My First Video here: A Clip from L'Or des Anges

Duo des Chats

I present to you a clip of a touching daydream scene from the exceptional 1998 French documentary film L'Or des Anges.

The two boys are actual boy choristers from Les Petits Chanteurs a la Croix de Bois.

It's weird, I know and some people might be uncomfortable by it because of the boys' expressive and intimate (in a playful way) but it's what we always hope and should expect from our kids - that they develop strong, loving, long-lasting relationships with their friends without the fear of being typecast or branded as 'freaks' by society.

If we really want a world of love, peace and harmony for our future generations, we should start by teaching them to love all people without any stigmatising and prejudice involved. The notion that boys should be macho and bottle up their feelings is one that is seriously flawed and should be challenged to the max. It doesn't mean that they'll end up as sissies and girly and effeminate just because boys expressed their feelings like the two 'cat boys' shown in the clip above.

This clip has made me want to locate this French film. Trust the French to make a documentary/film like this since that country has always been associated with 'love' 'relationships' and 'passion' for a long, long time.

Interesting item there! Don't see much around here. It looks like a rare video to me. Too bad this part of the world will be left out from this type of shows. It'd be good to educate our kids on love and friendship rather than bullying and teasing each other mercilessly.
