Watch this one...and walk through the looking glass | |
| I found the documentary "When Boys Fly" to be a surprisingly engaging and fascinating, candid, shocking and sometimes sad peek through the looking glass to see what really goes on at "gay raves," aka circuit parties. Filmmakers Rolov and Halpern did a great job in showing us the world in which this segment of so-called "A-listers" live and party, and how some newcomers and White party veterans are drawn into the circle of rave party life and its immediate results...good and bad. The quick editing makes for a fast-paced viewing and humor is where you might not always expect to find it in this honest and non-judgemental portrayal of this subculture within a subculture that I believe can be enjoyed by gay and straight, young-to-middle-aged audiences alike. | |
this is no network-TV reality series | |
| I saw this movie at a film festival and I must say the story it documents is spellbinding, eye-opening, encapsulating, funny, and sad all at the same time. By no means does this documentary insinuate that all gay men are lured into the hard-partying yet sometimes dark world of "circuit parties"; on the contrary, it chronicles the exploits of a neophyte to the circuit party scene who really feels that he doesn't have anything in common with these other guys, questions why he is there, yet is intrigued nonetheless. With the benefit of the omnipresent camera, we watch in true reality TV form as this person discovers the circuit party cultural phenomenon for the first time. He parties like he never has before, meets some interesting characters, experiences individual growth, discovers a sense of belonging, yet never loses his individuality, sense of grounding, and self control. This story is familiar to some of us that have been to a few circuit parties, had fun, but by no means would be considered "circuit boys". I would recommend this to anyone who has been to a circuit party, never been to but would like to attend a circuit party, knows someone that goes to circuit parties, or is just plain interested in the cultural phenomenon in a segment of the gay world of the drugs, the boys, and the partying. | |
Great video | |
| This is a great video. I first want to say this is not a movie, which I thought it was when I bought it. Its follows some gay guys as they go to a circuit party in Florida. Its great at showing how some guys live their lives. The best thing I liked about the movie is how it is all "real" and nothing was staged. It also has great video quality, and great editing. |
