Butch Camp

Oct 16, 2007

I have just watched a movie called Butch Camp. Because it's gay-related that I can't write comments on my so-called str8 blog. It's quite frustrating indeed. I can't show this kind of materials to my str8 friends, not saying my churchmates and parents. After watching this movie, I am so eager to share with someone.

This movie is very nice, features in USA, during the time of homophobia. Matt is very cute, he's very smart and sweet. He's full of knowledges but working in bank as loan officer. 3 years after ex relationship, he's dare not to develop another one but seemed so eager to have someone to hug, his dream is having a dinner with Gypsy musician. Fun is he enrolled a Butch Camp, organized by a lesibian, aims in training gay to stand against those homophobia-males or public. Matt regarded it as a chance to have a change. Indeed he changed a lots during the training. He's happened to come across another guy, Rod, who was with a girl friend. Rod is a interesting person. He's hunky but his features are very sensitive. He knows music. It's very sweet when Matt and Rod spoke out Beethoven the Fifth, and Rod let Matt won the ball game. Rod is puzzled about his feeling but he's the brave one. He told his friend, he told his gf, and he's not one who was dare to say " I love you" but Matt stopped him. Matt was delicate, a fragile one. He's very invulnerable, fun nervous.

I think this is a fairy tale type of story. A bit too fairy to an old guy like me. But it's still good to have watched this movie.
