I haven't seen a movie that touched my soul like this in really long while. The story is hurtful and the sad part is that it's true. You may lose your life just because of your sexuality and you must live a life that you don't want.
What Daniel's went through broke my heart to million pieces.
I wished if they just had more scenes together or that they showed some flashbacks after Matthew died.
The actors played their roles perfectly and there was a good chemistry between them. I honestly don't know what to talk about cuz everything in the two characters was perfect.
The only bad thing is that they didn't have many scenes together.

Being 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.

Writing reviews of films, books or music is not something I generally do; certainly, I read and am influenced by them, but I don't write them. This film has, however, inspired me to share my appreciation of the film.A little background: I'm gay, but I hate gay films. In general, they're a load of crap: crass, from little to no plot, following a standard template construction that features far too much sexualisation of the cast. In short, I hate gay films for being everything this film isn't.That being said, this film is not a gay film. There are (spoiler) gay characters, but their sexuality is, for the most part, entirely incidental to the plot and I feel it is handled quite considerately, honestly and subtly; something that, depressingly, is still rare in the film industry. But the film does cover some very important and controversial issues surrounding military service and, whilst it specifically depicts the US Navy, issues such as homophobia and death are universal.I shall not go any further into the plot, but will suffice to say that if you like drama and are not prone to violent outbursts of homophobia, then this is an excellent film for you. My only real complaint about the film is that it wasn't released here in the UK. Instead I had to buy the American DVD and get it shipped; IMO, money very well spent.Point of note, the DVD is rated R and states that it contains strong language, sexual content and graphic nudity. In all honesty, daytime TV is more sexually explicit and the brief nudity doesn't deserve the prefix "graphic" as nothing below the waist is ever put on show, but I would still think twice before showing it to anyone under 16.Thoughtful and intense, this film easily gets a place in my top 10.
