GachiMuchi Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) 'BACKSTORY' Is A Short Film On Mortality That Became An Immediate Masterpiece Lured in by the visuals, I wasn't prepared to go on the journey of what "Backstory" had to offer. It connected with me immediately and it was too late. I was on a thrill-ride through a life that seemed eerily familiar. I can't say more, but promise me you'll watch this. It's a piece you won't forget and it will be the best 8 minutes of your day. It has already won 33 awards, to give you the scope of their accomplishments. About: 'BACKSTORY' was shot in Germany in 17 shooting days over a period of 1,5 years. It has been screened at more than 110 festivals worldwide and, so far, has won more than 30 international awards. Our love goes out to all the wonderful people who worked so hard on this film for such a long time! :-)Team: written and directed by Joschka Laukeninks for more info visit backstory-film.com or follow us on facebook facebook.com/backstoryshortfilm produced by themarmalade.com written and directed by JOSCHKA LAUKENINKS produced by BENJAMIN HORSTKOTTE produced by TOBIAS WICHURA cinematography by EIKE RIECHE edited by VERA BERG starring JAN STAPELFELDT, JESSICA MCINTYRE, XENIA ASSENZA narrated by PHILIPP MOOG music GERMAN WAHNSINN production company THE MARMALADE FILMS https://www.shortoftheweek.com/2017/12/04/backstory/ Edited July 13, 2018 by GachiMuchi Phil and riverrobles 2 Quote http://gachimuchi2008.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guestsober Posted July 13, 2018 Report Share Posted July 13, 2018 That makes stories goers to be current and observative, for your pursuasive intiative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the experiences the protagonist went through in the film discriminates on being gay or straight. Birth, marriage, death, sickness etc. don't really pick and choose. Quote Love.

On the other hand, gay people didn't even have a family to grow up with and it is not even a choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many moments depicted in the film can happen to anyone regardless of sexual orientation. Quote Love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The film further reinforces this that getting married is part and parcel of life. Unfortunately, gay people can't get married and have children like what the film is portraying. So society sees being gay as abnormal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So society sees being gay as abnormal. Yes, unfortunately gay people cannot get married in many parts of the world still, but that hasn't stopped gay people from forming families. Even before marriage equality happened in the countries that passed those laws, gay/lesbian couples have been surrogating/adopting kids to form their own families. They have been celebrating their weddings privately with friends and family without the law's recognition. What is important are 2 people in love, coming together, and eventually forming a family. When i was growing up in Sg, one of my mom's friend was a lesbian, and her butch partner and her had 2 kids whom I used to play with. It wasn't questioned or asked why does Sally has 2 moms? It was just the way it is. My mom never saw her friends as abnormal, to her it is just the way it is. Quote Love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
