I guess my fav LGBT movie is the first one I ever watched that wasnt main stream and that was Shelter. Beautiful movie that didnt have a sad ending like most LGBT films. I’ve seen it over and over and never get tired of it!!!

@nombulelo, oh! I didn’t notice this comment, sorry about that! I liked Shelter as well, though I do prefer sad endings (generally in all films), I get what you mean about tragic ending in LGBT films.

I loved Were the World Mine ^^ – I think I might try to review that for the blogathon. Hopefully I could find the time…

One film I would recommend is 왕의 남자 / “The King and the Clown” (2005). This Korean movie is about two male entertainers during the 16th century of King Yeonsan’s rule. What starts off as a simple task to perform in front of the king ends up being a love triangle between the king and the two jesters.

This movie hit a lot of controversy in its native South Korea at first because of its homophobic nature. Korea isn’t as open to such themes as the rest of the world is. However, like its US counterpart, Brokeback Mountain, it got a lot of critical acclaim too. The movie pulled off this theme quite respectfully, while also having a great “bromance” story.

@Julyssa, You should write about Homosexual themes in Korean entertainment and why it’s so popular even though the country is one of the most homophobic ones today

@Camiele White, So I’ve heard but I didn’t have the heart to watch it. Loved the UK version too much

Just out of curiosity, does anyone at YAM have any original ideas for blogathons, or do you intend to just keep piggybacking off other blogs’ ideas? First the 1939 blogathon sponsored by the CMBA, now an LGBT blogathon mere weeks before blogger Garbo Laughs hosts her long-planned Queer Blogathon. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next!

[Reply]

yam magazine Reply:
June 1st, 2011 at 4:26 pm

@Edmund, thanks for stopping by.

We were originally intended to participate in Garbo Laughs’ blogathon one week prior to her LGBT date (you can ask her), but due to our problems with the CMBA we both decided, as an agreement, that we shouldn’t. It was a common understanding that we weren’t going to interfere with her event any longer, but that we were free to go on with our intended posts.

We hope that the CMBA members that felt offended by our participation realize that there’s no hostile feelings between us, and that we hope there’s free internet for everyone.

Great work with the blogathon! Unfortunately I must have totally misunderstood the dates for it when saying I migth participate on your facebook page.

OT:
However I will do a small piece on Show me love on my top ten introductionary piece on Swedish film that I still owe you guys. I’ll try to get hold of the movies I feel might have some significance that I haven’t yet seen.

Again, great work and the banners look pretty dam awesome!

@yam magazine, I dont mind it either but I have seen to few films on the topic to be honest. I was thinking of doing a piece on why there are so few rom-coms with gay couples but for that kind of post I am way to nitpicky to write it quick enough. Sorry guys but you see to do alright with out me this time!

Julili: Det vore kanske intressant, jag skriver iof mest på engelska och då blir det oftats internationell prägling på innehållet.

Ooh! I have a thing for lgtb films, I don’t know why hehe.
I’ll be looking out for any cool films I could watch ^_^

I really liked Shelter, and a swedish film “Four years later” …… I love it when it’s a sweet happy ending >.<

We’re fine with it, but they might not. Just covering our basis~ You might wanna check with them.
