Negative Positive
Title: Unexpected, unending, unsettling, unpleasant
Review: I expected a deep story that would bring insight to understanding the termols that define the culture and philosphy of a thrid world country. What I found was a common story dealing with the ordinary lives of gay men overpowering the wills of younger, and very poor, gay boys.I can accept a story of a gay lifestyle. It is common enough. But there was no effort to give the characters depth beyond identifying the adult as wealthy and the boys as poor and desperate to please. The senseless killing that highlighted these young men's behavior brought no meaning to the story, expect to realize that death leads to death. And life goes on. I do not think that what was told in this film was any different than what might be told in New York, Paris or London. Filming the story in Medellin, Colombia may have given it cult status, but it failed to give it any meaning.
Is the review positive or negative?
