Can You Guess Where From Beginning To End Is Going?
Tipster Chris sent this trailer for the new Brazilian film From Beginning To End with only the description "The subject matter is extremely taboo." And he was right! Better to not explain further, but it looks like an interesting, sad movie:
I know that this movie (appears to be) a non-judgmental exploration of a heartbreaking human anomaly, but my first reaction to this trailer is "I totally want to get some friends together to go see this without telling them what it's about first." It seems like we have one of these every couple of years. (Previously: Savage Grace: More Like Savage Gross.)

This is such a gay porn plot.
Score = 5
One time, when I was 15, my friends wanted to watch porn but couldn't decide between two titles. I got to choose which one we watched. It was between a pirate one or one called "Weekend at my Brother's."
Point being, you are correct.
Score = 2
Is it that they die?
Score = 1
Uh, that's not just a "human anomaly." That's fucked up.
Score = 19
I know. The word 'anomaly' totally threw me. Between that and the swimming bit, I expected one of them to have flippers instead of feet. That wouldn't have been as sexy as what it really turned out to be, though (if the actors aren't related, it's okay for me to be turned on--at least that's what I'm telling myself).
Score = 18
i also expected flippers, and i must say that i am disappointed.
Score = 4
As I usually say: for people, incest is hot... in other people's families. So stop torturing yourself about it.
Score = 0
:S
Score = 4
Woof. I heard the American working title was "My Brother's Keeper".
Score = 5
If this is true... man, the devil is gonna be pissed.
Score = 12
Oops I'm a lemming, but I will watch anything that Yann Tiersen scores.
Score = 3
Les Cousins Dangereux?
Score = 47
dammit, you beat me to the Les Brothers Dangereux joke.
Score = 20
I like the way they think...
Score = 28
Les Freres Dangereux
Score = 18
I think I'd watch this legitimately, like any other movie. Is something wrong with me?
Score = 13
This reminds me of when I was in high school. My friend received (as a joke) an erotic incest book for his birthday and we took turns reading the stories out loud to each other just to see who could laugh last. Anyway, this movie looks gross.
Score = 12
Right. Just to see who could "laugh" last.
Score = 3
If you're going to make a gay incest movie, please don't make the adult brothers so goddamned attractive; that's all I ask. How am I supposed to mindlessly judge when I'm a little into all the shirtlessness?
Score = 54
Exactly, maybe if they were ugly or average I could take this movie seriously, but DAMN.
I also briefly entertained the idea of taking one of my siblings to see this just because their disgust with me would be pretty funny. However I wouldn't be able to speak to them ever again because, really, it's just too much for me. I would make like Lindsay and take some straight friends and tell them it's about two gay Olympic swimmers or something, or I would go by myself or with one of my gay friends so we could talk about wrong it is to find these two so goddamn attractive.
Score = 6
I'm definitely taking my gay friend, and he definitely already said he doesn't even care if they're brothers in real life--we can not pass this up. I agree wholeheartedly. I've changed my original thought and I now feel like, if you ARE going to push incest as an ideology, a really good way to do it is with hotness.
Score = 9
Hah. I think I'm going to take him and be like, "Oh we're going to see this little artsy porno film. I think it's about two gay Olympic swimmers." And I'll just let the incest part be a fun surprise and deny any prior knowledge of it.
Score = 2
DO NOT take one of your siblings. They might think that you are suggesting something and take you up on your offer.
Score = 6
I knowwwwwww the whole time watching that trailer I was like "ooh yay sexy boys NO NO THEY'RE BROTHERS but it's pretend O NOES"
Score = 4
Not the part with the little boys. The adult boys. Sarah Palin ain't no perv.
Score = 8
Wouldn't that be a real film taboo. Making a film about UGLY gay brothers...? Or even just ugly gay men who are not related but still naked a lot of the time?
Score = 19
Well, I don't want to jump to conclusions and I certainly didn't see it, but wasn't that basically the premise of that Kevin James movie? (I am, of course, referring to any movie with Kevin James in it.)
Score = 5
No, because Kevin James is a scorching hot piece of man candy.
Score = 3
Team Double Dog: Lindsay has to procure a few meatheads and trick them into seeing this movie, whilst there Gabe leers at them the whole time and makes innaopropriate noises & gestures. Whoever kicks them in the balls & escapes the theater first wins!
Score = 22
Well, this looks like a film for the familiy.
*rimshot*
Score = 18
Is it wrong that the "rimshot" kind of threw me for a second, if you know what I mean?
Score = 17
Gay porn with a bigger budget, better acting, and feelings. It's really all I'm looking for in a film.
Score = 14
As I wrote in my e-mail, I'm actually quite intrigued to see how a story like this will be handled. Recalling the "controversy" that Brokeback Mountain spurred in America, I can only imagine where this could be headed, assuming it ever gets international publicity. (It won't.)
Score = 2
Also, as innappropriate as it feels to laugh at the end of that trailer, the second-to-last line of dialog (3:55) makes me think of a certain viral video.
Score = 11
Incest is okay as long as everyone involved is REALLY ATTRACTIVE
Score = 29
Everything is okay if you're attractive.
Score = 7
"I totally want to get some friends together to go see this without telling them what it's about first." LMAO. but--wow. the more the trailer (and that music!) went on, the more i was just riveted to it. is it wrong that a fucking trailer can do that?? i'll clearly expect more from the remaining Transformers trailers from now on.
Score = 11
Seriously I only had to look at the screen shot and read the word taboo and I knew what it was about.
Score = 2
And now any Yann Tiersen score is ruined... Good bye Lenin :-(
Score = -5
Hello my new favorite movie of all time!
Score = 8
YANN TIERSEN I LOVE YOU
That's all.
Score = 4
The "brotherly love" at the end just made me vomit through my eyes.
Score = -1
Why did they have to make the adult actors so hot whyyyyyyyyy
Score = 1
It's too bad they're gay because if they were oposite (Thank you, Carrie Prejean) incest enthusiasts they could have had themselves a little flipper baby and really worked that 'good at swimming' angle.
Score = 7
What up, The (Brazilian) Dreamers! Except, you know, seemingly interesting and free of that turd Michael Pitt.
Score = 5
HOLD THE F*CK UP! Michael Pitt was hot in The Dreamers - and Louis Garrel is amazing in everything.
also - the brother and sister didn't DO IT in that movie... he kind of vicariously did it with his sister via Michael's Pitt's penis.
it was more emotional incest than anything.
super creepy - somehow pitt and garrel (who i hoped the entire time would get it on) made it hot.
I'm going to relax, "technojeremy" now because I've officially defended an incest movie on the world wide web.
:(
Score = 8
Michael Pitt is your boyfriend (and you like it, ew).
Score = 2
Looks like they just stole "Summer 78" from Good Bye, Lenin for this trailer... Pretty sure Yann Tiersen didn't actually score this film.
Score = 0
Glad to see Jim Caveziel is working.
Score = 2
Uh, you win
Score = 0
This is actually just viral marketing for the Arrested Development movie.
Score = 10
I'm always encouraging my gay friends to date their relatives. It's not like their babies will have genetic problems. No takers. Yet!
Score = 3
Pair this up with 'Spanking the Monkey' and you pretty much have the next Videogum Double Feature.
Score = 0
I've read/watched some incest stuff before and I'm able to do so objectively, but whenever I do, I can feel giant steel walls going up in my brain separating the incest reading/hentai from any thoughts about my family. no no. no no no.
Score = 1
am i the only one to think that the older brother looks a little like Gabe?
Score = 0
Is this film for real? Are there any plans on distributing it in America? I don't see this film making it to America because it is a foreign language film that deals with a subject that grosses out about 90% of the country.
I am a big time cinema goer. The real hardcore movie lovers will sit through a foreign film with subtitles. There are not very many of us to begin with. Add in the subject matter of this film and the ranks quickly thin.
On a totally different note, maybe this sort of thing is common enough in Brazil.
Score = 0
As I usually say: for people, incest is hot... in other people's families. So stop torturing yourself about it.
