Guest Conflicted Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 The taiwanese film on a gay couple Dear Tenant(2020) was released today in GV. Its about a guy taking care of his boyfriend's son and mother after the boyfriend's death and then got accused of murdering the mother. Has anyone watched the film and felt sad that the main actor was not able to keep his promise to his deceased boyfriend to take care of his son?(i.e. Boyfriend's son with ex wife). I also tend to feel the same homophobic current flowing through the film in SG. Its not that strong but its there. Anyone felt sad/cry after watching the film too?

But the film itself makes me feel so sad in that we can relate to it. We can never adopt children(nor get married) here in SG and if we do encounter a bisexual boyfriend/husband with children(like in the film) we most likely will kenna the same as in the movie if the boyfriend dies. Our society has not accepted us fully and the prejudice is still there. I see many girls able to hold hands in public without being questioned but you don't see guys holding hands in orchard road for example. Its like the main actor told police in the film that if he was a girl and her husband die, the police will never ask the questions that they did to him... The only part that made me happy was when grandma knows she was dying soon and asked the main actor to adopt her deceased's son child(i.e. the boy) below and they took this happy picture(Grandma even did make-up and all ,dressed nicely). This picture was so poignant. P.S. You would think this was a publicity shot to promote the movie but no this scene was straight from a critical part in the film.
