Overwhelming and heartbreaking. "What's this?" "Stupid." Amazingly sensitively acted, realistically written, adroitly edited, well directed. I know both gay and straight friends who are HIV positive. The fear of infecting those you love is real. The fear of rejection and feeling of isolation is real. Looking for more of Alfian Sa'at and Royston Tan's work. I'm most definitely a fan.
I have lost so many friends along the way, but, it's served me as a eye opener. To me and my other friends I do have,, we shall keep on going through our journey of life learning from other peoples mistakes.. Michael.
I Like The PLOT ! It has A NICE RING to it ! ARTISTICALLY DONE ! More of This Kind of MOVIE - Instead of Just PHYSICAL MOMENTS ! I Love The THOUGHT that went into The MAKING of This SHORT FILM ! This is EXCELLENT ! ALL THUMBS UP ! Good Job !
Powerful and authentic with nothing wasteful. Sensitively acted, adroitly directed, realistically written. I have straight and gay friends who are HIV positive. The fear of infecting those you love is real. The fear of rejection and isolation is real. Definitely a fan of Alfian Sa'at and Royston Tan. Thank you for the beautiful and heartfelt work.
The end scene is phenomenal: One is led to believe that Wai Kit's lover is being confrontational and accusatory when he asks, "Why didn't you tell me?" However, he tightens their embrace, while simultaneously indicating his support by crying, "I could have gone with you." Wow! That's true love. This is one of the best directed and acted shorts I have ever seen.
This is utterly breathtaking. I've never seen Singaporean filmmaking so incredibly done before. The lighting and the editing and just. The way it says so much and every moment is weighed. The cast is amazing. Completely heart-wrenching and terrific.
i have experienced this before,those days all the things seemed to be meaningless and desperate,i prayed for him wishing his text is negative and now we broke up ,watched all the video with tears.Thanks
World AIDS Day-related non-fiction books: Christian John Wikane, the music journalist, recently commented: "God's Other Children - A London Memoir is one of the most remarkable, honest, and inspiring autobiographies I've ever read. It is a gripping read and a valuable document of our times, especially about the advent of the HIV/AIDS crisis in the U.K. I hope Mr. Scott has the opportunity to present this work in class rooms ... our youth need to understand the history that Mr. Scott describes so vividly. With forewords by Sir Nick Partridge (THT) and Peter Tatchell, God's Other Children: A London Memoir is available now from Amazon, Foyles, and Gay's The Word bookstore!
I can only hope that the tears are for JOY and not sadness. We all need to be up front with our love ones and partners. Please everyone know your status and be safe.
I love this short, the only part that I didn't like is that when it goes off you still don't know if he is positive or negative. The tears don't tell it. He could be crying because he is relieved that he isn't or because he just found out that he is and when his boyfriend asked him "what's this?" he said it was his bill. I hate cliff hangers.
Unfortunately in the film, the boy is poz, the clue being the sexual partner placing the retro-virals on his chest after/during the party.Great piece of film-making and very powerfully moving. Kudos to those involved.
This movie just sent waves through my body, this is what I don't understand. Why sleep around if you have an amazing, sweet, handsome, loving, caring boyfriend at home who takes care of you, loves you?! This is why so many people have aids because they just want more and more they can't be happy with what they have so they go cheat or they go "experiment" and then they don't protect themselves and they get some kind of disease. HIV is the worst of them all!! Take care of yourselves!!
It's a good idea to talk about the past when the past can come back to haunt you. Some guys feel it's lying to keep silent about things like this..that omission is lying. I kept silent on an important issue once, and when my boyfriend found out, he ended us.
Amazing Ending. Paper. I was very impressed. And..what most will wonder is what I do wonder..the ending..Tears of Happiness? Or Tears of Sadness? IT is not explained..IT was a wow. Paper. Great work by all. YES WORLD...I can give out a positive review. LOL.
This is why I don't have sex anymore. Years ago..I got my scare in life..and I refuse to go through that again. The hand and the net is good for me. Thank You. Because...who can you truly trust? Just yourself.
I wish people would make happy short films. I understand the phantom of HIV looms over all of us (the whole world actually) but it's starting to define gay men. Sure the topic makes for gripping (read as pathetic as well) cinema but so would a positive (no pun intended) message about gay relationships.
They are Chinese Singaporeans who speak English in Singaporean accent. By the way, English is the main language of Singapore and the most widely spoken language.
If you love gay movies like this, I recommend you watch these movies: Soundless Wind Chime, Eternal Summer, and Permanent Residence. These three are gorgeous movies! depicting gay men in their lives and finding true love. Watch them and i know you'll fall in love with them. Good luck!
No of course not, I just think people should be more careful, I'm not trying to generalize here but gay men do sleep around a lot, i know that men in general sleep around a lot and so do women. But people in general should protect themselves.
LoverMusify, is that another excuse that if someone do not have an amazing, sweet, handsome, loving, caring boyfriend .....then he can do out to sleep around?
Jimmy is so cute i just want to kiss him....SG is a great country but has a long way to go on HIV/AIDS policy that currently drives gay men not to get tested and/or treated increasing the spread of this pandemic....!!
Amazing. It is the ending. It is Paper. Great Performances. Truly powerful ending. And Still do not know what was on the Paper...Tears of Happiness? Tears of Sadness. Only the Director knows.
This is reality.....as much as you love your bf ...use protection as much as you love sex..use protection As much as you want to have sex.....use protection This is reality for gay or straight....
Thanks. Touching and Beautiful in so many senses. Make you proud to be a gay man, yet also reminds people of the consequences of playing around. Thanks.

Wow this a very well thought out movie about HIV! Educate yourselves about the virus so we can support one another!
Unfortunately in the film, the boy is poz, the clue being the sexual partner placing the retro-virals on his chest after/during the party.Great piece of film-making and very powerfully moving. Kudos to those involved.
I just love seeing films with positive gay characters. Thumbs up for this one.
the acting is so real.. it moved me to tears
The actor Kelvin Ong is a dreamboat! Mmmmm...
This film came out 4 years ago- I wonder if he has had any similar roles or not so similar roles since.
This is a really well done clip! 5/5 stars

This was REALLY good, had me on the edge of my chair all the time. The actors are great, and the guy who had HIV is really, really cute .___.

They are Singaporeans. Chinese has a strong accent while speaking english. They are different than Filipinos
The end was so lovely....
Wow very nice movie
This was such a beautiful film.
This is a beautiful film. I'm jealous of that guy, he has an amazing loving boyfriend. Though I am confused. Does he have aids or not?
damn... i really feel the emotion..... this.... is the real movie

Thank you very much for information
Results???
Wow great video!!!
Make me cried watching this film... OMG...
What was last said when the bf asked ‘what’s this?’
Thx
Caption says ‘speedbird’
lol I’m not sure what that means
Let me know thx
Lol I see ‘stupid’ in the comments below which makes more sense
love it ... great job
He doesn't have aids. That's why he gave Justin the gift. Paper. To show he's safe. What better gift then knowing that person won't leave you.
I think Wai Kit is positive, hence at the end he was crying and embracing his equally dejected lover....
Wow... what a story.
Very nice ~
Omg it's hard to not feed the trolls....
i love this. so good
please title please
Lol the accent is like South African, Samoan and African all merged in one.... different that's cool
thanks for uploading!
Is it just me or what? I laughed when the girl said on the phone: "Positive... Shit... Why the hell did I say that?" :D
This is beautiful
No of course not, I just think people should be more careful, I'm not trying to generalize here but gay men do sleep around a lot, i know that men in general sleep around a lot and so do women. But people in general should protect themselves.
Was he positive or not?
LOL I thought they said"The first year you give him BIG BUG"
I love Justin so much..
Wait.... so did he get HIV or not? or we are left guessing the outcome?
LoverMusify, is that another excuse that if someone do not have an amazing, sweet, handsome, loving, caring boyfriend .....then he can do out to sleep around?
jimmy u rocks..nice acting...
The couple was impressive. They just scream male-
Singlish has a distinct accent.
Whats your problem with their accent people... You should focus on the story and the lesson they are trying to convey!!! Be careful guys...
singaporean english accent sounds strong with chinese accent, :) im pretty sure this is malaysian accent. ^_^
Jimmy is so cute i just want to kiss him....SG is a great country but has a long way to go on HIV/AIDS policy that currently drives gay men not to get tested and/or treated increasing the spread of this pandemic....!!
their accent is english malaysian.
Name in inglish please!
Amazing. It is the ending. It is Paper. Great Performances. Truly powerful ending. And Still do not know what was on the Paper...Tears of Happiness? Tears of Sadness. Only the Director knows.
I am love this film
ahh makes sense, he could have been crying because he cheated on his BF. and he was so ashamed and didnt tell him and so embarassed etc
Its really a nice movie
wai kit got aids from his boyfriend? or another way round?
Welcome to my world....
This is reality.....as much as you love your bf ...use protection
as much as you love sex..use protection
As much as you want to have sex.....use protection
This is reality for gay or straight....
uuuh jimmy is sooo cute :3
