Imagine you wake up from a
one-night-stand and realize you will need so many more night stands than that to
be with each other.
The
movie is simply about two men, Russell and Glen, who meet at a gay club and
spend a night for random sex. The
next morning, Glen coaxes a hesitant Russell to speak into a voice recorder
about their experience the previous night. Glen
explains that the tapes is his art project seeking to explore the gap between
who people truly are and who they want to be, as demonstrated by the personas
they take on when hooking up with someone new for the first time. Thw
two grow closer and closer after conversations till Glen reveals he planned to
leave the country the next day. That's how the story begins.
I
especially love the morning scenes, when they two talk in bed after making love
the previous night. The feeling of exhaustion with your beloved is such a
comfort, they talk, they fight, they kiss and they tenderly fall for each other.
It's not cheesy, it's not fake. It's just a love story, plain and simple. And
the best gay movie since Brokeback Mountain. Melt my heart tonight.
Russell: Dad?
I got something I need to tell you.
Glen: [pretending
to be Russell's dad] What's that?
Russell: I'm
gay.
Glen: [pretends
to think] Hmm.
Russell: I
like guys, not girls.
Glen: [breathes
out slowly] Well. You know what, son. It doesn't matter to me. I love you just
the same. And guess what?
Russell: What?
Glen: I
couldn't be more proud of you than if you were the first man on the
moon.
