      Is it just gay movies?

      The school has free projection viewings every weekend. They are all good movies. I watched them all without a second thought. One weekend, BH released this legendary gay movie. I usually go with my roommates. We went anyway, and we didn’t know what was on. We didn’t even know what movie this was at first. Looking at it, I was shocked. There seem to be some outstanding scenes in the film, but it seems that everyone has persevered and no one has left the scene. When I came back, my roommate...

      silence

      The crying game is basically a great feeling after reading it.
      At that time, that character reflected that people basically had no freedom.
      There are always a lot of organizations to control people's thoughts.
      I watched it a long time ago, and I don't remember how it felt at that time.
      I just think it's very flavorful, this movie.

      On another level, it also reflects that
      love really has no borders, no age, even if it is afraid of other differences.
      No...

      Two GAY films that cannot be called GAY films.




      I remember when I was still studying at LEICESTER, ANNA asked me how to define "gay movie". Because, in gay film critics, there is indeed no clear definition of it. But in my opinion, neither of these films can be called "gay films" anyway.

      Although in "THE CRYING GAME", there is Dil, who is a man and a charming woman, and Fergus' love and misunderstanding of her; although in "MAURICE", Clive and Maurice have a period of love but not love, friendship and friendship. The...

      Is it really a man?

      Jimmy's stubbornness

      is Dill's man,

      isn't

      it, it's disillusionment , and even the feelings are pale

      in the context of politics. Eddie's girlfriend is like a belief to him, so he came and tried to associate with it but Gender doesn't come at the right time . Just when he thought he was deeply in love with this girl, he experienced a moment of disillusionment. The disappearance of the goddess made him unable to face the sin of killing or indirectly killing...

      Two frogs

      A very delicate movie, I still think Fergus and Jodi in the glass studio are the most core part of this movie. Here laid the theme of the whole movie, the kindness in human nature. The story of the frog and the scorpion is placed in this movie, which has a kind of props throughout, always emphasizing the soul of the movie.

      The film has a good sense of rhythm, very delicate and gentle like water. Even the shots and explosions showed a touch of warmth. "The kindness of human nature",...

      The plot is difficult to infect me from all aspects, and even a little bit confused. The first half of the story of the male protagonist and the soldier is bland, and the second half of the Northern Irish Republican Army and the male protagonist's personal feelings are also very different. Only the cross-dressing Beyonce is the bright spot, but it's not bright enough to be...

      The main body of the whole film is the implication of the story of the frog and the scorpion. Human nature and human nature have created such a Fergus and created such a story....

      How should I put it, I felt a little embarrassed + shameful when it first came out as a gay movie. But then I was still gradually moved by the love derived from that instinctive kindness, and then I checked history, and was even more shocked by the feelings generated under the envelope of the political situation of this...

      The love story of two men and two "women" entangled to death. Fortunately, after experiencing the pain caused by the war, someone always came together. Although it is not a real reunion, reconciliation is probably the wish of the two countries. The "heroine" is amazing and can be called the best pseudo-mother. The scene showing the real body is estimated to shock many people. Sure enough, it was found in the gay bar, without any modification. The male protagonist looks a bit like sleeping...

    Movie quotes

    • Jude: What do you think of the hair?

      Fergus: It suits you.

      Jude: Aye. I was sick of being a blonde. I needed a tougher look, and you know what I mean.

    • Jody: You can't just let me loose.

      Fergus: Why can't we?

      Jody: Not in your nature.

      Fergus: What do you know about my nature?

      Jody: I'm talking about your people, not you.

      Fergus: What the fuck do you know about my people?

      Jody: Only that you're all tough, undeluded motherfuckers. And that it's not in your nature to let me go!

      Fergus: Shut the fuck up, would you.

    • Jude: Hello stranger.
