If you haven't seen this movie, GO OUT AND RENT IT RIGHT NOW! This movie is one of the best films I have seen this year. Not only that, but it has (and I hate to use this cliche) changed my life. It is the story of two boys in a working class neighborhood in England, Jamie and Ste. It is about their coming to grips with their lives, their homosexuality, and there love for each other.
If I hadn't seen Beautiful Thing, I would never have decided to "come out" and finally be the person I knew all along I really was. The movie has moved me in a way that is hard to describe. After seeing it, I searched the web for info on it, and found the official Beautiful Thing Web Site, and joined the e-mail list there. Through the e-mail list, I have met a really great bunch of guys (and girls), who made me realize that staying hidden was only throwing away the best years of my life.
So, now here I am, "Out" on the web, and starting to come out to a few close friends. A big thanks to Jonathan Harvey, and Channel Four Films for making all this happen!
(P.S. Beautiful Thing also has an absolutely incredible soundtrack - the entire story is based on and around the music of The Mamas and the Papas, and Mama Cass. If you haven't listened to them, give 'em a try!)
