I am sure that Paul would be delighted with the comparison to Hugh Jackman, and I agree. I love Paul's accent and his singing voice. I really look forward to hearing him sing in The History of Sound.

why do paul mescals vocals in that snl skit where he does a parody of his character in gladiator 2 lowk give off hugh jackman in the greatest showman....

Holding The Man (2015)

For pride month, the fourth LGBTQ film that I watched for the first time is a 2015 film from my country of Australia, called Holding The Man. The film was directed by Neil Armfield and is adapted from Timothy Conigrave's 1995 memoir of the same name.

This is an exceptional and devastating film, with terrific chemistry between Ryan Corr and Craig Stott in the leading roles. In 1976, two students at an all boys Catholic school in Melbourne, Timothy Conigrave (Corr) and John Caleo (Stott) fall in love. This is of course is a problem for the school when this is discovered, and disapproved of by the boys' parents. This was a time when homosexuality was illegal in Australia.

This is also a story about AIDS, and as the story is devastating, you can probably guess where it's heading. Much like All Of Us Strangers, Holding The Man broke me, and I will think about this film for a long time.

Score: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sunrise on the Reaping

I just finished reading 'Sunrise on the Reaping' by Suzanne Collins, which is the fifth book in The Hunger Games series. Suzanne Collins really knows how to break her readers' hearts.

This book is told from the point of view of 16 year old Haymitch Abernathy, who competes in the 50th Hunger Games. This book answers many questions as to why Haymitch is the way that he is, when we first meet him the first Hunger Games book, barely functioning as a mentor for Katniss and Peeta for the 74th Hunger Games. Once again, Collins has crafted another excellent novel, which expands on the lore of Panem.

I am mentally preparing my tears for the upcoming film adaptation. I wonder if Kiefer Sutherland will be cast as President Snow. It would be perfect, as he is the same age as Snow in this novel (58 years old), and Kiefer's late father, Donald, played Snow in the first four films of the series.

Added: I just read that Ralph Fiennes has been cast as President Snow, an excellent choice!

All Of Us Strangers (2023) - Written and directed by Andrew Haigh. Starring Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal.

In From The Side (2022) - Written by Matt Carter and Adam Silver, and directed by Matt Carter. Starring Alexander Lincoln and Alexander King.

During the press conference, the film's screenwriter Ben Shattuck and production designer Deborah Jensen mentioned the American folk ballad called "Silver Dagger". I really look forward to hearing Paul and Josh perform this together in The History of Sound, just as I look forward to watching the entire film.
