seronjaa-797-313124 Since the theme of the movie is still very unusual and taboo in most parts of the world, I didn't know what to expect. But it was very well done. Showing them as kids was a good move and allowed us to have a better insight into their love. But it would've been better if they also showed at least some scenes from their teenage years and not just skip 15 years. Everything seemed so sudden. The undressing scene was really surprising and seemed unreal. I saw this trend in some other gay movies, too and I can't relate to it. For me love and passion are hugs and kisses and not just staring at each others naked bodies in the middle of the room. Of course, as many others already said before, the whole movie is a fantasy and avoids all real world problems. But the chemistry between the main actors is wonderful and it's in this movie, where I saw the best gay kiss ever (before one brother goes to Russia). I would watch it all over again just for that one scene.

Atish N Ramdonee Oye, oye, oye!If you are a homophobic prude, you can as well stop reading this as from now itself.I just watched 'Do Começo ao Fim' (From Beginning to End), an absolutely beauteous movie about the controversial, and incestuous love in between Francisco and Thomas.I have been thru some gay movies, which sadly and usually end tragically, and have me depressed for awhile as well.Movies climaxing into suicides or AIDS, and other inauspiciousness.Whichever, I now think that the idea of a tragic end is to establish the harm our society is culprit of, and against homosexuality.Anyhow, not to digress any further, the movie was stunning; the acting was impeccable, the protagonists were drop-dead gorgeous! And 'worse', this movie has had me awed by the love rather than disgusted by the theme.The fierce, fiery portrayal of love in between two men, made me forget that theirs was incestuous; which is why it is also disturbing, because I validated their love due to having been swayed away from the incest part.It forced me to think if we really understand love, if love should be restrained by anything; does that make this movie one which has been successful into making something we deem as hideous and heinous, as beautiful and pure?I do not see myself loving my brother this 'way', and as I think of it now, it is nauseating.Nevertheless, the story would not have been as vivacious if the incest was absent; the movie depicts the birth of love as Thomas opens his eyes (You'll know why if you watch the movie, and don't read it on Wiki please!), how this love has always been there, instead of being something that is 'nurtured'; is the idea then, to make us 'believe' that this kind of love is 'innate'.I don't know, I really don't, but what I felt like throughout, was the submission of Thomas to Francisco's love; the ache of Francisco's when Thomas was absent for awhile; the ravenous passion they had for each other; the longing they had for each other; the care, the togetherness, the love that there was in between them.It's an amazing and powerful movie you should watch – for a big change.Last but not the least; the music is heavenly, divine and otherworldly!PS This is not really a movie review but only my point of view.

benditlikebecks this is the best movie I ever saw, i watch over and over again and I din't something something I didn't last time. I even feel envy and wondering if this could had happen in real life, if it did!!! great , it makes you wanting more from the movie and hopping you could somebody to love and complement to each other. I really recommend this movie. Since the beginning of the movie you could experiment everything is different, we are so used to home box movie,big budget movies and those with big names, those who make a lot of noise and is only about anything but nothing deep, Independent movies specially the ones from Film festivals like this one, are the ones who really capture what being a human is and explores many aspects of life in which not everyone is comfortable to talk about.

nickapopolis87 I got this movie out on DVD without knowing too much about it and I was absolutely blown away. It is such a touching and romantic movie. I know it has taboo topics but they are handled so gently and with such acceptance by the film makers and the the characters within the story. It truly moved me in a way a film has never done for me before. It is probably not for everyone due to some of it's taboo content, but honestly, it should be viewed regardless. It is such an exquisite portrayal and will really make you think. I cannot praise this movie more highly. Forget the mind-numbing exploitative offerings of The Hangover or Bridesmaids, and see what great film can accomplish.
