Watched 2x4, a movie about an Irish immigrant working in construction in New York City. He's bisexual, drinks and does drugs because he was sexually abused by his uncle. Don't recommend it. First of all, rape or any sexual abuse is a terrible crime but I'm not convinced that it turns people gay or bi. Second, while the character may consider being bi or gay to be a bad thing, the movie considers the main character's sexual orientation to be a worse fate than his drug abuse. Aside from that, the movie had subtitles because you couldn't understand their brogue.I can understand Irish all right, but the film is so poorly made that the sound was terrible, lighting was whatever they had and the acting unbearable. The ethnic stereotypes made me angry.
So, two thumbs down.
An older gay man's musings about sex, chastity, food, photography and whatever I want to talk about.
