4.0 out of 5 stars About the dvd, July 1 2004

By

This review is from: Man I Love, the (DVD)

It seems nobody wrote about the dvd edition, so that's my main point here.
Well, the image is 1.78 non-anamorphic, but it's a very good transfer. The colors are very nice and it's quite sharp, perhaps a little diffuse, but very slightly, or maybe it's just some grain (I'm no expert), but I think it's in the source. But this is a minor thing, I really think it's good image quality. And the subtitles are optional, always a good thing.
About the movie, I'm mixed. I agree with the reviews that indicate the character motivation and other script flaws, but at the same time the actor who plays the main character won me over by the end of the movie. I mean it moved me, and I guess that's the point.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Truly Moving Love Story, Nov 21 2003

By

david_jon "david_jon" (Glen Cove, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Man I Love, the (DVD)

Few gay themed love stories are as touching and moving as this one between Martin, a gay man, and Lucas, a seemingly straight man whom he has fallen in love with.

Maybe it is the fact that Martin is living with AIDS and realizes that time is precious, or just that he goes after what he wants, but he wastes no filling Lucas in on the way he feels, a feeling which at first Lucas doesn't seem to share.

But the two become friends, and as they do we begin to realize, as does Lucas, that something more is developing, something he never thought possible...or did he? Although he has a girlfriend, Lucas wonders, as does the viewer, if there isn't something missing.

Much of the pleasure of this film is in the small touches as the story unfolds, as we see Lucas come to the realization that this new friendship is developing into something more meaningful. From here the movie unfolds to it's very moving and satisfying conclusion.

You may find yourself wanting to watch this movie more than once, especially when you see how it ends. Repeated viewings only seem to make the story more meaningful.

This movie is a story of coming out, of being true to yourself, and the tremendous power of love.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just o.k., May 19 2004

Were it not for the beauty of the main character I would have not watched this movie. It's very predictable in the "I love you/go way no I love you" conflicts. That one of the characters has AIDS and how the lover reacts is nothing new either.
