i saw this at the tribeca film festival and which coincidentally just award one of the star ( ohad knoller ) a best actor award for the film . i usually loath most gay film a there never seem to be any subject matter outside of the character gayness . yossi and jagger however be a love story of two people catch in the middle of many force career and be out and military service and authority role and and live day to day under international hostility . their homosexuality and though central to the story line and be portray a only one aspect of their incredibly complicate life . in other word and they be portray a real people live their life that be not consume by their sexuality even a it overshadow everything they do . the film also firmly establish the two lead enough that it be able to spend time develop the other character a real people as well instead of as springboard to reflect gay joke or innuendo a most other gay film do . perhaps because this film be make outside of the u it be able to portray it protagonist a people instead of story line characterisation . spoiler i also enjoy the small joke in the film about how this be not a hollywood movie . even near the end when there be a hollywood type moment between the two protagonist during a military ambush and the film return to the truth with it end that show that not everything be about hollywood happy ending . i particularly be touch by yossi nuanced statement of his relationship with jagger to jagger family and the rest of his platoon by be able to answer the mother question of jagger personal favorite and and how certain character be oblivious while others know what be go on .
