IMHO this is under-rated on IMDb. Pacino plays one hell of role in this flick, pretty bold choice. In some ways similar to "Serpico", but dealing with the seedy underworld of S&M. Another great one from William Friedkin. This 10bit encode is definitely a big step-up from Galaxie's Thanks for the upgrade ... 👌 👍 |
Quality is EXCELLENT, it's a good as a "Criterion REMASTERED" encode. Almost done with SINGLE LINE subtitle, will post when completed. |
Subtitle: https://subscene.com/subtitles/cruising/english/3255023 Snapshots: Cruising (1980) [10bit] https://ibb.co/album/zT3X2m Sub revised with my newest/latest SINGLE LINE scripts |
One of the best classics out there. Set in old NYC in the meatpacking district. With a special appearance by Ed O'Neil . A must watch THANKS uploader |
Subtitle not downloading. Says "forbidden" on the subscene response on attempts. |
A genuine masterclass masterpiece that was panned and boycotted by gay activists when the movie was released then. Probably reel cutting too close to reality of the sub culture. |
Don't sleep on this! Interesting, well directed, well acted, and just a solid movie. And a must watch if you're a Pacino fan. |
Because it's actually good and not some modern gay cult crap that seeks to normalize and seek validation for mental illness or attention seeking. |
I'm glad that it shows how these people really are and that their lifestyle is truly degenerate and highly unhealthy |
Watched. Cruising is about the influence of cultural norms on sexuality. Cruising is a glimpse into a particular time and era. It highlights one aspect of the gay culture in the 1980s. The early 80’s ushered in several situational topical films that raised questions regarding societal issues. Looking for Mr. Goodbar was another type of film during this time. There was a rawness to these films, an honesty that many viewers resisted. Opponents of the film felt it perpetuated stereotypes about the gay culture. It is essential to remember there is invariably some truth in stereotypes. The director was clever to use an elliptical style narrative, it raises several questions and provokes curiosity. |
William Friedkin based some elements of this film on an actual case the" Bag murders" which took place over a 2yr period between 1975 and77. I'm from NYC, I remember it well. During the opening sequence you see the body parts in black plastic garbage bags being pulled out of the river (The Hudson ) that was real. The case to this day remains unsolved. Ironically, ( and you can't make this up ) Paul Bateson who actually played the radiology technician in Friedkin's The Exorcist" was the prime suspect and was convicted of second-degree murder of a entertainment journalist, but denied the serial killings known as the "Bag murders" He also was a part of the Gay BSDM leather culture, which is shown prominently in the film. Talk abt inspiration, freaking unreal! |
The first gay movie I have ever seen. I thought and still think that it was great of Al Pacino to play the role and going in to the gay subscene like that. The theme music of Boys Town Gang "Cruising the street" kept lingering on forever in my mind. I just read that Al Pacino gave all his money he earned with this movie to a good cause. Because he thought it was not a good portrayal of the gay scene. |
