  BEAUTIFUL THING(1996) UK


An urban fairytale.

Based on a play, this wonderful, simply beautiful film talked about coming out and the love of two teenage boys.  Jamie (Glen Berry) was a victim of bullies in school.  Ste (Scott Neal), one of the initial bullies, was also a victim of bullies, his father and older brother.  Being neighbors, both grew closer, and discovered each other's sexuality.  With much fear of what the society's reaction, Ste kept his distance, but love taught him to find his way home.  Beautiful characters, slow-dancing scene,  plots and witty lines.  A great movie!
