This is the second vertical AI BL drama I've sat through, and honestly I went in knowing better. I had it on while I was doing cardio at the gym, and what struck me was just how much the plot echoed the last one I watched. Same step brother romance angle, same mystery girlfriend showing up near the end, same extra guy pining after one of the leads. Genuinely the only thing going for it was the runtime, the whole thing wrapped up in forty five minutes flat. The setup kicks off with Finn moving schools because his mom just married into money. He finds out his new step brother Aiden goes to the same place, and he's warned to keep his distance from him. Their first run in at school is rocky, just like you'd expect, but there's this odd pull between them neither can shake off. Finn keeps telling himself not to read into it because Aiden's straight and openly homophobic. Things shift when some kids start bullying Finn and the student council president, Ryan, steps in to ...

Personally, I am not much into drag shows in person on TV and am likely one of the very few gays who has never seen Ru Paul's show, but one thing has been very clear to me is that doing drag is passion and people who it have my utmost regard and respect, It takes so much hard work, passion, makeup, artistry and creativity - Hats off! It is not easy to do it but looking at some of these behind the scenes makes me believe the true love that these artists have. (5/10)

Do you think you can help me by making a review of a mexican film I translated myself to english? If you find something that is too complicated or not easy to understand, can you tell it with me so I can fix it?
The movie is called "Las apariencias engañan" or Deceptive Appearances.
It's probably one of the first LGBT movies made in Mexico. It's from the same director of "Doña Herlinda and her son", so you can expect the same kind of movie, more like a "slice of life" than a big drama.
It was forbidden in Mexico due to censorship by the government for 5 years, done in 1978 but got a premiere in 1983.
It has only been available on a old vhs copy, but the director (who died in 2020) did a rescan himself from a the negative aprox in 2010, he shared with me a dvd copy and I upscaled the image with AI from that scan to HD.
Also I retouched the audio with AI, isolating all the voices, then scene by scene I had to level the voices and ambient sound so it can be clearer to understand in spanish.
The film never got english subtitles or an english release in any country, so I did the subtitles myself (with the help of google translate) but I would also like you to give me your thoughts on that since english is not my first language, I plan to share them in the future, but I want them to be good.
Hope you can help me and I would love to read your review of the movie, I hope you like it!
Can you send me and email so I can send you the link and the subs?
