Oh my god. I have to say this somewhere. At the moment I am exhausted from a roller coaster of emotions I have just experienced. My friend Jeff and I were playing pool in my basement trying to find something to watch and I eventually just left it on WTN (Woman's Television Network). It turned out to be a show about a girl who discovers she's a lesbian. The opening scene when I turned the show on saw this 16 year old girl walking with a guy and the guy says "Want to see a movie tonight?". In her mind you hear her (as a narrator) say "Why couldn't I have just said yes" Instead she says "I'm not really looking for a boyfriend right now, but I'll go as a friend". Anyway, point being I was enjoying hte show before I knew it was about lesbianism. Eventually her friend comes over and her friend starts telling her about how her mom was yelling at her and eventually they kiss. That shocked me because I had absolutely no idea that was what it was about. They end up becoming lovers in a very short time but not really telling anyone about it. The first girl (main character) falls deeply in love but is very unsure of her choice. When second girl approachs her in school to hold her hand she pulls away and says she is afraid of everyone knowing. At which point the second girl is insulted and says she can't be with a girl who is ashamed of who she is. At this point I was genuinly depressed for the first girl. I felt so sad for her. Then her parents eventually find out (long story short, of course) and her mom completely rejects it while her father just says 'it's probably a phase'. Her mom sends her to therapy and rejects her homosexuality. At this point I was genuinly angry at the mother. I actually would have gladly killed her. The girl became so depressed and started getting teased at school. Eventually, she finds out one of her teachers is also a lesbian and she gives her advise (saying to write the main characters ex-girlfriend a letter explaining why she didn't want to come out) and the two girls get back together. They go out to a party one night and when she returns home her mom grounds her for a month. Again I feel incredibly depressed. And when I say depressed I mean I was actually missing shots in pool because of this. I just wanted to be there for the girl. Anyway, right after she tells her girlfriend about her grounding the girl dumps her. She says something along the lines of "this just isn't working out, it's not worth it." Oh my god. I was grief stricken. I felt that I was this girl. And then the main character says somthing like "but....I love you. you love me, we're in love" and I could just feel her pain. The second girl comes back talking about how it was just a fling and everyone feels attatched to their first. The girl was so genuinly depressed and I was so genuinly depressed for her. She goes back home and when she tells her parents her mom says 'well thank god, maybe this can end now'. Now I'm back to being angry and sad. The girl eventually gets suspended at school for fighting a girl who comes up to her and starts teasing her, calling her dyke and making fun of her because the other girl broke up with her. Her mom decides to send her to boarding school and then the main character runs away to go to her lesbian teacher's house. The lesbian teacher talks to her and then goes to her family's house and talks to the mother. Eventually telling her that she is loosing her daughter because of her attitude. Another long-story-short and the mother starts to accept her daughter and ends up showing up at the regional Gay Pride Parade and developes a supportive attitude slowly. I don't know why. I can't explain it. Generally I would just change the channel from the minute I saw the WTN sign in the corner. But I was genuinly affected by this movie. And I feel I have to share this for some reason. The movie just took me on such an emotional run. (don't get me wrong, I didn't cry or anything!). I officially am adding this unnamed movie to my list of favourite movies. Thank you.
Hmmmmmm..... Catfights... Lesbian sex..... No wonder you liked it. Poor men, mention catfights and lesbian sex and look what happens to 'em. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Once you get past... it's a film, and it's fictional, and they all seem a bit young to have found "true love", and worse stuff happens to better people in RL and... yeah, suppose it's good that you enjoyed the film. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
