Review of Love! Valour! Compassion! (1997) by James H — 05 Jan 2010
Love! Valour! Compassion! is another film that touches on homosexuality, which has left me a sad and yet empowering emotion at looking at homosexual lifeway.
This film tackles the issues on friendship, sexual relationships, genuine love, betrayal, AIDS--a touch different from the other gay films whose central contention is discrimination.
The film is a showcase of good friendship challenged by betrayal and forgiveness. This was shown in Bob's betrayal of Gregory in an affair with Ramon. Despite of it, there was forgiveness from Gregory's heart. Genuine love was also seen between Arthur and Perry whose relationship stood the test of time challenged by their differing views toward life. Later in the film, Buzz also found love for ill-fated James. Put to test with James' AIDS, Buzz didn't give him up?pushing him toward greater love.
The film reveals to us that love, valour, and compassion fix the damage and overcome all challenges in life.
