Oi do chun (2009)

Oi do chun: Directed by Simon Chung. With Chi-Kin Lee, Kin-Fat Lai, Alex Wong, Guthrie Yip. Stuck in a Christian ‘rehabilitation’ camp, Ming recalls his double life, a whirlwind of sex and drugs as a rent boy, and a sedate, romantic life with the older and more conservative Yen. Secrets and lies haunt their relationship, as Ming’s mother confronts her son’s sexuality in a most extreme fashion and Yen tries to get Ming to give up hustling.

“I do think the movie that I would have given this movie a better rating. Problem is, that is just to explicit, especially in the first third of the movie. People who think u0026quot;Brokeback Mountainu0026quot; was too homo-erotic are in for u0026quot;a treat hereu0026quot; (no pun intended). And while there is no actual penetration shown (I think, I couldnu0026#39;t bear watching all the u0026quot;love scenesu0026quot; between men shown in the movie).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOf course, this owed to the fact, that I donu0026#39;t read anything before I watch movies. But still, just because this depicts homo-erotic love, doesnu0026#39;t have to be just a movie for queer men. And seeing as the story as it is, actually is pretty good (therefor still a pretty good rating that it gets from me), about human needs itu0026#39;s a shame. Of course the movie stays true to itself by showing the love between men. And almost every love scene, does have something to say. And thatu0026#39;s where some things go missing, dialog wise. The main character for example, said something about his mother, which was meant as a joke, but I didnu0026#39;t get it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo if you can bear the sight of naked men and sexual situations between them, you will get treated to a story worth watching. The director seemed amused by my question after the screening of the movie and he seems like a nice guy, but this movie just wasnu0026#39;t something I actually would watch (again)”
