My Top Five Favorite Ben Daniels Characters (LGBTQ+ Works): 3. Beautiful Thing (1996).

[kleinblue52]

I realized I have no more Heartstopper to consume in any format, so I thought of going old school for tonight's shot of homosexual serotonin and revisited one of my all time favorites, the OG Heartstopper.

Beautiful Thing. Utter perfection in movie form. These last few years I often went back to the filmed version of the stage play, because I love the actors, and hadn't rewatched the movie in a while. I'm so glad I decided to do just that tonight.

This is the movie that defined my gay adolescence. This is the movie that made me realize that I was not wrong and that there was a light at the end of the homophobic tunnel known as the early 1990s. And maybe it's because I was a kid back then, but everything still feels incredibly fresh and relevant, even though it's been so many years.

I can't even put into proper words the raw emotions that this movie makes me feel. It's not only the gay romance. It's the complexity of everything that is put out there by playwright/screenwriter Jonathan Harvey: mother/son relationship, the observations on class and privilege, the tough talk about abuse and neglect, the heartbreaking glimpses into social paralysis and so much more, with everything still presented in a way that is beautifully hopeful, truthful and empathetic.

I love this movie so so much.

Thank you director Hettie Macdonald. Thank you Jonathan Harvey. And a huge thank you to that wonderful cast, starting with the fierce matriarch that was Linda Henry and the two lovely boys that made me fall in love with loving boys: Glen Berry and Scott Neal.
