9/10
don't miss this great movie
29 June 2014
Great acting, probably it's Alan Cunning's best performance ever. Simple and straightforward with no other exaggeration words or actions makes the acting/love more pure between the gay parents in a gay family. Don't think this move cliché. It's not another gay adaption issue with the setting in '70s. On the contrary, it gives us, at least me, a more clear picture/argument that why gay parents can't adopt a child-- if gay parents are really the source of bad influence to children, why we still have so much violence, crime and hatred in a world whose members are definitely mostly straight people. And those criminals behind the bar are raised by straight people too. It's just nothing but the power exchange/dominance, which is especially clear in the court defense. Back to the movie. I do think that the kid, Marco, should play a bigger role, which may increase the judges' injustice and bias. I appreciate Paul's fighting in the court and caring in daily life, but need more explicit affection towards Marco. and the way it describe the kid's life may ease the tension ( say, it should raise the tension between pro-gay adoption and con-gay adoption). But it still depends on how wise the audience are if their attitude towards gay adoption would change because of this movie. The last point is the soundtrack. It's amazing. even better than the original. Must have if you have chance.
