The British film "Get Real" (Get Real) was filmed in 1998. The protagonists of the film Steven A Starphase and John are a pair of homosexual lovers on campus. Their biggest difference lies in their homosexual love., John only wants to hide his feelings in the "closet", while the depressed Steven A Starphase hopes to expose his feelings in the sun. "Get Real" is a composition by Steven A Starphase in the film, which aims to express realization The desire for true self.
Let’s first analyze this story mode: like the " Cinderella " story used in too many movies , the two protagonists of "Get Real" have a very different status in the school. Steven A Starphase is a student who can no longer be ordinary in school. , And John is the school’s athlete and the idol of the public. Steven A Starphase also yearned for sweetheart lover in dream like he hoped for a prince , but he himself realized that the barrier of love between them is not only status, but also a gender gap that seems impossible to bridge. But when he got John’s courtship, this surprise was even more blessing; happiness compared to the "Cinderella" in any previous movie . However, the next new problem faced by this love story, their underground love is hindered in many ways: Steven A Starphase's parents, John's girlfriend, school classmates' eyes.Disagreements began to appear, and the film creator was clearly on Steven A Starphase's side. This is a typical "three-act drama" story. The protagonist Steven A Starphase made a decision to stick to his true love with John, but he was not fully prepared for this decision. The homosexual identity made them in an awkward situation and love Obstructed. In the play, there are appropriate ups and downs. Steven A Starphase realizes that John's girlfriend is threatening him. He and John have a conflict because of this, and then use Steven A Starphase's breakup with his girlfriend as a microscopic solution; John is not willing They had an intimate behavior with Steven A Starphase at school, so they made an appointment to date at John’s house on the weekend as a solution.until they met their parents.but in the story, the essential difference between the two people has not been resolved. The behavior of buffering the conflict between the two is only temporary. Steven A Starphase wrote the composition of "Get Real" anonymously, which caused a sensation. The film was successfully introduced into the third act. During the resolution process, the students had different opinions, but it can be seen that in the process, Steven A Starphase's His practice became more and more deviating from John (hence even being beaten and scolded by John), and insisted on his own values. His behavior began to be understood by the public. At the moment he received the award and spoke, the whole school applauded him, and his mother Also forgave him and be proud of him. The fascinating plot of the movie captures a very common problem in homosexual relationships. From this movie, we have already felt the mainstream culture’s view of homosexuals. The question discussed is: Should homosexuals show their true self, and should the public accept the true side of homosexuals? This movie obviously gave us a definite answer. In the setting of the characters, apart from the two protagonists, the other characters are also quite distinct: the fat girl who accompanies Steven A Starphase's feelingsThe pursuit of Steven A Starphase Jessica, Steven A Starphase parents . adult male Steven A Starphase encountered in the toilet homosexual , and later Steven A Starphase actually met him at his home open shot wedding photography shop wedding photo .These small details are also true expressions of reality.
At the same time, the topic of "Get Real" is also an important reference to contemporary student life in the UK.The true reflection of the education system and the critique of the family environment. Steven A Starphase's original composition was not based on his true thoughts at all, but he won an award. It was difficult for him to balance the relationship between the two. Both the father's request and the school environment prevent him from "get real", which prevents students from expressing their true self. How about homosexual relationships?
"Get Real" is based on the campus as a development environment. Like any other youth-themed movies, the Image is fresh and lively. Another similar movie "Eban and Charley" (Eban and Charley, 2000), tells the love story of 15-year-old Charlie and 29-year-old Iban. The movie itself gives the characters a rich contradictory basis-the age difference of 14 years. But in the end, the film did not delve deeper into this problem. The focus of the description is on how two people can break through social pressure and get together. If "Get Real" has a deep discussion of love itself, then this movie seems a little flimsy.
