What is this film really about?

[edit]

The major themes of the film could be spun as either an exploration of gay self loathing or as promoting bigoted, homophobic tropes from the conservative agenda:

  1. The poor, hot man isn't responsible for using the phrase, "no, thank you," or for raping his girlfriend in anger. He's a victim of the gays.
  2. The middle aged gay man is inevitably destined to be miserable and lonely, as well as unethical in his pursuit of love.
  3. If you don't live a straight life, you cannot have children.

I don't know how to reasonably introduce this discussion into the Wikipedia article, but I'm unhappy that the gay community is giving Yariv Mozer a pass for this destructive train wreck. Sure, Reuveni is dazzling, and two seconds of the sex (with his girlfriend) is actually hot, but for the most part, I only see this film as pandering to the hateful, not a contribution to the well-being of the LGBT+ community. He doesn't, after all, indicate anywhere that he is providing an illustration of untrue stereotypes. Ydhirsch (talk) 06:35, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
