Too much of everything

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Shelter is a great film. I'm sad that I just heard about it, wish I knew about it before! It's about love, all kind of love and it's not focused on sex so it's better then most of the LGBT themed movies. I've enjoyed watching it so bad that I'll probably re-watch it again. Like FRIENDS marathon. It shows an independent young man's (Zach's) life, his adventure and talent. What he has done to help his family, how hard he tried to keep everything OK and finally something good (I'd say awesome tho) happens to him. I'll say it's one of the movies you should at least consider watching. And you know for most people LGBT means just having fun and having sex. This movie totally proves it wrong.

SPOILERS. I absolutely adore this film - so much so that I watched it again the day after my initial viewing. I'm not normally into romantic films but this was an exception. The aspiring artist that's torn between his family and love and success seems a little cliché but it's somehow made individual. Trevor Wright (who is all kinds of attractive) is a brilliant actor and brings the character of Zach to life perfectly. Zach, the artist, has a freak-out about his gay tendencies and pushes away the man he has feelings for because he doesn't want to be judged. His sister's comment of "You're not a fag, are you?" was uncalled for but necessary for her character - who is extremely dislikable. Through her nonchalant attitude to life and the fact her boyfriend is more important to her than her son, we see the best qualities of her brother show through. Shaun, the older brother of his best friend, becomes a shoulder to lean on for Zach and is open about his feelings. This initially drives Zach away. When he knocks at Shaun's door, after having an internal debate, and pushes him against the wall, kissing frantically, we see the real Zach come out. His goofy grin the morning after sex is what made the film for me. He's gorgeous in the sunrise light. After many other internal debates, he finds himself in Shaun's bed again and there's an amazing scene (with the addition of well picked music) that just makes your heart melt. Then Shaun's younger brother arrives and things get messed up again. It takes a conversation with his ex-girlfriend to make Zach realise he's in love and they live happily ever after with Zach's nephew (more like his son).

This movie was incredible! I loved every second of it. The way the characters were portrayed was very unique to the gay genre. Getting to watch as Zach became a whole new person was interesting. The way he reacted and the way he cared for everyone around him was different. I'm happy to finally watch a gay movie without all the comedy, stereotypes or vulgarity. It was a very wholesome movie that ANYONE would enjoy. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE vulgar comedies like Eating Out but I wanted something different for a change and that's exactly what I found. I thought it was nice to see Shaun portrayed as a very masculine character. Instead of making him flamboyant or even slightly stereotypical they made it to the point where I thought he was straight. Honestly, I didn't know he was gay until Jeanne mentioned it. I loved that Cody grew so fond of Shaun, it was adorable.

I only recently found out about this movie and I'm so glad I did! The movie is so amazing and inspiring to watch. It is a great film and I would urge people to watch it if they have no already. However, if you like huge box office smashers with plenty of action, this movie is not for you. It's so true to real life and has the ability to inspire others. The storyline is very simple yet so interesting and moving. It's a simple movie with a beautiful meaning behind it and I'm so happy I got to see it. It is now definitely one of my best movies and I wish more people would make movies like this, instead of all the non meaningful rubbish thats out there today. I really do recommend people to watch it, especially if you are thinking about it, it is worth it and you will hopefully enjoy it as much as I did!
