The object
of my affection is the title of a movie that – regardless of the quality of its
cast – shows how impossible life can be for gay man to live in our very
heterosexual society.
I got it
mainly because the star is the very HOT Jennifer Aniston, but having watched
it already I can only say that this movie gives a superlative description of
how gayness truly can’t be (nor ever become) part of our society.
Now, if
there might be a gay among my readers here, let me clarify that I have nothing
at all against homosexuality, in fact my dearly beloved cousin (professor of Psychology
at the University in Rome) is homosexual since many years and has been living with his companion –
a man who was married and has a daughter – for several years. I’m hoping that
this can justify my “below zero” vote to this movie that has its only focus on
showing how wrong and unacceptable is to be homosexuals in our society.
What makes
it even more pitiful – if possible – is to have the beautiful Jennifer be in
love with one partner of a gay couple and dream that the “right type of love”
could win his heart over his true gay love.
In other
words, given that my vote is below zero, my recommendation is – if you must watch it – to be alone with at least a
case of bottles of single malt near you (more to say about single malt in a near future).
