remember the 1966 movie blowup . that the movie that claim to be a murder thriller but be nothing of the sort . young soul rebel be basically the same and it start with a murder in a park then spend most of it running time go out of it way not to be a murder thriller except for the last five minute which reveals who the murderer be . i be surprised anyone be still able to remember or care about the murder subplot by the end of the movie since it concentrate more on the soul club scene of the late 1970s . bad it feature several scene of men kiss and in one scene there something a lot bad than kiss go onbefore anyone go run to the admin scream that a raving homophobe have submit a review let me point out that brokeback mountain have receive massive critical acclaim ( though it unlikely to make more than 50 million dollar at the u box office ) so much for homophobia . what my main gripe the opening and closing scene revolve around a murder and very little in between have anything to do with the allege main story . there be no main story a we see a rambling ill focus film concern itself with the club scene of 1977 . ironically enough there no feel of time or place here and could easily be set in any part of britain at any point during the last 30 year this be just another cheaply make british movie that be produce by people who have no desire to make movie for a mainstream audience . if they have decide to make a movie revolve around a murder in a park that would have be fine and ditto if they have decide to make a movie revolve around the london soul scene but see a they have try to combine the two young soul rebel be a failure while the scene of homosexuality be totally alienate for the average cinema goer . at least brokeback mountain deserves credit for know what it be .
