AAA review: Taekwondo (2016), Gay Love
"Taekwondo" is directed by Marco Berger and Martin Farina. It is pure gay love movie in Argentina. Fernando is on a vacation with all male friends in Buenos Aires. All the brothers in the class can naturally speak freely. They all talks topics from the sexual experience to the emotional experience, from now on to the future. Once, Fernando invited his classmate from the Taekwondo class to join them. Unexpectedly, this classmate likes boys. When he came to the environment of this men's class, the relationship between the boys changed suddenly.
For most of movies, when you watched them once, you will not watch them again. However, I have watched this movie 3 times. The more I watched it, the more I feel deeper. In fact, the story of this movie is very simple. It can be said that there is no story at all, and it is completely tempted by all male bodies. Directors and photographers know how to capture many male with lenses, and many of them are silent and extremely tempting. Fortunately, the actor's acting is fresh and natural, and the supporting actors are not overwhelming, setting off the shame and subtleness of the male protagonist. After a lot of unclear, the two boys have never known each other's feelings and thoughts, so until the end of the movie, they can't hold their inner excitement and express his love to the other. In one sentence, I can kiss you.
In the final, I want to talk about the gay rights. Although in this movie, it does not directly show the gay right, being a gay in this movie is still not a wise choice. At the end of this move, and in the almost dark room, the gay dared to ask his lover whether he can kiss him or not. Being a gay cannot freely express their love in public. In my personal life, a lot of straight male saying that, “You can be a gay, but don't let me see it, don't show it in public. It’s your own business to do it, but you can’t come out of disgusting people.” I know it. It is still not easy for gays being themslves. There are a lot of works that need to be done. If we do nothing, being a gay will not be easy. Anyway, in this movie, being a gay is still a very beautiful thing. Hence, I will recommend this move to whom love boys love film.
