    Wow I don't like this one at all as much as Brokeback Mountain. The rhythm and narrative angle, atmosphere and mood are very similar to the failed version of the American drama enlightened: because it is too fragmented. Perhaps the director and screenwriter were too familiar with these characters and could not capture their character and emotion, so they could only become such a commemorative poem in the...

    The typical American middle-class fun is smart, sad and sweet. Graphic design artist Oliver's father declared himself gay at the age of 75 and started having a boyfriend, only to die soon after. Oliver meets French actress Anna, and the two rethink their loneliness, escape and trauma in their relationship. Arthur the puppy is a great show-stopper. The editing is skillful and free to switch between different...

    Maybe everyone wants to meet "tiger", but in the end there is only "giraffe". The hopelessness of love and eternity may just be because I haven't met the...

    A terminally ill old gay who wants to fall in love again. A melancholy middle-aged man who doesn't believe in marriage and doesn't know how to love. Old photos and monologues are very literary. The pace is slow and gentle with depression. Fragments of Oliver's life with his mother as a child. Oliver's life with his father who started cheating a few months before his death. A clip of Oliver in love with a strange French girl. It's all saying that we are all beginners when it comes to living in...

    A tepid and quietly narrated story, my father's coming out of the closet before his death, my mother's spirituality, the weirdness of my girlfriend now, and my loneliness. The veiledness and cowardice of the heart expressed by the body language seem to resonate more. That kind of escape and non-recognition, denial of reality, insecurities, are all tricks of the faint of heart. A lot of...

    "You make me laugh, but it's not funny." A tepid, small-scale movie, which doesn't seem to describe a story, but a one-man show exclusively for Ewan. In the path of life, who of us are not beginners in love?...

    To get light in, you have to open the door.

    Last night, when I read the recent works of my favorite author, who arranged the people and things around me into the newly published novels, my relatives and friends protested one after another. "Mythical love will have to break one day." From silent generation, writers should write about people,...

    The second growth of the only child

    After watching the autobiographical movie Beginners, I was still a little touched. The script is almost adapted from the personal experience of director Mike Mills.

    Oliver's parents are absolutely non-mainstream: his father knew he was gay since he was 13 years old, and his mother only knew that he...
