Bittersweet Rain appeared on my Netflix feed with an icon of two shirtless boys. It must have a gay theme.
No trailer or reviews online, so I fast forwarded through the first half.There are two scenes of the boys in bed together, giggling and flirting. It looks like one of those old-fashioned coming out movies, where the the boys fall in love without knowing that LGBT people exist, face extreme homophobia, and one decides to get with a girl so he can have a "normal" life.
The original title: Saudade fez Morada aqui Dentro, "Longing has made its home here inside." One of the boys, Bruno, is gradually going blind. Gay people have to have endless tragedy.
Obviously I'm not going to watch -- f*ck the Sadness -- but I found a review under the original title. Bruno is poor, going blind, and his crush is unrequited.
Huh But they were in bed together.
And the crush is on a girl? WTF?
This is a poster advertising a heterosexual romance?
Queerbaiting at its most blatant.
