      i love you maurice

      The gay comedy starring Jim Carrey and Iwan was adapted from a true story. I was shocked to see such a ridiculous story at the end. Is it a true story? It is a hundred times more exciting than the countless BL novels I have read.

      I didn't expect these two straight men to play gay so well, especially Ivan's Xiaoshou, the gestures are all cute, the plot is very compact and attractive, the point is that I saw it in such a comedy atmosphere True love, the love between these two men....

      Very touching, some details in the film are really tear-jerking

      Ewan's acting skills make people exclaim: what he does is what he does! After watching an interview starring in this film, Ewan sincerely said that he did not want his performance to be based on the stereotypical perception of gay boys in the world. I really admire his attention to detail and his courage to play the gay character as a heterosexual.

      While this isn't his first foray into same-sex movies, I think it's the best he's done. Phillip Morris, in McGregor's interpretation, is...

      I Love You Phillip Morris 2009

      Although it is based on true events, the plot of this movie is quite exaggerated. Selfishness prefers a bland and a little shocking style, but this kind of exaggeration is another way of expressing it, so I can't say it's bad.

      Like Ivan said, it's not hard to think of yourself as a woman and play gay. I have always felt that if you just focus on the love itself and don't care about the genders of the two protagonists, watching calcium movies is just like watching ordinary movies....

      I Love You Phillip Morris Reflections

      I jot down some random thoughts as I watched, and here are the trivial details:

      Steven looks ugly when he plays the piano, like when he is conceited; handsome when he makes love, like when he is happy.
       
      When the long-repressed "I" spews out, the tragedy of contradiction between the individual and the social system begins.

      Vibrant neuroticism, if nothing (such as works) is left behind, it will bring harm to the normal life around it. (Heidegger: solitude is an...

      I didn't expect it to be so good-looking. I thought it was a pure love gay movie, but it turned out to be a very gay black humor. Russell's true story is much cooler, but there's a lot of essence left after the film's pick and choose, and the script and pacing are superbly...

      I love you. I have never stopped loving you. You are the most amazing man. You take my breath away. Even I can't be with you right now. But I'll always be yours. Forever. If you have to go , go. I'll be right there....

    Movie plot

    If it weren't for that damn car accident, Steven Russell might never let others know that he likes men. Although he has a beautiful wife, lovely children, and a decent police job, he still gave up all this. Of course, his job as a policeman was not voluntary, but because of his childhood experience-he was an adopted child, and he was a policeman to steal household registration information so that he could find his own parents. But...

    Movie quotes

    • Steven Russell: Love sure is a funny thing. Makes you happy, makes you sad, makes you do all sorts of things you never thought you'd do before. In fact, love's the reason I'm laying here dying.

    • Steven Russell: Phillip...

      Phillip Morris: Don't.

      Steven Russell: I love you.

      Phillip Morris: From the moment we met, you've done nothin' but lie. Our whole relationship, just lies. I'm such an asshole. You took advantage of me, just like all the others. You were supposed to protect me, but you just did nothing but make a fool out of me. And you expect me to love you? How can I? How can I love you? I don't even know who you are. And you know what's sad? I don't even think you know who you are, so how am I supposed to love someone that don't even exist? You tell me.

      Officer: Morris, you're up.

      Phillip Morris: I'll never forgive you Steven. Never!

    • Phillip Morris: You fucker!

      Steven Russell: I know. I'm sorry. You weren't supposed to find out.

      Phillip Morris: Well, I did.

      Steven Russell: I couldn't take a chance telling you. You know that. I couldn't. But, Phillip, I only did it just so I could get here to you. I did it so I could talk again. And here I am.

      Phillip Morris: You're so skinny.

      Steven Russell: I'm fine. Just hungry.

      Phillip Morris: Steven, I don't...

      Steven Russell: Wait, listen. I just came here to tell you one thing, and that's it. You don't have to take me back. I just want to say one thing. I know you think that we were nothing but a lie, but underneath all those lies, there was always something that was real. I thought about what you said to me. You said you don't know who I am, but I know now. I know who I am. I'm not a lawyer, I'm not a CFO, I'm not a cop, I'm not some kind of escape artist. Those Steven Russells are dead. Now all that's left is the man that loves you. And if you could see that, believe it, I promise I'll never be anything else ever again.

      Phillip Morris: How do I know you're not bullshitting me again?

      Steven Russell: You don't.
