Torch Song Trilogy part 2

[bagelboi66]

One of the very best films that made no money. Tragic. It deserved better.

[wendyverdades]

I miss my blove too. This scene helps because it's true.

[Katzone]

Never told my parents..so all drama avoided...and im happy as it is...!

[FrederickNetwork]

One of my favourites parts too. 1988... I was 19 yo...A kude young gay man I was, may be still I am....!

[lilmike55912]

I lived this movie before this was a movie  wished I could sing!

[grove26]

will be too much to ask,  to upload the whole movie? :P

[reddheddjedd77]

Anne Bancroft MADE this movie, the typical OVERBEARING mother !

[brandondallas]

THIS IS NOT PART 2. DAMNIT.

[johnrainville09]

I lost my boyfriend 3 yrs old and I miss him. :(

[johnrainville09]

I did not tell my parents until I was 18yrs. old. Now they don't care if I am gay. I am glad it is different now. I wish it was like that when I was younger.

[cleanky]

his voice sounded funny

[lrthorne]

I can't even count the number of times I've seen this movie, but I STILL can't watch it without getting choked up. Absolutely fantastic writing and acting!

[leopold2369]

yup.....destroys me every time I watch it......

[gayisrael]

me 2 i remmeber i have seen the gay seacne manny timers when i was 14 yeras old

[leopoldhoob]

@lrthorne yep.I know what you mean....this movie should be compulsory viewing.....love is love...

[badalnow]

A bit dated but some points are still relevant today. All this fuss because your son likes dick. Big deal.

I can only cry that Anne Bancroft nearly ruined this film with overacting and scenery chewing. When I think that Estelle Getty, from Golden Girls, who played this opposite Harvey for 5 years onstage, was cast aside for a bigger name, it makes me cry from the wasted opportunity. Sad. Like this movie anyway though.

[leopold2369]

Wow.I never knew that Estelle played his mom onstage.............but I disagree with your comments about AB......

[kirchenhasser]

"Das Kukucks" ist der deutsche Titel. Wer diesen Film als DVD in Deutsch haben möchte, kann sich bei mir gern melden...

[casmarino]

I have to say, as the actor blessed with the role of Arnold Beckoff in the current limited run NYC revival of "Torch Song Trilogy", that it is truly an honor to play these scenes every night. The love we feel from the audience and each other is overwhelming.

And THANK YOU to those who are local who've asked about the production. Info is here:

[bjarneboy]

anne Bancroft is a fantastic actor... they both are:)

[britishclub]

Please tell me! Are all Jewish mothers of gay men like this?

My mother is EXACTLY like this mother!!!!!!!! Only not so glamorous!

You just can´t win!!!!!!!!!

Why the hell can´t they be normal??????

EEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkk­kkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!

[KoldingDenmark]

My mother was tough for 4 years, before she finally turned around on this subject. If you can stand the fight, you might be rewarded in the end. I did.:-)

[dressbenblue]

That bitch mothers intolerance will catch up to her in to end, and she'll burn in hell for it

[simonaukema]

Dear Dressbenblue,

The point of this film/story is exactly what you write. They both start the confrontation with their own pain in mind and thus blaming each other, but somewhere along the line they get it... And realise they`ve been both unfair and stupid towards each other.

That`s what we all should wish for, 30 sec of that wonderful feeling of finally getting it!

[dressbenblue]

well spoke, could have said it better myself =) thanks!

[dressbenblue]

I mean i "could not" have said it better...hehehe

[dressbenblue]

oh....what a good point...hehehe. You seem to understand. It is hard to not return the hate, and it is difficult a lot of times to try to educate...you seem to have a very good head on your shoulders. =)

[dressbenblue]

you people can mark down my comment all you wish, but she will. Intolerance, ignorance, and hatred need to be a thing of the past already, and we gay people are tired of being treated as some disease, just because of the way GOD MADE US. and thats all there is to it. you straight people would rather hate, and be intolerant, rather than ask questions, and be educated. and thats the truth

[kuffpah1]

Dressbenblue: In theory, I understand your anger. In fact, the reason intolerance and ignorance and hatred persist is because gay people like us often find it easier to cut the uneducated out of our lives instead of doing the harder work of educating them. Is it fair that we have to? Maybe not. Should they just accept us for who we are unconditionally? Perhaps. But life isn't aways fair, and we have two choices, do the hard work and strive for love, or give up and return the hate.

[simonaukema]

Let`s be silly: I agree with you, because I don`t believe you believe these words...

[dressbenblue]

What? think it's okay for a person to judge another for the way they were born?

[simonaukema]

You really want me to answer this? Please think! Hatred, protectionism etc didn`t make America the best country in the world. Tolerance did!

[leopoldhoob]

Tolerance !!!!.only on the seaboards...the us is the most insular, racist country in the world since nazi germany

[GoldenBoyAdal]

God I love this movie!

It so so special for me and this scene just makes me cry.

A must have!

[puppies21616]

[MJkayochan]

This is one of my favorites.

Last part of this movie makes me into tears.

By the way,I love the song played in the end. It must be famous song.But I am not into jazz. Does anybody know the name of the song?

Thank you for uploading.Great movie. The best of the best.

[xheartilly]

It's called "This Time the Dream's on Me", by Ella Fitzgerald. It's the perfect song to end this perfect movie I think. Touches all the right notes~

[MJkayochan]

Thank you for telling me. Ella Fitzgerald. This is the first time I hear her name.

I'll search the song right away.

Yes, perfect song to end perfect movie.

Everytime I watch this movie,I watch last scene over and over again.

[DollysFolly]

[davidandgracie]

Astounding !!! Thanks for reminding me that I am 42... seems ages since I first saw this. Really must get it on dvd. The film also features the late and great Charles Pierce .. worth a look at the talent of the man on youtube
