Yep, sounds familiar alright.

Sounds like a good movie. Also sounds like a good plot for a fanfic.

Umm...i just bought the DVD because I couldn't find it in Blockbuster near my home. Gaaaah, I have to say I wasted 15 bucks! Am I the only one here who doesn't like it? The storyline was okay. But the characters are quite annoying. And those Shakespear's quotes just didn't go so well, they felt distracting. Some beautiful cinematography though.

Edit - "Show me love" is much better, imo.

I watched this movie a couple of months ago. I had heard about it and downloaded it so I could watch it [just because it's not available on DVD here, of course

I am *totally* anti-piracy

], because of the whole atmosphere - teen angst, lesbian love, school uniforms, secret encounters, etc.

This is what it's about:

Mary Bradford (Mischa Barton) is a shy, naive, freshman newcomer to a fancy girls boarding school where she strikes up a friendship with her two senior roommates, the overachieving Tori Moller (Jessica Paré ), and the voraciously poetry reading, unapologetic, closeted lesbian Paulie Oster (Piper Perabo). As Mary tries to adjust to her new suroundings, with some guidence from the local groundskeeper Joe Menzies (Graham Greene), she soon learns that Paulie and Tori are lovers. When Tori, under pressure from her classmates, wants to break it off with Paulie, she resorts to extreme measures to win Tori back.

These are the 3 girls...

Anyway. I liked it, in general. But it could have been soooooo much better. The acting was great, but the character of Paulie is a little too cliché for my taste. If I were a lesbian, I'd pretty pissed to see another lesbian woman portrayed as 'butch' in all the worse way: wearing large, manly suit and tie for some school dance, etc. Why do people insist in this cliché of "butch and femme"? I mean, even if it's true to some extent, there is plenty of lesbian couples in which both women are overall feminine and look absolutely straight - and go to parties wearing dresses, not large manly suits. I think that insisting on that image of "feminine girl with the dress and butch girl with suit and tie" is pretty ridiculous. Yes, I know she wasn't in a suit and tie the whole movie, but still, lol, it's still cliché. And what annoyed me about that was that the movie has this whole indie attitude of like "hey, let's show how it really is", and it succeeds in many many aspects, but then brings in that cliché and then ruins that vibe.

So, I'd like to see if people who have seen it here share my opinions or not

For all the others, make sure you watch the movie!

It has some REALLY graphic scenes!

*turns on fan* Very different from all those cheap erotic movies, these ones look so real and HOT!

I love this film. i saw it for the first time maybe a year ago. And then I saw it for 4-5 times and I cry, cry and cry...The movie is so strong, powerful, emotional. But I don't like the end of it. Girls should run away from everybody and love each other.

So this movie is one of the most favourite mine...

Maybe it's so because a lot of things in my life was closely connested with it for that period of my life...

forre · 24-01-2005, 20:03

I'd say as staringelf, - it's generally not a bad movie but could be better. The story looks real enough. Can be recommended.

I didn't like the ending either. It could have been good, but they messed it up completely in my opinion, it was supposed to look very deep but it turned out to look pretty cheesy. And, yeah, if you're gonna go cheesy, at least put the two girls running away and loving each other

I think I've seen that movie... does it have a forest and some huge bird involved?

Since I'm not sure, I better not comment...

Yep

QueenBee · 24-01-2005, 20:53

Ooohhh... well I can't remember MUCH of it.. at first I was sort of excited when I found out the girls were a couple, I figured it would be a nice story to follow. But I took breaks inbetween the movie 'cause it got boring alot. The ending was nothing special either. I was really expecting something more powerful... it didn't really make me *think*.

She didn't think much of it at first?!

Yeah, that's realistic.

I'd like to see this but I won't. Too shy to rent it.

Honestly, I rarely see that. It'd be nice if I saw it more often, but no.

But really, I was awestruck when a girl on what was already my favorite show, (Rescue Me on FX for the people in the US, I can't recommend it enough) completely normal looking, came out as gay (or maybe it's just a phase!

). But it sucked that they didn't develop that story line very much. Hopefully they will go into that more in the 2nd season coming up. I still remember how it went:

Mom: "Do you know what your daughter did today?"
Dad: "No, what now?"
Mom: "She was sent home for making out in the hallway."
Dad: "What? That's against the rules?!"
Mom: "With a girl."
Dad: "Oh...Seriously?"

But thankfully her Dad was cool with it. In fact, not just cool with it, he seemed to be encouraging her to go ahead with it. Just what I would have done.

It was the mother that never seemed to get over it.

Now where would you come up with an idea like that?

I have read what happens, and I can say that's not the right thing to do. #1, ever heard of "If you love something, let it go"? And #2, as the song goes, suicide is extremely self-righteous.
