highly recommended

An ambitious epic romance that traces the course of two men through their initial meeting as teenagers in 1973 until the mid 80?s. Alan is a member of the Young Republicans and an aspiring journalist. He?s working on a book about the evils of homosexuality, and invites Tommy, a gay rights activist, over for dinner and to interview him for the book. Thus begins a friendship that leads to a love affair told against the background of Anita Bryant, radical politics and the emerging gay rights movement. A huge audience hit during its festival and National Theatrical release, THE TRIP is a funny, touching and powerful film.

Love Concurs All

When I first saw this movie, I turned the station because I thought it was boring. I bought it and decided to check it out. Glad I picked it up and viewed it. A movie from the heart and for the heart. These guys did really well in this film and proved love concurs all no matter how long it takes or what you may be going through.

THE TRIP IS A GREAT JOURNEY

I received and watched the great film THE TRIP yesterday. The story is very moving, all the actors are wonderfully involved in their roles and the final "TRIP" itself is a real adventure.
THE TRIP was very eloquently reviewed by Amazon's three main reviewers, but I was just puzzled why the film is presented on DVD in full screen only (even the main title is not wholly shown) when the disc cover says "1.77:1 anamorphically enhanced", and Amazon's site details say "Fullscreen and Widescreen"!!! The trailer is in Widescreen but why is the film not presented as stated. (There is no access in the Menu to obtain the correct ratio).
Any answers please, tla-releasing??? THE TRIP well-deserves better treatment and wider publicity.

Better than Brokeback Mountain

This should have been the gay tragedy thrown into the mainstream instead of "Brokeback Mountain" Granted, I think the writing, acting, and directing is superior in "Brokeback" I feel the storyline is not. The fact that "Brokeback Mountain" became the 'mainstream' gay film upsets me. I did not like those characters and I did not like the way gay men were depicted. The characters in "The Trip" felt more authentic and more realistic. You could tell they were in head-over-heels in love with each other and although they were flawed and the results were tragic, you saw and witnessed their love. If "The Trip" had the budget and studio deal "Brokeback" had, "Brokeback Mountain" would have been another low-budget indie film and "The Trip" would have been the Oscar winning film.
