The Twilight of the Golds (1996)

The Twilight of the Golds: Directed by Ross Kagan Marks. With Garry Marshall, Faye Dunaway, Jill Bernstein, Mark Shunkey. When Suzanne Stein has a genetic analysis done on her unborn child, she discovers that although she has a healthy baby, the child will most likely be born gay, like her brother, David. She must decide whether to keep the child, or to have an abortion. Her family enters a crisis about love and acceptance as she makes this difficult choice.

“A couple does all kinds of genetic testing on their unborn child to make sure it has no genetic defects, diseases, etc. What they find out is that the kid is probably gay. This raises a lot of philosophical questions for the couple (the mother especially since her brother David(Brendan Fraser) is gay). The only movie Iu0026#39;ve seen that depicts both science AND organized religion in a negative light. The movie tackles several issues including how homosexuels are treated in the home and whether or not genetic testing is immoral. For that reason, this movie is definitely worth seeing. BUT Early in the film, when the test results are first revealed, I actually laughed. u0026#39;Is that all? Who cares!u0026#39; were my thoughts. Then, for half the movie, the extremely annoying couple actually considers aborting the child. u0026#39;Your so annoying! Who cares?!u0026#39; But see the movie anyway, it really is worth seeing.”
