is in cinemas for first release "Brotherhood" the feature debut of Danish director Nicolas Donato, winner of the Golden Marcus Aurelius at Rome Film Festival last year. The director of Italian descent, released Zoetrope from school by Lars Von Trier, signing a courageous and compelling film about a very sensitive issue: homosexuality in the extreme right. The story told by Donald puts it in the foreground the life of a neo-Nazi group that practices "nice" beat up homosexuals as a hobby in the evening, seeking them in their usual meeting places, or, alternatively, some hapless Pakistani. Diversity bothers ... As a hunter, we can see that the homosexual defense mechanism (called by M. Klein "projective identification"), through which is projected on the other person (the other) a part of one's self denied and refused, so that - once projected and identified him - could be denied to him, raped, killed. The other person becomes the screen on which to project, identify, attack the ghost of his inner monster, as if the other person aggredisse, raped, killed themselves, the deepest part and denied him, not what you want have access to consciousness.
Jimmy So, the hard Nazi group, what the boy befriends a homosexual, then fill the barrel with the other group, will be revealed throughout the film sensitive to the seduction of Lars, a young officer removed from the army after a scandal sexual nature. Among the opening scenes of the film is just the refusal of a promotion than a promise to Lars: "Some soldiers have told us of your special attention to them ... to silence the thing if you refuse the job." The career is nipped in anger relatives of Lars, an upper middle-class family who stubbornly does not listen to Lars, his reasons, but rather to "impose" a further attempt in the military, using the knowledge. This wall of incomprehension, boredom with the mundane life, Lars push to accept the invitation of "Kilo", the head clean off the face of the Nazis.
But because Lars, who knows he is gay and everything seems except the Nazis, joined the group? The director answers the question by saying: "He does not respect him at home because her mother wants it to be as she wants, the father is virtually absent, and he needs a family and love. At first he was attracted by the group because he sees that they have fun, are a kind of family, and then he meets Jimmy. And 'he who has no strong father figure at home, and you'll need. And then he falls in love. Not wishing to be Nazi, but he needs a reference group, where you feel appreciated. Do not get these things from his family. So his is a rational decision: he joined a group to make him feel somewhat important and respected. " This research
alternative to membership of a family is told in the film explicitly: When Lars finally fights with their parents for their interference in his decisions (procures an appointment for the mother to work without him Lars has asked), Lars will live with his "mentor" Jimmy.
Lars and Jimmy live in a small house to renovate near the sea, a place for the activities of the neo Nazi group. But in life together, the camaraderie, the infighting in the swim naked, comes the intimacy of bodies with a certain "naturalness" of the merger brings the two erotic and sexual.
will be the brother of Jimmy, a witness random a relationship between the two, to denounce the "crime" in Chile. Take it the revenge of the pack ... This
homosexual love story brings to mind a beautiful film by A. Lee "The Mysteries of Brokeback Mountain." 'S approach may seem unfair if you stop the narrative style: A. Lee, in fact, describes his love affair with high-definition images, the background of magnificent scenery, while Donato speaks a language almost dry documentary. But in both films comes a love story between men, where our stereotypes would exclude this possibility: between cowboys and neo-Nazis, the icon real male characters. Just a feeling of "unexpected" (what is expected is "commonplace"), brings to question the stereotypes: in our imagination is the homosexual "gay", effeminate, with soft movements, stylist or hairdresser. That's what his place in the social order ... not sure where in the army or are held at bay herds of animals!
That this stereotype of homosexuality is far from "natural", tells us that in ancient Greek culture, homosexuality was practiced by men regarded as more virile. Socrates, for example, is quoted by several sources as an example of heroism in war, tireless, brave, homosexual-heterosexual together ... Yes, homosexual and father, another infringement of our stereotypes that will perfectly "classify" the human nature into categories waterproof ...
So, this film deserves attention is the theme explored in both the quality of the look on these borderlands, a look that tells essentially a love story between men, with a grip on reality that makes me think of the documentary.
