"Making Love" is a interesting movie. It was the "Brokeback Mountain" of its day. The movie was made in the early 1980's and was released in 1982.
Now this movie was written and released before the anybody ever herd of the word AIDS .
In fact gay rights were making ground until Ronald Reagan came into office and AIDS hit the gay community.
Now this movie was ground breaking. Today the emotions of the movie still ring true. ( A MARRIED STRAIGHT MAN falls IN LOVE WITH ANOTHER MAN).
Today if the movie was made AIDS would be the central focus. However this was made before AIDS. The story is well told. I think its a little bland here there because its try's not to offend everyone. When you do that you make only OKAY art.
I recommend seeing this movie only because we can see the more things change the more they stay the same!
