Film Commentary

Just another film blog run by a few people dedicated to providing you with some interesting commentary from multiple movies that we are interested in.

A tagging system will be set up for convenience as soon as possible, so bear with us a bit.

This scene, which was not in the book, is a scene right out of my own life. When Christopher Isherwood wrote this book in 1964, set in 1962, it was a landmark book, because it depicted a same-sex relationship in an absolutely matter-of-fact way. And I wanted to show George’s life with Jim in a very simple, straightforward way. Occasionally to this day, I still have friends who’ll say something to me about my lifestyle. And I think, what does that mean? I’ve lived with the same person for the last twenty three years. We read books, we walk our dogs, we argue sometimes, we go on vacation, we cook dinner, and we have a life very much like it’s depicted here with George and Jim.
