-Normalization of these queer Latino young men.
-What is being gay? “There is no difference between us and heteros, I was born like this.”
-Theatrical set up, a separation of reality, acting out the steps of there interactions as gay people, IT almost seems fake, This reminded me of Brecht plays in showing the falseness of this “Reality.”
-What makes it a documentary is maybe that they are not actors?
-Sneaking around, changing into gay clothes on the street
-Dressing wild, being wild= gay
-Very intimate but also very surface, here are the signifier's of these people who are very aware of being watched and performing for the camera.
-I imagine this as a good educational video for allies about the inside life of queer folk.
-”We are exactly the same, were 100% gay” One of the boys says this about his friend while putting on neon makeup.
-”Love is knowing that you'll never be lonely again.”
- The film ends with an audio description of why the filmmaker made this. I both like and dis-like not knowing till the end why he chose to shoot in this style. It was a cool set up to dive into this world of these boys lives, it was also a little hard to follow without knowing the intention behind the film.
