      Are you a politician? Are you a reporter?

      "No—you're just a man who washes dirty clothes."

      All are tragic contrasts: material and spirit, wealth and poverty, reason and fanaticism, foreigners and fellows, friends and lovers, lovers and new lovers, lovers and deceased lovers...

      One side is so desolate, the other side is rich and fascinated. I can't help thinking: Is it worth it to stick to it? As a local, Johnny was also down and down and lived secretly in an abandoned...

      I have only love for you

      The sound of bubbles interspersed in it, so God
      loves you; not because of your class, not because of your identity, but just for your true nature! ! !
      Because I love you,
      I am willing to do anything for you. Because I love each other, I understand my heart and understand it, a

      rare interpersonal movie that has no suspicion and no scheming.
      Dan is too handsome, the light is too dazzling, and the protagonist is suppressed. Thirty years later, he is still the emperor...

      Dream

      Whose fault is it.

        Maybe everything is reasonable, just like the existence of the world.

        There is no reason, there is no right or wrong.

        Then class, sexual orientation, rich and poor, knowledge, everything is reasonable, and equal mutual mockery and mutual spurning.

        Struggling to escape, but crawling from an abyss to a darker hell.

        Creeping, in front of this life.

        In front of this body with too much desire.

        We...

      The unfinished end

      Not to mention that wonderful neck licking, I nominate Lewis for another high-profile moment in this film. When Tania left, he went to the laundry to find Johnny. After Johnny refused her, he asked "Have you ever touch him?". The feeling when he said this, the kind of subtle temptation, showing off, and declaring sovereignty. It feels so handsome, I love it so much! Tania had a cold face at the time, I came to elope with you, but you showed off your love with my fiance (although it...

      I love you just because it's you

      Classic works of DANIEL DAY LEWIS. Looking at the light-hearted comedy sketches, I heard the sweet British accent again. The young DDL (playing as JOHNNY) is really beautiful, with a small piece of blue paint on his face and still busy with the sun. For their laundry, Johnny went to sell drugs stolen by OMO, and even went into the house with him to steal. This kind of fighting friendship is very logically transformed into love. Beautiful people are privileged, not to mention that JONHNNY first...

      Do you want to be an acting male god? Go play gay, the scene of Daniel Day-Lewis licking her boyfriend's neck makes the audience feel numb all over, and can easily enter the most classic flirting scene in film history. Powerful, topical and explosive racial issues and same-sex elements, in the end it was a sweet comedy ending. The problems were all given, but the result was to avoid the importance and stop it. Fortunately, I was looking at how tender DDL is....

      When the two met again on the street, it was obvious that their friendship had surpassed their friendship during their school days. Compared to racial prejudice and the class divide, sexual orientation is clearly a minor issue in corrupt countries. I couldn't appreciate the gloomy "tough guy" face of the actor before, this gay role made me see the sexy and tender side of young DDL for the first...

      In the face of clan, culture, race, class, political position, love is easy, rare and fragile. (The language of the lens is beautiful, the story line is intermittent, and the ending is a beautiful virtual...

      Where is this comedy? It's obviously about immigration, and it's very politicized. About the inheritance of immigrant families in foreign cultures. At the end of the film, the life in a foreign land makes them love and hate, and their children must try their best to escape the cultural genes that come from the depths of their bodies. No matter how well the two old men played, they couldn't hide Lewis' limelight. That stubborn, arrogant, vulgar, dirty, and unusually beautiful and gentle face...

    Background creation

    In the mid-1980s, when gay movies were not so widespread, this low-key film that mixed racial and gay issues had attracted considerable attention in the international film scene. Actor Daniel Day Lewis became famous in one fell swoop. The script comes from the handwriting of the Pakistani playwright Hangul Kushshi, who lives in the UK. It has a clear theme and a unique observation of contemporary British social conditions. Director...

    Movie quotes

    • Omar: It took you a while to get onto us.

      Salim: Wanted to see what you'd do. How's your Papa? So many books written and read. Politicians sought him out. Bhutto was his close friend. But we're nothing in England without money.

    • Papa: This damn country has done us in. That's why I'm like this. We should be there. Home.

      Nasser: But that country's been sodomised by religion. It's beginning to interfere with the making of money. Compared with everywhere... it's a little heaven, here.

    • Johnny: We'll just have to do a job to get the money.

      Omar: I don't want you going back to all that!

      Johnny: Just to get us through, Omo. We're going to go on. You want that, don't you?

      Omar: Yeah. I want you.
