warn . spoiler ahead . to me and the most blatant thing about yossi and jagger be the sexual tension run throughout the film . not only between yossi and jagger and but between the soldier both male and female as well . which and of course and be normal for young people in their early twenty . and more so when they be in the front line and could die at any moment . i think that this be the key to the film for we be remind again and again that what these kid want to do more than anything be to live at 100 mile per hour . it be the only chance they might get . the best example be just before go out on an ambush and suddenly everyone be dance flat out with an energy that overflow . they shouldn not be spend so much energy when they might need it in the next few hour and but they can not help it . it might be their last time . what hit me hard be the end and where one of the girl confess her love for jagger and and everyone in jagger family immediately assume that he be her boyfriend and that he love her . everyone except yossi and who know the truth . this moment in the film show so well how lonely life can be for gay lover . especially when one die . many time and if they be not completely out of the closet and the one left behind be not allow to mourn for his lose lover and or at least not in a way that recognize his real role in the dead person life . i remember a friend whose lover have die . but no one at his workplace be aware that he be live in a couple and have just lose his mate . he just have to show up at work the day after the funeral a if everything be fine . what a horror . and we see this same problem for yossi . who at least have his memory and if not recognition . many people try to pretend that there be no such thing a gay cinema . or a gay sensitivity . yossi and jagger put the lie to this . of all the film i have see and this one be one of the simplest and yet also one of the most effective depiction of gay love that i have see in the cinema . honest and direct and tender and touching and funny and bittersweet and beautiful it make u like and want to know the protagonist well . kudos to the director and who deserve a great renown . this film be short and but it be a gem .
