      The experience needs to be narrated, the story needs to be ups and downs, what is your ending, the rhythm is still a short board

      Sadism, violent tendencies and the loss of a loved one, these two seek each other for what they need to make up for what they have lost. Dolan's character relationships in this movie are interesting, but the lines are as weak as ever.
          The tone of the film is not too accurate, or a little mixed. Sometimes there is always the feeling that there is a strange rhythm mixed in with the narrative experience that pulls the film to the other end, the dramatic and the artificial, thereby...

      just write

      1. I like two lines very much. One is at the beginning, Tom's monologue after losing his lover. I think it is the best love story. The other is the dancing scene, when Francis told Tom about his mother
      2. I like the rhythm of the film very much, and the speed is appropriate
      3. The tone is literary and artistic
      4. In addition, there are some insights that love can bring happiness and harmony. Meaning, but it can also become a kind of imprisonment. Like Francis and his mother, he...

      Finding the balance of emotional game in danger

      cut

      I really like the abrupt ending of Tom's farm trip. When I first entered the film, I saw a large close-up shot of handwriting. The soft moans of writing and dictation were magnified, allowing the audience to feel the feeling of speaking on the opposite side. After writing the last word "replace you", all the sounds stopped abruptly, the screen jumped, and it was neat and tidy, grabbing the audience's heart all at once, allowing the audience to enter the world created by...

      erotic confrontation

      Obscurely, Tom's obedience and love for Francis, Francis' disgust with the status quo, and Tom's disgust and attraction, all constitute the direction of the film. I have to say that as the plot goes on, there are always times when I can't figure it out. Tom may have always had a seed like sm in his heart, surrendering to violence and speaking for Francis and threatening Sarah, this is probably the biggest turning point. Fortunately, in the end, Tom left, Francis' violent threat and the...

      Every action is informative and everything surrounding it is thorough. Not love, but the multi-faceted humanity in "love". Stimulate deduction, using action as the unit of information. The director is also the audience of the story, not the story itself

      It is not discussing what is love, what is love, etc., but it is showing that people revolve around "love", and under the nature of "love", it also combines ideology, discourse, power, selfishness and self-love. Waiting for human nature itself to feel the driving force of thinking, such a complex human state and action. (Actually, he likes his younger brother at all, so he wants to possess and destroy everything that the younger brother he left has had. He loves his mother, but...

      Projected love vs violent fear, urban void vs farm reality. The former runs through the whole film, but it is disturbing because of the jumping rhythm (but I couldn't help being attracted by my brother's great performance); the latter occasionally mentions the ending of the film, and the length can be ignored. It's still a distinct Dolan style, but this time the handling is not lovable, and the performance is more and more far-fetched than the previous one. But who made him Dolan, gotta...

      Too narcissistic, Tom's hairstyle really can't fit. But Dolan's music is good every step of the...

      I don't know why this kind of curiosity and horror always reminds me of Ou Rong's "Provocative Murder". People who fell down in the cornfield, pressed against the wall and strangled their necks, etc., watched the sexual innuendo and tension of the few scenes, the blood was bursting,...

      That dance was really good, but the violence really disgusted me. The costumes are also chosen by the director himself. Although it is really good, it is really...

      I tried to force a very simple story to tell... It turns out that changing the frame is available here, and it's okay. I feel that only the cornfield scene is good, but the effect is not good if it is too much. Dolan said this time last year, "It can only be said that Tom's Farm Trip is not my favorite." . . He can admit to being so narcissistic (although he took it back today), I can only...

    Movie plot

    The protagonist of the film Tom ( Xavier Dolan ) rushes to the country where his boyfriend's family is located to attend the funeral because of his boyfriend's unexpected death. On the weathered rustic farm, Tom discovered how his boyfriend Guillaume’s family could not accept the existence of homosexuality, and did not even know his relationship with Guillaume. The only known Guillaume’s brother Francis (Pierre-Yves Cardinal) was full...

    Positive review

    The film is full of temptations of sadness, violence, homosexuality, and blurred boundaries. The story in the film is a complete journey with beginning and end, but outside the film, what the director wants to express is an indefinable and vague psychological and emotional state. Human emotions often have too many ignorant states. Director Xavier Dolan did not try to find the reason, only willing to express this reality. As a...

    • Francis: Next time you run off, try to go for the soy bean field. It's October & the corn cuts like a knife.

    • Tom: And why doesn't anybody talk to you?

      Francis: I don't care about people, so people don't care about me, you know.

    • Agathe: Why did my son stop visiting? Why didn't he call or write anymore? What kind of accident was it? Who was he with? How did it happen? Where? When? Nobody dies at twenty-five! No one!
