OK, to be frank, this movie was not ever meant to be the best work of cinematography ever, and perhaps the director and the producer may agree. With that said, let's look at it for what it is: an instant cult movie, grotesque, exaggerated (and sometimes painfully real) look at the gay subculture of today, whether people agree with it, or not. Going to this movie with an open mind is, to say the least, the only way to enjoy it. Having preconceived notions and self righteous imperious attitude will only result in disappointment.
I went to see this movie with my best friend and guru, my yoga instructor. I had seen the movie several times, but after her unbiased and objective views, and talking about it at length, I have come to see this movie under a completely different set of eyes.
It was beautiful that two people loved each other so much that in order to stay with each other, they took the time to define their love, their limits. Amidst all the surrounding debauchery, their love prevailed, even in the most of difficult and extraordinary of circumstances.
It was equally beautiful that the red head (slut) found the true love in the Latin guy, which was very pure and exciting, and proved that just having casual sex is so much superficial and different than the feeling behind true love and the act of love making.
In regard to Niko, the main star, the realization that we all sometimes see a little bit of him within ourselves is very touching. In many ways, we often have a self view of us to be so different from the rest of the world, as if we were aliens in our own planet.
Sure, of course, this movie is crass, gross, juvenile, and almost downright delinquent. But, who cares. If you can't laugh at this movie, the very least I can recommend you seek help.
I liked it.
