Excellent but underrated film
best movie i've ever seen.
It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
That's a type of gay sexuality that fascinates many people and yet many others have never tried it. They don't know what they are missing. The point is that you cannot be a cub and a bear at the same time. You have to start as a cub and then you may eventually become a bear, but not sure since a cub is supposed to be moderately hairy and he is supposed to be young in shape and looks. No overweight, no flabby truck tires around the waist, etc. On the other side the bears are supposed to be very hairy, definitely older, though not old, and definitely fleshy and by fleshy I mean a lot of flesh, that may eventually be muscle but not pumped up inflated muscular balloons.So one cannot be a bear just because one wants. One can be a daddy any time after 35 but to be a bear is a little more than just age. To be a cub you have to be young for sure, though you can age as a cub for a while but the part is complex since you are a cub, hence you do not have the initiative, an yet bears, or daddies as for that, like being tickled, or teased by cubs. It is funny provided they remain calm and peaceful, respectful and playful, and in the end cuddle against the stomach of their bears.But the film is a lot more than just that. It shows very well what bear city is during a week end. Bare-chested men of all types, well, bears and cubs of course, a lot of playing around in some dark corners or rooms behind the scene, some if not a lot of alcohol. Music, disco or techno, who cares, just music to make you dance from one foot to the other and rest on your third leg, if you've brought it. But that is the fun of the week end. That's not real life.Real life is not much different from any other situation. You have couples that are closed though not secretive or exclusive if not reclusive. You can have two couples fooling around in the shower side by side, but a foursome is not the norm. In the same way a threesome is fancied by some but it is not the norm and it may end up sour if the third one is an accidental partner or simply someone picked from a bar for no reason whatsoever except to have some fun. If you are not careful then you may have some surprising reaction because this third one might be completely blocked on some kinky ideas, like pissing in the shower.The problem of obesity is real and the choice is simple: surgery if you can afford it, or a little help from your friends who can help you cut on the intake and reduce the fuel in the machine and the coal in the furnace. The choice is yours and your friends'.But then it is all a question of love and respect. Love is love and has no limit, so why not bears and cubs, though I prefer cubs to kids since kids are young goats more than anything else and hence are generally under age or just deliciously crunchy under your teeth. You're not supposed to eat your partner, even if he is a cub. I even think this kind of love, protective on one side and looking for protection on the other side, is quite attractive since the bear who could be a violent brute has to be protective and to take care of his cub with gentleness and finesse.Ah finesse in the world of sex!!! You, cubs and bears, will love that film, and you, all the others, men and women, will love discovering how full of love these men can be, even if they know stress and unemployment like anyone else. And mind you it is not pornographic except if you consider the kiss of a man to another man is pornography. Some do! Fine with them. They end up kissing trees along the road with their roaring cars. They try it once, twice at the most, because sooner or later that kind of kiss is fatal, lethal, deadly. I prefer the kiss of a bear or of a cub. I am not particular about details.Dr Jacques COULARDEAU
The two main characters are a "twink" and a "silver daddy". Neither is a bear. Almost all their FRIENDS are various types of bears, but they aren't. And the romance isn't that good, is basically about one character getting over his worry that his friends won't like his new boyfriend if they get together. And of course, in the end, they don't care at all.The supporting characters have the best lines and situations. I wish the MAIN STORY were as interesting.This is reminding me of "Bear Nation", which is essentially a collection of interviews of bear CHASERS.Is there some reason that "bear" movies can't have bears at their lead characters?
yes - lots of Eye candy... BUT horrible acting, cheesy dialogue, annoying/ bazaar soundtrack- and that Simon dude?-- within 1 minute of watching his overblown, high school acting class wannabe bullsh*t... i wanted to slap the sh*t out of him- all my friends said i needed to watch this movie- i hate my friends now :P (not really but come on guys!?!!?) this flick is dripping with Bear / Gay stereo types and over blown schmaltz - the last tear jerker scean? - jerked me from my 85 minute coma and i hit the eject- it is now on its way back to Netflix HQ- weighing 400+ pounds is not heart healthy- it will lead to a harsh and complicated death- get the surgery if you can't control yourself- sheesh- i would think that would be the over-riding issue - not that the surgery could go wrong- i know a lot of people that got it done and they are fine- they still struggle with their diet control - but at least their vital signs are stable...finally-
Was disappointed that once again the Big & Beautiful crowd have hijacked the whole Bear concept. Yes there are morbidly obese Bears out there but they do not make up the majority like this film projects. Anyone healthy is made fun of, anyone who wants to live a few years longer and lose weight is looked upon with disdain. There was some really goodlooking guys in the film, and the Muscle Bears were good to see. If you go anywhere in the world you will see guys with paunches, but not anywhere near the obese sloths like this movie portrays. Most of the guys you see in Europe and Asia are healthy, hairy and unashamed masculine. This movie is catty queens in flannel.
