      The pattern is too small to be a climate

      The beginning of the film specifically mentions two years: 1969 (the heroine was 14 years old) and 1973 (the heroine was admitted to university).

      In 1969, Americans landed on the moon, New York's gays and lesbians created massive riots at Stonewall bars ( Stonewall 2015 ), anti-Vietnam War marches continued throughout the U.S., and hormonally high young men in...

      Don't be influenced by movie reviews

      When watching gay movies, don't read those bitchy gay guy comments, it will instantly ruin your vision for a movie

      It's not something you've experienced. Being made into a movie by someone else makes this movie "old-fashioned"

      Chinese people always feel that American movies are warm and complete, and they don't like this process of "self-identification and self-rescue". They always like to watch some themes that talk about human nature,...

      gay movies in history

      The protagonist as the first point of view is not actually gay, so the perspective of this film is novel and unique, looking at the life of my uncle from the perspective of a niece. It reflects the new tolerance for things of the youthful young generation in the United States.

      Many films like to tell subtle individual stories against a grand background, and this film is no exception. From the eyes of a small town girl, it shows the progress and changes of...

      Love the old days.

      The 4 stars look very good. I used to watch gay films to attract attention with big gimmicks, the background of the era of right and wrong, the love-hate torture of life and death, and the strong criticism of secular traditions, etc., but this one is like Watch a strong old-time story, with retro pictures and retro styles. It's plain and true. Not all love is vigorous, and not all love is heartbreaking. The love is by our side, happening and going on. The film shows us the most...

      2021 First Review

      [This is the first film review of this year, maybe it doesn't have much depth, maybe it lacks logic, but it's the first step. My ability to express is lacking, so let's start to improve from expression! I always felt that I didn't have time to watch movies or read books, but I can't remember where I saw it: Haruki Murakami said that if he was not busy and ran again, he would never run again. I think reading books, watching movies, sports, etc., these are part of life in themselves, instead...

      There are a lot of same-sex movies, this movie is well done, compact and...

      7/10 The old wine was replaced with a new bottle, and the effect of the old wine was specially made. The routine was full, but I was still deceived a lot of tears. Lawrence of Arabia is very eye-catching. Without him, Frank would not be able to pass this hurdle. "I don't have a home anymore." "But you still have me, and I still have you, until I die." - the old comforting words, still so heartwarming! The younger brother's two words "No problem." The mother's "Mothers know." makes people...

      Okay. . . At least it didn't make any sense to you. ....

      Anyone who leaves you because of secular, religious and other factors is not your family. Beth finally said that this should be where I am, not a family, but a gentle and tolerant...

      The subject matter is indeed old-fashioned. The shadow of childhood has now resurfaced. The identity of self-identity has only been fully realized after decades of repression. I don’t know if the few paragraphs of memory are the problem of young actors. The power is not enough, the whole film photography is...

    Evaluation action

    "Uncle Frank" is a well-crafted social drama with solid performances from the cast, with enough witty comedy to make the audience smile, while at the same time expressing themes of tolerance and understanding . Director Alan Ball turned this slightly autobiographical tale into one that empathizes with the audience, showing the usual confusion of family boundaries. The story itself has no particularly novel content. Marriage, coming out...

    Movie quotes

    • Beth: He was the kind of person I wanted to be: smart, funny and considerate.

    • Frank: See, once you get out of a town like Creekville, not only do you see how small your world was, you also see how much bigger it could become.

    • Frank: You gonna be the person you decide to be, or are you gonna be the person everyone else tells you you are?
