Films Maximus/Eating out

Reaction paper to Maximus oliveros and Eating out

We watch two films that contains Gay love and relationship that is rare to find in movies. These two movie are the same,but the first one is more casual and less revealing than the other. The blossoming of Maximos Oliveros was a film about the kid name Maximos who was gay, and it portrays about his life as a gay and how he fitted with the family. His role was more like a motherly role to his family as he washes dishes, cleans the house and almost does everything a mother does for the family and its because their mother has been owned. His family of course accepted him as the youngest sister in the family and treats him in a ladylike perspective. This show how gay people are placed in society. He also had a crush on a man which was a policeman, well from the start they became friend and as the story progresses he eventually learned a lot of things. Gay portrayed here to have a different kind of likes and preferences in comparison to male archetypes, but also ironically it is placed to our minds that gay people should and always like the same sex.

The next film is Eating out. It is about a young guy ( i forgot the name) He and his gay friend are in a crusade to find their ultimate love. The main guy disguised himself as gay to get close to the girl that he like, but the problem is he was forced to date another guy which was gay. As the story progresses he didn't fit in well with the gay guy and found himself in awkward situation most of the time. This shows how gay people are placed in society, obviously very embarrassed and people react to them differently, but the movie showed a lot of gay love and romance fitting to gay standards. One party of the story showed how they were hiding their new disguised gay relationship to their parents, and got everything screwed, but their parents accepted it quite nicely. This example support the existence of gay relationship and In the end it was a happy ending with good gay romances
