A Utopea of a Film 5 von 5 Punkten
What a wonderful surprise on all levels: script, director, cast, production value and -last but not least - emotional impact. This is probably the first gay-themed film that truly touched me on a very personal level.
Structured as a modern-day fable, "Big Eden" explores the same issues that peoples of minorities feel and deal with on a daily basis for having committed no other crime than being "different" from the "norm".
Normally, we "freaks of nature" seek a false sense of belonging in ghettos, or seek anonymity in the hustle and bustle of large cities - anywhere, as long as it is far away from our families or close-knit communities of "normal" people. Learning to hate ourselves at a very early age for being different (those of who shout "pride" the loudest are usually the one who harbor the most self-loathing), secretly wishing to fit in and be accepted as opposed to rebelliously boxing our way into a society that prefers evolution to revolution, most "minority peoples" become emotional cripples, incapable of accepting or giving real love - how can we, when we don't even love ourselves?
This is the reality that our hero, Henry Hart, lives in...that is, until he enters "Big Eden": a small, tucked-away community in Montana in which everyone knows everyone, where no one stands alone, where Christian love is more than a goal that makes us feel guilty for not achieving. "Big Eden" is a utopia in which people are judged for their goodness and not their race or sexual proclivities, in which the concept of family extends way past bloodlines.
Those of us who have spent their lives on the outside looking in, or anonymously minding their own business from within, like Henry, will feel awkward at first being surrounded by all of this unconditional acceptance and human kindness. We will want to shun it off as intrusive at best, not to be trusted at worst, like Henry. With luck, we will, however, get sucked into the healing quality of it all before reaching for the remote control to shut it out and label it as a painful fantasy that will never happen. Many will want to run from this "Eden" (as does Henry) before even giving it a real chance.
Those who stay with this allegory for a perfect world in which all people can live along side of each other, will start to understand that this new Eden will only be achievable, when we stop hiding and hating ourselves...when we understand that love and caring can be infectious - they could even cause a pandemic.
Does "Big Eden" really exist? No, not at the moment. Could it ever exist? Yes, it is possible, but probably on a global level highly improbable...after all, we are "only" human. That having been said, it should never cease to be our goal, and who knows, maybe it is possible on a smaller level - like the microcosm represented in "Big Eden", and that microcosm starts within.
Ein besonderer Film 5 von 5 Punkten
Ich bin noch immer von Big Eden begeistert. Ich habe mir den Film bereits mehrmals angeschaut .Die Schauspieler sind sehr überzeugend, die Story spannend und bewegend - jedoch ohne Kitsch. Darüber hinaus gibt es gute Musik . Leider ist dieser Film nur in englischer Sprache erhältlich was jedoch kein Nachteil ist da die Aussprache sehr deutlich und gut verständlich ist . Für Fans von Eric Schweig ein Muss !
Ich kann Big Eden nur weiterempfehlen. |

Claudia Christian before and after pictures 5 von 5 Punkten
This movie is not one to be dissected. The actors, plot and execution were perfect. Watching Claudia (I was) you do not realize all the support around her. I think she was in her element and this is how I will type cast her.
Matthew Welsh (Arye Gross) is a bell boy at a hotel. He fantasizes that he is some sort of lover and flirts with the guests. Hexina (Claudia Christian) is a supermodel with a secret. He picked the wrong guest to flirt with as he shall soon find out her secret and all that do die.
Matthew Welsh finds out what it is like to have your bragging come true. When he shows Hexina off in the car it reminds me of the photograph scene in "Sixteen Candles (1984)." It is no fun if no one sees you. However the people that see Hexina (Claudia Christian) have a tendency to shuffle off this mortal coil. So watch out whom you chose to have a roof top rendezvous with. |
