Like Minds

Because once a week is enough for a class blog...

So today I'm cheating. I'm not writing about a book as much as something that should be novelized NOW. It's a film, a film written and directed by the same man. I don't believe he intended the complexities that come from the film. Like it or not hes caused a mini revolution!

Ok, yeah not really. However it has been sometime since I've seen a film that hits me hard enough that I can spend hours after debating the plot and scouring the Internet for bones. There are plenty of people like myself who have come up with their own answers. The director isn't much help in the matter the story is much more than he intended and the actors have so much chemistry that the tension jumps off of the screen causing some people to blame the movie of being anti-gay when nothing in the movie concretely even suggest a gay theme but the actors performances.

This discussion will go into "gay" themes and ideas so if that offends you.


STOP.

You may also drop and roll if it pleases you.


So the film, "Like minds" renamed and dumbed down for it's straight to DVD US of A release to "Murderous Intent". Because who would rent a movie with a title that actually has to do with the story line.... ugh

Anyway, this is not about my hate for our country. The movie starts with actor Eddie Reidman (Alex) he has been charged with the Murder of his friend Tom Sturridge (Nigel). The film continues on in flash back form exposing the twisted relationship these two boys had focusing on gestalt psychology and the idea of sociopaths. The ending is left to interpretation.

... To Be Continued.
