Kai Luke Brummer in Moffie
We love a gay coming of age story, especially with an ultra-handsome cast. Today we travel to South Africa to look at Moffie, a war film that takes place in the 1980s when the country was swept up in the horrors of apartheid.
Director Oliver Hermanus effectively juxtaposes tender moments of connection and introspection against the brutal backdrop of military culture, and there is a lot of artfully shot nudity. Check out our fav moments after the NSFW jump!
Enjoy the highlights below and watch all the scenes here.
18-year-old Nicholas played by Kai Luke Brummer has to serve his mandatory time in the South African Army just as the conflict with the Angolan border is intensifying. Nicholas has a big secret and it’s not just that he has beautiful booty.
Nicholas thinks that he is gay, so he is very nervous about being in the army and having that secret exposed to everyone there. Meanwhile, he becomes very close with Stasen, played by Ryan de Villiers, and develops feelings for him. The good news is that the feeling might be mutual. Along the way, we get plenty of bare butt in this tear jerker, including that of both the leads.
We won’t spoil any of the drama for you, but you will love watching hot shirtless twinks shower together AND There just happens to be three, count them, three group shower scenes for your viewing!
1. BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOT ‘MINORITIES” AS THEY ARE THE MOST NUMERUS PEOPLE ON THE PLANET AND BEING THE ORIGINAL RACE.
2. WHITES ARE THE MINORITIES ONY MAKING UP %3-4 OF THE PLANET
3. THIS IS AFRICA….NOR EUROPE. AAGAIN WHITES ARE THE MINORITY
I loved this film when I saw it
Interesting, one of the few Africa-based movies to reach a wider audience, and not a single member of the majority Black population among the protagonists.
It’s an “covert” form of racism to produce primarily “period” or “historical” projects when minorities were excluded from general society. It’s like those who “love” period British dramas with all-White casts, versus those who can’t stand contemporary British programs with diverse casts (mainly Indics and Blacks).
Even Downton Abbey’s portrayal of Black and Jewish characters is so anachronistic that it smacks of tokenisms.
just go watch the bet channel. no one cares
Aw, that often seen species: the white gay in his natural habitat-an internet comment section.
This movie was set during the apartheid era. The Black population was segregated and not part of the South African army. (For the most part) How can you call the movie out for not being diverse enough when the limits of the era would make casting roles for Black folk impossible. Would you have Black actors playing White roles? Surely that would undermine the message of the movie? Even though this movie has everything to do with race and oppression your stance on the lack of Black cast members is mute, unnecessary and childish.
This movie is great. Its an insight to how there were other minorities that had no rights in that era too – how far oppression reached and the consequences of it.
Three shower scenes and no dick? Has anyone seen it? If so, how is the movie (not just the nudity)?
I highly recommend this movie, it really is an incredibly accurate portrayal of live in the apartheid-era South African military, for the conscripts… this was my life for 2 years, and anything you see is as it was. Terribly harsh and homophobic!
