O Beautiful

This film is ludicrous. Absolutely ridiculous.

Such a shame that very sad subject matter often produces good books and films: this is one such case. Beautifully shot - with partial split-screen imagery - the characters were portrayed to perfection.

"O Beautiful" is a hauntingly beautiful film about a student who has been gay-bashed and left without his pants in a cornfield. It takes place between Brad (Jay Gillespie), and Andy (David Clayton Rogers),another student who may have been one of the bashers, but who was certainly a witness.

Its surprising freshness is the lead virtue of this short film, reminding a play. two characters.

I'm sorry, I must disagree with the other reviewer. I thought the short film was poignant and very realistic.

"O Beautiful" is a half-hour live action film from 2002, so this one will have its 15th anniversary next year. I am usually pretty critical about gay-themed short films as they lack realism on many occasions.

I totally disagree with the bad reviews of this short film. It wasn't about a title transfer.

Gay teenager Brad (Jay Gillespie) has been attacked and assaulted (not shown) and left battered and nude from the waist down in a cornfield. Straight Andy (David Clayton Rogers) comes by and tries to help him--but why?

I watched this in 2 parts on YouTube's queerflix and came right away to IMDb, excitedly hoping to learn more. First, if you've watched numerous crappy commercial gay movies that people excuse for being low budget (or for a pandering full frontal), seeing this short film gives lie to the idea that low-budget is ever any excuse for crap or that an exposed willy is the ultimate measure of cinema.
