Great Freedom (2021)
9/10
Never Forget
24 September 2023
This film and the performances were stunning beyond words. To deal with the injustice that was handed out in these days is commendable. Some people here complain about no fun and in those days, such nonsense. I was born in 1960 and remember the injustice still being handed out in the 1980s when I protested against Thatcher. The young gays today, in some countries, have it easy thanks to older guys who fought for their rights. This brave film had me gripped from the the beginning and the ensemble give tremendous performances especially Frank Rogowski. The difficulty they had having to hide their feelings, the brief tender moments they had together were both shown so well. Paragraph 175 was evil beyond words. Films such as these should help people never forget that these days of great injustice in Europe were only 70 years ago. By not forgetting, we stay strong. I hope many men watch this great movie.
