Gay Sex in the 70s (2005)
Good history with lots of very attractive bodies
I read the other review of this movie and couldn't believe we had seen the same filmmaybe we didn't. I thought this was an interesting history of an era, perhaps a unique era, and that it had an obvious beginning and an obvious end. I especially liked that the title was so mundane.
The photos of men in NYC in the 70s were spectacular and the entire story captivating, at least for me.
I went because I tend to like documentaries and I think the movie was well structured. There is a point at which it "dawns on you" and you might even get up and go at that point but it is a good history.
I wonder what Pompeii was like...
Proof (2005)
A misnomer
I read the official review and checked that I found it helpful. But I was wrong. The official, or at least what I thought was official, review ends by observing the problem with the movies was that it didn't know what it was about...
I think that is wrong, very wrong. The movie (and story and play) does know what it is aboutit has nothing to do with Proof; it has everything to do with Trust. Catherine (Kate?) trusted her father (perhaps unwisely); Carey and Catherine never trusted each other (perhaps wisely): Harold had one big opportunity to trust Catherine and he blew it.
And the story/play/film is an interesting restatement of the debate between Trust (faith) and Proof (science).
