BEAUTIFUL THING (1996) dir. Hettie Macdonald Set during a long, hot summer on the Thamesmead Estate in Southeast London, three teenagers edge towards adulthood. Jamie is in love with his classmate, and while his homosexuality remains concealed, his introverted nature and dislike of football are reason enough for his classmates to bully him. Ste is the aforementioned classmate, who lives with his abusive brother and stepfather nextdoor to Jamie. Leah is also a neighbour; expelled from school, she takes a variety of drugs, constantly listens and sings along to her mother's records, and finds herself at odds with Sandra, Jamie's mother.

Movie: BEAUTIFUL THING (1996, ENGLAND) Continued

At the conclusion of the movie Jamie (Glen Berry) & Ste (Scott Neal) prepare for an evening together at the gay bar. Ste is still hiding it from his father but Sandra is fully aware. Still coming to terms with her son's homosexuality but being supportive.

Jamie & Ste make sure no one is around and dance together but a crowd quickly appears. Leah (Tameka Empson) and Sandra (Linda Henry) come upon the scene.

Leah along with Sandra join Jamie and Ste while dancing to Dream Alitte Dream of Me by the late Mama Cass Elliot.

In fact the entire movie featured songs by Mama Cass.

It's funny the song Make Your Own Kind Of Music fits so well with coming out. Aside from elements of abuse and bullying this turned out to be one of my favorites. Two boys finding themselves and one another.

Nobody can tell ya, there's only one song worth singing. They may try and sell ya. Cause it hangs them up to see someone like you. But you gotta make your own kinda music. Sing your own special song. Make your own kind of music even if nobody else sings along. By Mama Cass Elliot.

Y'all I just watched the cutest gay movie ever it's called 'Beautiful Thing' It really was beautiful.

Here's the description: Shy Jamie (Glen Berry) and athletic Ste (Scott Neal) are teen boys who live near each other in the London projects. Both boys think they could be gay, and finally explore their feelings when Ste is allowed to stay over at Jamie's place after an incident with his abusive father. There, the boys grow close and open themselves up to the idea of homosexuality, while Jamie's caring mother, Sandra (Linda Henry), and quirky teen neighbor, Leah (Tameka Empson), offer much needed emotional support.

Watch it. It's really good and it so adorable. Now imagine this movie as krbk. I think it would fit so fucking well. Katsuki would be Jamie, Ei would be Ste and Mina would be Leah because I just get vibes from her.

Highly recommend.
