A Naked Boy (2015)

This was a wonder. Although a bit crazy and absurd at a time, the meaning behind the whole thing is so deep and wonderful. I even watched this three times because this was so good. All the actors were good, and the production of the film is good too, even though I was a little unsure if it first because it was a short film. There wasn't much dialogue, but the storyline and the acting was done so well that words aren't even needed.

This is the second Strongberry movie I have watched, and so far I am beyond impressed. I hope they keep creating wonderful projects like this. :)

I understand why this was made, but I don't think I like it.

This story about a man reminiscing on a past love is an important story that we need to hear. We need a wider variety of LGBT people in our media and that include older people. However, I don't think showing this story through the metaphor of a grown man seeing a naked teenager is the way to do it?

It's definitely a conversation starter and I would love to talk about it to anyone who has watched it. I think this is an acquired taste in short films. I completely understand this film, I stand by it's message but I am not completely sold on the metaphor that they used to show this message. We should not be putting burdens or memories of parents on a child's shoulder.
