The Feelings Are the Same
Directed by Christian Hartkopp1972 42mShort, Documentary
Interview-based documentary about gay and lesbian relationships in Danish society. Excerpt from press release: Homosexuality is a way of life among several others. For some it is a choice, while others just as little choose whether they want to be gay or heterosexual as they choose skin color, height or to become a beauty queen. The film does not preach 'understanding' or 'tolerance'. It shows that life is difficult and wonderful, full of positive and negative traits., but also that we sometimes make it unnecessarily difficult for each other, locking us inside adopted patterns, perhaps because we are afraid, ignorant or stupid,. We thereby cheat each other for warmth and contact, and it makes us more miserable.
