KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

daoldiges I first saw Happy Together during its original release and kind of liked it. I recall very clearly not quite understanding why I kind of liked it ,and couldn't justify it to my friend who I'd seen it with and who didn't like it. 10 years later a friend gave me bag of old DVD's he was getting rid of and this was one of those, so I watched it again one rainy afternoon. What a difference a second viewing made. I recently saw it again on the big screen and my affections and appreciation for this film continues to grow as the film continues to reveal itself and I understand it more. Unlike many, I do not see this film as a love story between to men but rather view the central relationship as just one of the films many elements the director uses to show the individual and solo aspect of life that each of us faces. Family relationships, romantic love, professional relationships, random people that come and go in our lives, and through differing cultures, are all used to illustrate this central theme. The acting is wonderful, the characters unique and interesting and the cinematography and score all combine to create a beautiful and powerful, and haunting experience. Happy Together is not an easily accessible film and for the viewers who saw this film and liked it or disliked it, I encourage a second viewing. Happy Together really is a wonderful and moving film well worth the time and challenge.

citronellaa I was 1uite impressed with the aesthetic of this film - set in South America with all kinds of funky greens and oranges, and then a glimpse of Taiwan and Hong Kong at the end.The film storyline is not massively unusual, but is curious nonetheless. It outlines his frustrations of his love for his boyfriend, underlining such issues as mistrust, uncertainty, longing, anger, affection. The main character is pretty handsome, with a ferocious temper for his boyfriend who knows how to set him off. They don't have much money between them, but there is a soulful approach with visual icons like the waterfall, the light house, and at times a certain tenderness. Towards the end they fall apart, but at least with the hopes of seeing each other again someday.

lois-mckinder this film is one of the most confusing films i have watched and this is due to it being a surreal film, the way it switches from black and white to colour or how the camera footage is hand held then stood still. to some this film up without being offensive is about 2 gay men who are clearly in love with each other but cannot survive together its a love story that was not meant to be. also the director shows a completely different side to hong kong cinema. happy together is surreal in many ways, its a film which is hard to keep up with and one of them films which you have to watch the whole thing to look back and understand as the film is constsntly skipping to things happening which you do not see, listening is very important in this film to understand.

filmalamosa Are you tired of coming out gay films? Films with a domineering mother (the cause of it all) unrequited love for class mates--endings with drugs and depression if not suicide?Then watch Everlasting Love. It is what I have always wanted gay movies to be-- something uplifting without all the negative baggage. Yes this film combines fantasy (really good looking male actors--well 2 of them are) with camp (what is more campy than Tango dancing in Buenos Aires?). But so what!!! I am tired of films that have you relive every dead end humiliation of gay life. I want to forget those memories I don't want to endlessly relive them!Next I want a homosexual James Bond.Did I forget to mention...this film is a work of visual art detailed in many of the other comments.
