Run (2021)

A very disturbing movie! Do not watch if you get triggered!

This movie had beautiful music and good acting, but that's about where the good stuff ends. This movie seems like it was written for people who think they're allies just because they watch movies about gay people being miserable. Homophobia can be depicted well in film, especially when depicted with nuance, but "Run" almost felt like a warning for gay people, especially in how it depicts homophobic violence. The main character loses everything, and the whole movie ends in anguish and tears. It is not a movie I would suggest to anyone, especially someone who has dealt with fears of what their parents would do when they come out of the closet.

I'M CRYING T.T

I've watched the whole film today. I loved the actors Keann and JR and actually I watched it because of their visuals. But I ended loving the film as a whole, but hated how the film ended. I hated it not because the film is ugly or not worthy to watch, but just the film ended like with events that I don't want to happen to a gay couple. :(

The first half of the story features how to two MLs met and developed their love story. Maybe a bit fast (I dunno if it can be considered love at first sight), but it's still fluffy and butterflies all over. I love how domestic Mark and Gene in their little paradise. Hihihi.

But then in the second half, the turn of events happened. (D*mn that double-edged sword character of the food vendor huhuhu). Many bad events happened such as murder, jail, homophobia, and violence. I pity Gene, Mark, and Gene's mother. And I was balling because of crying on the ending. I mean for me, the events were well executed.

Overall, this movie is a masterpiece, because all the scenes are well executed. Some minor mishaps though like too much loud background music (the music suits the movie btw) and transition/fade to another scene. I may rewatch it (probably the first half) because it's good. but may not too because of the second half/last part. :(
