After the films with Richard Harmon, I thought I would never see more films with such an abundance of languid male faces in the frame. Well, of course, I was wrong. Meet "Like minds", where TWO young men at once will drive crazy lovers of parted lips and distant looks, in which romantic thoughts about something bright and beautiful are read. Meet the main characters of the film:
The first young woman, Alex, studies at a strict school for boys, making hooligan outings with friends at night, and during school hours, delighting the venerable old man with impeccable academic performance. And everything would be fine until a second young man is added to him - a newcomer repulsive with his gloom, carried away by anatomy and taxidermism. As it turns out later, he also has another, the strangest obsession. By chance, their destinies turn out to be connected, even more strongly than it seems at first. What is shown in the film is true and what is not - it's up to the viewer to decide.
It seems to me that the film, despite all its gloomy atmosphere, is more "girly". Seriously, I have never seen so many homosexual allusions in a heterosexual film. The characters look at each other the way I don't look at my favorite poppy seed buns! They have connections and everything...
The acting is to be commended. Not only the languid faces of Eddie Redmayne and Tom Sturridge. They managed to betray such a strange connection between their characters, which was manifested in all their gestures and these same views ... I also liked the heroine Toni Collette.

At my philological faculty, I am an unknown little animal, which should not exist in nature. A philologist who does not like classical literature.
How can you not love literature, you philologist!
Yes, very simple. It is unpleasant for me to read the absolute majority of the works of Russian classics, which tell about five hundred pages about how bad everything is. It does not give me pleasure to watch how heroes far from me, like Alpha Centauri, experience the same distant and incomprehensible emotions. I don’t like the types of a century and a half ago, and I am very glad that I live now, and not in that time. In addition, I believe that reading this very classic does not bring almost any practical benefit, since there is little that can help in real life.
And I'm not saying that literature is bad. That's great if you're interested - I'm really happy for you. And I don't like it.
What are you doing in philology then?
I do not know why this does not immediately occur to young philologists, but the philological faculty is not only literature. It's also languages. But I do love linguistics. Since the seventh grade, I wanted to study Russian (without literature to boot). I managed to do this only in the magistracy.
But not even individuals who sometimes ask stupid questions are zadolbali. I'm sick of this stereotype about Russian-language-and-literature. That these two specialties should always be inextricably linked, that one is by no means impossible to study without the other. All right, when people think so, they are far from philology. But you, colleagues who have studied all this themselves and who are aware of how far Turgenev's work is from the syntax of modern colloquial speech?
A linguist and a literary critic treat each other approximately like a system administrator and a programmer. Both computer scientists, but they are rarely combined in one person, and usually no one requires system administrators to write programs, and programmers to set up networks and raise servers. And even more so, no one obliges them to love something other than their field of activity.
Let's do the same with language and literature, shall we? And we will be happy.
My tastes are very specific - a phrase from the movie "50 Shades of Grey", as well as a four-panel comic book of the same name, which plays off an episode from the movie.
Origin
Fifty Shades of Gray is a movie released in February 2015. Based on the novel of the same name. According to the plot, a modest student meets a rich guy and later learns about his secret sexual hobbies. The episode in which Gray introduces Anastacia to his "tastes" became a meme.
Meaning
The meme exists in three forms. The first is the phrase "My tastes are very specific." In the film, she meant the sexual addictions of the hero, but entered the people as a confession to any oddities.
The second form is a four-panel comic. Three pictures show frames from the film and the dialogue of the characters. In the first frame, Gray says, “My tastes are very specific. You won’t understand, ”then comes Anastacia’s request to “initiate her into them” or “open up to her.” Next, a picture is substituted that is not related to the tape, but is suitable in meaning. The comic ends with the reaction of the girl: "Sick bastard."
And the third meme is the video itself from the movie. After the release of 50 Shades, YouTube began to appear videos that begin the same way as in the comics, but break off with something unexpected.
