SECOND SKIN

In my opinion, this movie (which I saw a couple of years ago) is far better than Brokeback Mountain and deserves an Oscar. :-)

    Edine: No, haven't watched it. do u have it? Can I borrow it? How come I don't get to go for courses? Oh, I know why, coz I am not a CHEST PHYSICIAN!!!

    Anonymous: Second skin is much like Brokeback except it's a Latino movie (so you gotta read the subtitles). The story is that of a guy who work in a hangar who fell in love with a surgeon. The first guy is married. The difference from Brokeback is that u can see that they really care for one another (not just sex). As with all gay themed movies, it ended tragically. The wife got to know the surgeon and the show ended with them actually sitting down and remembering all the wonderful memories that each of them shared with the dead guy while he was alive. It's a powerful movie. Much as I believe that gay relations are wrong in the eyes of God, I also appreciate that the characters in the movie truly cared for each other as they best kow how without God.
