      A Single Man--Homosexual Films With Straight Male Faces

      Colin Shu obviously has a straight male face, but he can still make him (male) heart-warming when he plays homosexuality. His calmness, his elegance, and his dignity all show that he is a gentleman professor. Just such a gentleman, who just lost his beloved and couldn't even attend his lover's funeral. How painful his heart must be. The whole film uses color saturation to express the mood of the characters. At the...

      for the good things that have passed

      It's because I watched a movie I found after a random search last night, but the title of the movie is not my favorite style, and I felt a little lonely. I was afraid that I would get too deeply into the play and be infected by him.
          The first half of the film made me a little bored, but I was reluctant to let it go, so I continued watching it so entangled, the director put a lot of good things into the last day, and let the beauty of life and the beauty of life save the sadness...

      Single man:

      I don't want to live in the world if the world doesn't have time to be sad.

      Panic as if it were about to explode.

      The dumbest creatures are the happiest.

      You don't admit it every time you do something thoughtful.

      It's rude to be young now.

      We are absolutely sealed in the flesh.

      We Brits love cold and humidity.

      Alone, come and go as you please.

      I love this kind of film full of...

      Fashion industry erotic master film debut

      As Tom Ford's debut film, I still admire his ability to control, every shot is so clean and elegant, the clothes in the 1960s, the hairstyle, and the full range of gucci products appear in turn, it looks a bit fake, but so what!
       Fortunately, my dear uncle Firth finally stepped out of the shadow of mr.darcy, and I quite like this change. In the hands of Tom Ford, who is known as the most handsome and talented comrade in the fashion industry, Uncle Firth's old face turned out to be Become...

      Impeccable texture

      The protagonist is an old drama bone, and the supporting roles are all kinds of stunners. The gray loss and despair, the yellow warmth and sweetness, the blood red temptation and impulse, the just right sound of the violin slowly pulls the camera forward.
      Chic cufflinks, shiny leather shoes, white shirt, narrow tie, impeccable tailoring. Lamps, floors, fireplaces, bar counters, and wooden houses under the shade of trees all have textures that are only dreamed of in dreams.
      What kind...

      It was released in 2009 and I watched it no less than 20 times in three years. I went through my worst and my most difficult three years. The movie was not to meet me. And walked through that world full of beauty and death At least he gave me a good eye for good...

    Evaluation action

    Although the subject matter of the film is a bit kitsch, but in the end it shines brightly. Apart from the incomplete story, it is worth savoring and collecting. Director Ford is commendable for his skill in dealing with details that evoke emotional fluctuations. The details of the film to create the atmosphere of the 60s are perfectly designed. People can't help but admire Ford's pursuit of beauty, but Ford's requirements for...

    Movie quotes

    • George: Let's leave the Jews out of this just for a moment. Let's think of another minority. One that... One that can go unnoticed if it needs to. There are all sorts of minorities, blondes for example... Or people with freckles. But a minority is only thought of as one when it constitutes some kind of threat to the majority. A real threat or an imagined one. And therein lies the fear. If the minority is somehow invisible, then the fear is much greater. That fear is why the minority is persecuted. So, you see there always is a cause. The cause is fear. Minorities are just people. People like us.

    • Carlos: No one has ever picked me up and not wanted something.

      George: I think you picked me up. This is kind of a serious day for me.

      Carlos: Come on. What could be so serious for a guy like you?

      George: I'm just trying to get over an old love I guess.

      Carlos: My mother says that lovers are like buses. You just have to wait a little while and another one comes along.

    • George: You know that only thing that has made the whole thing worthwhile has been those few times that I was able to truly connect with another person.
