For those members looking forward to "Burning Blue" as I am, here's another film from 2009, which the Brokeback community will enjoy. The film was overlooked when it was released and was a sleeper. The title does not help matters. Please ignore the title "Handsome Harry" and give it a chance - you will be pleasantly surprised! I swear!
The cast is loaded with names: Buscemi, Sheridan, Quinn, Savage and one of my favorites, Scott. Pay attention, there are quite a few very quick flash backs. The film could stand a bit of tightening but the exploring of the characters lives and how they each dealt or didnt' deal with what they did is a fascinating study in life.
Told as a series of flashbacks and from a Navy angle, the film takes one of a journey of a dying man to right a horrible wrong done to a fellow seaman. it also explores the life of someone not following their heart. No it's not a sappy flick but it will get your attention... there are several lines lifted directly from Brokeback and pay attention to the ending. I'd love to discuss the film in a separate thread for anyone interested.
