Boys

It's so simple but so beautiful.

Really beautiful, I loved it!

Why is it only the Europeans can make films like this? Loved this film.

It's so raw. It captivates with a air of innocence, you can really understand their perspectives. Really proves less is more, I shed some tears :,)

You can feel the emotions in this film.

Theme: "Jongens" is a coming of age drama. It's about accepting one's own homosexuality, and the struggle that comes along. The love story is pure and natural, set to the background of an all male sports team for teenagers.

Photography: "Jongens" (Boys) has the most incredibly and beautiful imagery you can wish for, both in landscapes as well as sports and love. This movie is almost entirely shot outside at Utrechtse Heuvelrug (Utrecht wolds), a very green part of the Netherlands, and nearby lakes. The surroundings breathe innocence and flourishing life. It challenges physical exercising. Camera man Melle van Essen has done a great job. Young actors Gijs Blom and Ko Zandvliet are brilliant.

This movie is excellent educational material for high school students because homophobia is still an issue world wide.

I'm not going to tell you the story, and you better don't read it elsewhere, just watch and enjoy it.

🤔 I enjoyed the movie, except the ending. [spoiler] It felt pretty lackluster and too simple of a way to resolve the argument they had been in. [/spoiler]
