Big Eden: Lovely, Romantic, Gay

At first I didn’t want to watch this movie because the protagonist gay man was not cute enough. But then one lazy day, with nothing elso to do, I watched it — and was so very glad I did. One of my favorite gay movies. Probably next to Bishonen.

Big Eden is a tiny fictional town in northwestern Montana, as Preston Sturges or Frank Capra might have envisioned it. Timber and Cowboy country. This is the story of Henry Hart, a successful New York Artist, who returns to the town of his childhood to care for the ailing grandfather who raised him. Back in Big Eden, Henry must come to terms with his relationship to Dean Stewart, his best friend from high School, as well as the object of his unrequited love. All these years Henry has been pining for a dream image of Dean from back then. This is also the story of Pike Dexter, the shy, unassuming Native American owner of the town’s general store, who is as surprised as anyone to find himself falling in love with Henry. The people of Big Eden conspire and attempt to bring Henry and Pike together.

    I defintley recommended for anyone’s GLBT home video library. It is poingant, honest and sincere. Big Eden is a coming of age film for “thirty-somethings” gays. There is nothing more painful or humourous to watch than Dexter Pike (Eric Schweig: Last of the Mohicans, The Missing) trying to combat his shyness everytime he gets near Henry Hart (Arye Gross:Ellen, Hexed). But Big Eden is’nt just an ‘unrequited-love story’; it’s about going home again and finding acceptance.
    It has a great supporting cast that includes Louise Fletcher (One flew over the Cucloo’s nest). And the Montanna backdrop is incredible.

    So,if you’re tired of looking at films of ‘pretty boys’ getting it on at the club (*Yeah Right, who gets tired of that!) and in the market for a romantic-comedy to watch on a Sunday afternoon; this is your movie. Enjoy!
