Love Is All You Need? (2011)

Yes it is fairly low budget and the acting is not "perfect" however if you are straight like me and ALLOW yourself to go there, to imagine this world exists and put yourself in the shoes of if you were gay and the outcast and the loneliness and the pain that could occur. If you allow this to happen within you, you may have an awakening like I did.I live in an area that is predominantly Christian and people often only act Christian when it is easy to do so. The real test is to see others out in their daily routine. Let me say this, there are few actual "saints" out there. I bawled like a baby watching this, especially towards the end.If this movie moves you, share it!We need to LOVE people. This world needs it desperately. Even a smile can change someones day.

The movie is really bad because its show just all of the negativity in people. Doesn't have balance by showing a support group for the girl and seeing that their is help out there. The characters a bland and not well developed at all. So their is no real connection with them. The relationship is between the girl and the boy go absolutely nowhere. And we don't see much of them together. Also again this movie is just hatred and how they depict people hating straight people. would not be true in 2011. If the setting was in the 1960s I would believe that but i don't. Don't see this movie, its not good at all. So keep this in mind.

What if being gay was the norm and heterophobia existed?In this thought provoking short film we see a world where being gay is the norm in society and being heterosexual will subject you to prejudice, bigotry and hate. I have heard reviews stating this film is very graphic. I don't feel that it is overly graphic. There is simulated and implied violence but nothing too overt. But I imagine that this film will make some people uncomfortable, which I think, is what the film makers are aiming for. I love it when someone turns something on it's ear and makes you think, and this film does just that, it turns societal norms around and hopefully will make you think :)

This is such a powerful and emotional movie that everyone should see because it just goes to show what everyone in the LGBT communities goes through everyday just because they go against what is considered to be social norms. There is a high rate of death among the LGBT community because they are bullied for just for being themselves. This was such a powerful movie that brought me to tears the first time I saw it because it hits home for me. I lost two of my friends because of bullying. Both of them committed suicide because apparently they thought that only in death would all the pain go away. This story is almost identically to what one of my friends went through only she wasn't gay, she was transgender. She was teased and tortured by fellow students all throughout high school but it wasn't until she was outed at work that things took a turn for the worst. I don't really think the ending was right for two reason; one, suicide is never the answer and two, the ending should have been extended a little bit more to show the repercussions that her death might have had on the community. Putting all that aside, I thing that everyone should see this movie because maybe then they might have a little more appreciation and understanding of the LGBT community and what they go through on a daily basis. I also think that with an alternate ending to the film, this movie would make a wonderful educational video that could be shown in all the classrooms, maybe then it might help to end bullying in our schools. Overall this was an excellent movie and I will definitely be recommending this movie to all my friends and family.
