pretty funny.

OMG what a beautiful short. It touched on the real cultural awkwardness a normal teenage boy would feel from friends and family. But then for him to gather the courage to see it through in a clean and positive way was truly inspirational.

I can relate a lot to this film. Apart from it's very well executed audio and cinematography, the writers did an amazing job. I remember when I was this age, sending the same messages., outed, and my family would always ask "When are you bringing a girl with/home?" and I would dodge the question. They honestly portrayed the nervousness of the main actor really well. What he was going through in his head, I felt. I went through it as well. So well done. Bravo. His mom on the phone and not realizing her son dressed up with cologne is sad, but I can relate. Is "halftime" such an issue in Norway? asking for me. Also. That reaction only happens in EU countries. I grew up in South Africa. You remember how Brian drove that car over a speedbump? Like sparks flying and car veering... that's how people react in the rest of the world

[@LeoChiu229]

What a sensational film! I enjoyed it. Anyway, Andri was hesitant to answer his father's questions whether is a girl and what's her name. He then made an excuse that he was tired and wants to take a nap retreated to his bedroom then secretly setting up with his boyfriend to arrange for a date. He decided to write a little note left it on the table of their living room revealing his boyfriend's name is Tomas. Then left the house on his way to hook up with his boyfriend. When his father picked up that little note, he began to laugh and probably inside of his mind thinking, "Well, I just can't believe that you had a boyfriend." "But that's all right, we understand and we love you." If Andri were to return home, one of his parents will probably ask him, "How was your date going?" "Did you have a good time?' PS. I am a young gay Asian male & proud.
