@ Lia: Shocked someone??? Sorry about this then: I’m pretty sure Colin Firth has played gay before, so this move comes as a shock to practically no one.

As a Colin firth fan you enjoy what ever his does and he will play the part well, he got his award for best actor and thats what he is,

I am looking for to see the film and an knows Firth will gave his best to the part and its not about just being gay its about how people treat him, after the loss of his partner and his pain
and how he goes though his day

I think Colin Firth is an amazing actor and he has great range. This film looked interesting immediately and I am looking forward to see it. And as far as his looks, ouch! I fell hard when he was Valmont! Yum.

@Lia – I have to agree with princess pea, he took the role because it was a good role. Unlike those hollywood types who focus on stardom and celebrity over, Firth is a trained actor who seems to relish good roles. Many of the classically trained male British actors have absolutely no qualms playing a gay man, complete with sex scenes, in “art house” films.

I agree 100% with Princess Pea..all good love stories have depth, passion, joy, peace and heartbreak. Colin Firth is a talented and versatile actor, I began my love affair from afar when he was Mr. Darcy..

@ Lia – why do you think this movie is done for shock value? Do you not think that a gay man can have an interesting story about love, grief, isolation and moving on?

I have enough respect for Colin Firth to presume that he chose this role for the interest, the depth of character, and the power of the story. It’s really bugging me that you are proving Kaiser right by being one of those fools who will write this off just because it tells a gay man’s tale.

I for one can’t figure out what the hell the movie’s about from that trailer.

This just reminds me of the 30 Rock episode where Liz is trying to adopt a baby and she says she got rid of all her Colin Firth dvds in case they could be considered erotica.

“That man can wear a sweater.”

At the end I just hope that the Business approach will not kill the actors chances.

We all know that George Clooney is standing by with his big Mini-Van manipulation machine for Oscar this year.

The other actors that are far better actors will not Wh**e themself to that level. This is great and shows integrity, but does not lways work for Oscar campain.
