i watched this film yesterday after finishing runs of simulation which i have been doing for days now. had maggi noodles as i was too lazy to cook.
and then i watched weekend. this is just my opinion. in general, gay people are divided into two groups:
1. out and proud
2. not out and not proud
here we have two gay men having a fun night out, expecting nothing more than sex. but they had more than sex. they talked. they get to know each other. and it seemed they like each other more than just mere fuck buddies. that reveals the kind of gay guys they are - the out and proud, and the shy not-so-out-and-not-so-proud. the conversations they had could have taken place in any bedroom of any couple who had just gotten to know each other - be them gay or straight - their curiosity fencing off with different personal opinions, trying to convince each other "this is me" but hiding personal anxieties at the same time.
i think this movie works in portraying how "normal" gay people are. not that they are not normal in the first place. but we live in a strange world that is short of approval of anything less than different.
