Identity Crisis (Documentary)

“Identity Crisis” dives into one of the most polarizing debates of our time: the rise of gender ideology and its impact on children. It takes a critical look at the modern conversation around gender identity, particularly how it's playing out in the lives of young people and their families. Now do I agree with this documentary or representation? 1% yes, largely no and we will see how it plays out.

The core of this documentary feels like something based through an Anti Transgender agenda. I would be the first person to say that I don't understand Trans completely but I believe in people having the right choose what they want for themselves. This documentary largely shows us a perspective from the other side. It shows us individuals, parents and families, who did let the individuals go through transition by taking medicine and many cases going through surgery as well. They feel like gender ideology was on such a rise that doctors would force and tell parents if you do not accept your kid's sexuality they could commit suicide, forcing parents to take such actions, even before kids know what they want. But when they grown up and realize it was a mistake and likely want to de-transition, the process is not as smooth for them. The documentary contends American medical and legal institutions are profiting from irreversible gender transitions performed on minors. Through raw testimonies from detransitioners and parents who claim to have lost their rights to protect their children, the film raises disturbing questions about profit motives, state overreach, and questions around informed consent and children.

To be honest this is not what I was expecting when I started watching this documentary. I understand when people say that if you can hear affirming trans voices then you should see the other side too who regret. Doing that. Fair enough, but why make a propaganda about it. I had an extremely hard time watching this and really had to eventually stop. The simple fact is, like everything else in life everything will have two sides and different opinions and eventually what it will boil down to is what you believe in, what your ideology is and what you think is right. For me, this documentary was a hateful biased misinformation. I tried to watch the film objectively but I just couldn't do it. I just do not see anything about this documentary that even made me rethink, even after seeing certain testimonials. Part of me is not comfortable that I am even putting a review of such a documentary on my website, but I need to be fair, I guess. This goes to extreme far right, pushing an anti-trans agenda and I am definitely not riding this propaganda BS. (1/10)

Every person has their own unique way of dealing with loss. This film is as much a psychological thriller as it is a soft porn BDSM portrayal of two young men that makes the film overall horrifying as well as humane.

The Shortest Distance is Round 3: Fallen Flowers

Continuing with the weird trilogy of "The Shortest Distance", I am so glad that finally I am done with part 3 and won't have to deal with this again in future. Thankfully, as of now the makers have not announced any further parts; which will save all of us on this earth from the embarrassment of watching this in near future. After the first 10 minutes are used in sort of recapping bits of first two parts, the story moves forward. Haruto is now starting to have feelings for Ruka, the mysterious pole dancer from second part. In a fit of rage, Ruka ends up killing the goat man and to save him and Haruto, Shibahara asks them to go underground. Meanwhile Shibahara continues the search for Seiya (the guy who had cut off Haruto's penis). It turns out Seiya is now also taking care of the original club owner from part 1. Both of them were released after they had informed Shibahara of Aoyama's secret location. Shibahara tortures Seiya's boyfriend leading to Seiya killin...

One Summer Night (Korean)

I really wanted to like this film but for non native speakers, these movie leaves a lot to be understood and the way scenes were unfolding in front of me, I wasn't sure many times what was really going on. The story had potential button getting any back story on any of the characters limited my ability to empathize with any of these actors. Film starts with two North Korea military guys Yong Joon and Jae Sung having sex and they are caught red handed and they run. Three years later we see Yong Joon in Seoul leading a very mundane and poor life. He has a boyfriend Tae-Kyu, who is a weird guy. He is carefree, doesn't do any work and is completely emotional and financially dependent on Young Joon. In fact, even Yong Joon will go to any lengths to protect him , fend for him and taking care of him to the extent of even taking up prostitution. Suddenly one day Jae Sung appears in their life again. His motivation is not clear but it is obvious he wants Yong Joon back in his life, who ...
