"Tell No One": a lovely Italian gay movie.


Tell no one (Not a word)! Today I want to talk about this romantic gay themed Italian comedy (the Italian title is "Come non detto"): it tells about Mattia and his Spanish boyfriend Eduard. Mattia is about to move from Rome to Madrid, so he'll be able to live with his boyfriend without telling his parents that he's gay. The problem is that Eduard thinks that Mattia is completly out of the closet and that his parents support their relationship. So Eduard decides to surprise his boyfriend and, the day before Mattia had planned to leave Rome, comes to Italy to meet his parents. In this situation, Mattia will have to decide what to do: tell his parents that he's gay or tell his boyfriend that he's been a liar for a long time?
















Here's the movie trailer, with English subtitles:



I really love this movie for two main reasons.

First of all, it's one of the few Italian movies about same sex love and, most of all, without any kind of stereotype: Mattia and Eduard are two regular guys, who happened to be gay. That's all. Italian movies can be really stereotyped when it comes to gay characters.

The second reason is that this is the "movie of my life". A little more than one years ago I was essentially in same situation of the protagonist: I had a wonderful boyfriend, I was about to move to another city and, most of all, I hadn't come out to my parents yet. I have to say that "Come non detto" gave me the courage to come out to my family: seeing a movie as this one in an almost totally Catholic country like Italy made me think that it really "gets better".

I totally advise anyone to see this movie, you won't regret it!

Famous people I kinda stalk!

Get ready, because this isn't going to be a deep post, not at all... but a hot one for sure! :p
I'm sure that every person has a few favourite actors, or, generally speaking, some favourite famous people. Well, considering only the hot ones, those ones your boyfriend/girlfriend can't stand because you always talk about them and about their perfection... these are mine ( AND IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CELEBRITIES, PLEASE DO NOT BE SHY AND CONTACT ME. LOL):


1) GRANT GUSTIN
I've known him since his first role in Ryan Murphy's Glee, as the evil Sebastian Smythe. Then he appeared in a few movies (like the interesting "A mother's nightmare"), he played two twins in a CSI Miami episode (yeah, one hot Grant wasn't enough!), and finally acted the part of Flash in Arrow... if you like him, get ready beacause he'll be the protagonist of next fall series The Flash! Isn't he amazing?!?





2) ALEXANDER KOCH
This American actor is known for his role in Under the Dome, where he plays Junior, a crazy guy who locks his ex-girlfriend in his own basement. Well, Alexander, considering your cute puppy eyes and your incredible lips... you can lock me in your basement whenever you want! Ahahah!! (*psycho laugh*)

 



3) TOM DALEY
Let's talk about "sport", especially one of the hottest ones: diving! There's nothing much to say... isn't Tom Daley super hot? And considering he's gay, I may have a "real" possibility with him (yeah, just dream about it... - Shut up brain!).




4) JAVIER CALVO
The final one is a Spanish actor from the tv series "Fisica o Quimica" ("Physics or Chemistry" in English), a tv show that was largly criticized for his main themes (like, for example, homosexuality...). Javier Calvo plays Fer, a lovely gay boy who falls in love with his (boy)friend David. Isn't he really cute?


 

Well, these are the men I'll never have, so I'd better end this post right now or I'll sink into a very deep depression. LOL

Take care,

G.
