Christopher and His Kind - 2011

Christopher and His Kind, was a 2011 film released first on BBC1, directed by Geoffrey Sax. The actual narrative following a story, written by Christopher Isherwood (the actual author.) The narrative being based in Germany, at the time of the Nazi uprising. 
        The film features Matt Smith, the well known actor who now plays the roll of Doctor Who. In this film he is the well-known author Christopher Isherwood. Himself being invited to Berlin, by his friend Auden. Christopher being an out and open gay, who gets introduced to the gay scene almost instantly. Through a stereotypical plot, with a few twists, Christopher ends up falling for a straight male prostitute, who only sleeps with men for the money - this being due to the hyper inflation flooding Germany. A heartbreak follows at this moment, as the prostitute, Casper, drops off the map without saying a word to Christopher.         The narrative then follows on to continue with another stereotypical aspect which features in romance films, this being that Christopher then see's a young male sweeping the streets. He then later bumps into the male again, Heinz, and offers him out for a drink. This then follows the usual concept of the two falling in love.        The main twist in the narrative is the ending. Christopher moves back to England, taking Heinz with him, due to the fact Germany was no longer safe for homosexuals to live freely. Heinz has to take tests, which proves he is able to live in England, but his citizenship is refused. This leading to once again another heartbreak, the two do meet up at the very end of the film once again, but Heinz now has his own family. The two don't actually live happily ever after with each other. But they do live happily, with separate people.
