PATRICK FLORIO I hate definitions and those that are not defined have a hard time. Being yourself is probably the hardest thing to do. I like avoiding the obvious and I think James Bird avoids it elegantly keeping the story line true. It is not easy to talk about dying without religion. I enjoyed the lightness of the narration, the taking hold of their life and making it memorable. I do believe it fundamental to making it memorable in the little things in order to make it worth its real value for any person. I think we should talk more about people without the temptation to judge them especially those that are true to themselves. I have seen in the movie a collective effort and it does manage to avoid stereotypes. No fancy production but a perfect use of the essentials for movie making. Keep it up guys!!!
zif ofoz Honeyglue is worth watching due to it's being an unusual story told in a surreal romantic style. I found Jordan, Morgan and her family to be so idealized they are totally unbelievable as real characters. But, as a whole they work together wonderfully to create a touching and somewhat melodramatic story.The surreal parts are Jordan himself and his rooftop colorful tent home, the doctor tied up and how it is presented to the viewer, Morgan's (who is stricken with cancer) high energy and just the adventure Jordan and Morgan pursue to experience life before she clocks out.I found this movie mostly interesting but I would never watch it again because it's a one time story and once you see it it's done. The over melodramatic ending is a bit of a turnoff because it's so over acted and borders on humorous.
MichaelShepherd Amazing Film. I had the honor of being Key Makeup Artist w/ Laura Calvo and I can honestly say it was such a pleasure to work on such an amazing project surrounded by amazing film makers. I cannot wait for the next one. James, Anya, and Adriana are amazing and intelligence film makers who are going to be around for a very long time. The Acting from Zach & Adriana was stunning, even after being on set and seeing the scenes film and pre reading the script, watching the film all put together gets me ever time. Honeyglue is filled with laughter, tears, and real world problems that are put in a very real prospective for the audience to connect to.
sinnerofcinema James Bird's "Honeyglue" is an effective experimental narrative film that interwoven animation with live storytelling. Androgyny reigns as gender roles are flipped and reversed to make a statement on style and personal expression. An unlikely romance blooms when Jordan (Zach Villa), a purse snatching cross dresser artist, meets Morgan (Adriana Mather) a conservative middle class girl, under unusual circumstances.Base on the vast differences of both characters, initial perception predicts that this ill conceived relationship is doomed from the get go. Yet, during the many trials and tribulation both Morgan and Jordan suffer in their own worlds, they manage to keep the "glue" alive and well whenever they met until life throws a curve-ball that will ultimately, and in an untimely manner, turn this love story into a contemporary Romeo & Juliet with many twists in between.In what can be best described as an Annie Lennox kind of wedding, in a very unorthodox way, the couple exchange nuptials with alternative descriptions of their relationship as the ceremony and events succeeding the ceremony trumps traditional vows.This is a very ambitious film that seeks to mix many unrelated themes and stories, and to the fortune of the film, director James Birds succeed at making it all work. The Main actors deliver solid performances in between a series of superlatively artful animation sequences with screen live action visuals to be credited courtesy of cinematographer Stefan Colson.
