immediately after i watched this sweet, uplifting short, i heard a lady on tv saying she believes her son is "mentally ill" because he's gay. how can people be so fucking ugly and hateful? the only consolation is that her whole close-minded, bigoted, ignorant generation will die out soon, and gay kids will watch more films like this one and realize that the love they feel for people of the same gender is normal and beautiful.
It's so rare that we get sweetness. We get tragedy. We get trauma. We get ostracized. We get, sometimes, some semblance of a victory, even. But we rarely get sweetness, tenderness, innocent love and joy. We rarely get our childhoods acknowledged, not like this. There's no abuse. There's no violence. There's very little humiliation, no more so than any other kid this age would go through, as far as we can tell. There's very little danger, no more than any other kid acting on a crush. There's very little drama. It's just cute. What a gentle little film.
i want to see this as a full length film. we need more LGBT-positive but child appropriate films like this to show kids that it’s okay to be who you are and someone, somewhere will always accept you.
you know how sometimes, if you're sad enough, it's as if you can feel your whole heart grow heavy in your chest cavity? like the ribs and sternum caging that tired muscle might really break?
and you know how sometimes, when you've got a Crush-with-a-capital-C on someone, it kind of feels the same? you've got jitterbugs in your gut. you're flushed. the difference between elation & dread grows smaller with each exhausted, wired yawp of your heart.
this short feels like solace for every time i've thought my heart has really been broken. this short feels like falling in love in a prelapsarian world; that is, there is no pain, there is no sorrow, there is only goodness & a forgiving light.
also i've had a long day so yah i bawled my eyes out what the fuck do u want me to do about that
