[font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000](Contains spoilers.) An independent gay indie film it might be, but The Toilers and the Wayfarers was really hard to watch. Even at just 76 minutes, I found myself hoping it was over all the way through. It was as if it were filmed in Germany, and the only exposure to American Culture was American TV or movies, as all the stereotypes were out in full force, as were homosexual/racial slurs. It was a nice first effort, I suppose, but so many scenes didnt mesh well with each other and apparently everyone speaks German. I guess thats good for the characters that either speak fluent German or only German. Personally, Ive only met a few people in my entire life that spoke German, and here, everyone on the street speaks it. (Another reason, it feels like it was filmed overseas and played off like it was America. The spoken English feels so, well dubbed.) It goes in so many directions, its hard to describe, but one story line (of many) involve a teen, Dieter (an Arch Hall, Jr. of MST3ks Eegah fame) defending his new German-immigrant friend, Udo, from everyone, including everyone who thinks hes gay, especially his newly outed best friend, Phillip. Phillips so obviously gay, Im surprised they didnt make Dieter blind as well as just a bad actor. Then, all of a sudden, Dieter himself is gay and Phillip is sick and abruptly abandoned. Maybe he has AIDS or just the flu, were never sure. (And still, Dieter sleeps with him, throwing caution to the wind sure he might have used a condom, but protection was never shown.) And story line #56, apparently, Udo is a wanted man for (???) reasons that mightve been in some deleted scenes. The movie was a mess and strongly un-recommended.[/color][/size][/font]

A moderately acted half German half American semi love story. The plot falls to the wayside due to bad scripting and even worse editing. Although interesting camera angles and the black and white tone-palette redeem it somewhat.

Like any other small budget / scale Indies, with hearts but also kinda raw.
