MUST WATCH! OUTSTANDING! 10 out of 10!
INTELLECTUALLY stimulating to say the least. This film gives a representation of youths REPRESSION coinciding chistianity.
AMBIGUOUS even though there's vivid direction.
Simply unlike anything you've ever seen!
Dialogue is INTENSIVE! Don't miss a second!
My interpretation: Stick to your morals and convictions regardless of repercussions. Let others drown their-selves in belief, sacrifice and social acceptance. Do not withhold from intimacy. No matter how disgraceful you are to a group, never allow yourself to be shunned by others.
THE RECIPE FOR SUCCESS IN LIFE IS TO BE LIKE MICHAEL. OR ELSE YOU WILL FALL TO YOUR GRAVE LIKE MATHEW!
Spoilers: Michael and Mathew are both strong willed and seem as though they've been friends since childhood. Both are going through the same battle, they disagree with their surroundings, both choose not to accept it, but they take opposite paths to get away. Mathew accepts his circumstances and kills himself all while remaining in belief that around him is the only truth and there's nothing he can do about it. Michael sees his surroundings as false and doesn't give in to any of the belief's pressures. He makes his own decisions based on his own convictions without question thus able to PROCEED IN LIFE!
Thank you Arthur Seidelman, Frank Wedekind and the amazing cast and crew for making this film!
