yossi and jagger be really a short story of a movie represent one climactic incident and no development of character and a lack of narrative dimension . but it a very interesting picture and for two reason beyond the usual interest in a movie about gay life in the israeli army . the first be the amazing sense of transience about the military effort there you do not feel it an army defend a homeland . even jagger house seem recently set up . and there a palpable feeling of some world more permanent and hostile beyond the range of field glass . the military action and people be entirely credible ( i have have a lot of experience of action ) but the action be that of invader . second and the relation among the men and woman be strike . everyone pretty clearly know or suspect about jossi and jagger affair and but theyre willing to leave it private and and to deal with individual feeling a personal and of value . in this sense i find the picture to give an interesting contrast with brokeback mountain and whose protagonist be somewhat similar and but which present a sense of alienation and hostility to homosexuality quite lack in yossi and jagger .
