... View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
... View MoreTrent Ford's pivotal performance as the conflicted military man coming to grips with his sexuality is gut wrenching. Tammy Blanchard as his best bud's wife is equally memorable. Solid film all the way around.
... View MoreIn this age of on-screen unrestrained sexuality, it's easy to dismiss one gay-themed movie as 'bad' since there isn't much baring man-on- man action, but Burning Blue is much more than that. It's a movie that requires the audience to think, to imagine what it was like back in the days of disastrous 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy.For me it plays out like a triangle love story, one between BFFs Will and Daniel, and one between Daniel and Matt. Will's character is ambiguous of whether he's straight or gay, some people might even call him a homophobic prick. My take is that he's a repressed homosexual who's actually forever in love with Daniel but just couldn't figure out what's what, and his world came crashing when Matt entered the frame and took Daniel's heart away.Many complaints that there are too many 'longing stares' between Matt and Daniel, the sexual things were only represented by one kissing scene while it's not clear whether they actually have done the 'dirty deed' back in NYC that night. For me Trent Ford and Rob Mayes have enough on-screen chemistry for us audience to feel that they're really in love, however repressive it must be at that day and age.This is one gem of a movie. We as the audience should do more justice to it, and not just take it for granted just because this isn't actually your run-of-the-mill, sex-romp, butt-baring, gay movie.
... View MoreBeing someone who had literally watch hundreds of gay related titles. This one had been one of the few that left an impression on me. Most gay movies tend to be very shallow or terribly made with poor acting. Or extremely great acting and high quality production but depressing. This movie is extremely well made. The actors and actress played their role perfectly and convincingly. It is a moving movie with a wonderful message. The focus isn't really on the two men but on an issues of gays in military. I was afraid to watch this at first because I knew it was going to be sad but surprisingly I am extremely satisfied with the ending. I definitely recommend this movie to everyone.
... View MoreWhat a bad movie. Makes no sense for a movie written in 2013 or ever. Has no relevance and just makes zero sense. Save your money, I wish I did. What did they do that was against the law? It was so hard to follow. Couldn't tell if a day went by, a month, a year or many years. This was just the worst written, worst movie I ever saw. About a topic that could have been so relevant this one made no sense. I'm even struggling her to write enough bad things to be able to post this review. I was so interested in the topic but it was done so poorly. Can't say it was predictable since it just made I sense. Shame on the writers and I can only imagine the actors had nothing else better to do. Even if this movie represented the 1950's it just makes no sense.
