love and freedom

The lawsuit itself - it won dignity for homosexuals and defended the "justice" that the United States advertised as "All men are created equal." Andrew became a fighter with a weak image, and the film attempts to explain such behavior as his belief in the law ——“you get to be part of justice being done.”, while further emphasizing “all men are created equal” from a legal and social perspective. Therefore, the focus of this film is a legal confrontation, as JOY emphasizes, "But a law's been broken, okay? The law. Remember the law?" Although the shadow of morality and ethics has always pervaded, but everyone We all know that the victory of a lawsuit does not necessarily lead to moral and ethical approval. The film attempts to show rational respect for homosexuality rather than emotional acceptance. Although JOY's last moving appearance has injected more warmth into the film, I think it does not go deep into the moral and ethical level in the discussion of homosexuality, but avoids the important ones. So we saw an ANDREW who was actually very lucky. He got the support of his family, he could hire his own lawyer, and he had a lover who never left.

And many homosexuals, whether they have AIDS or not, are in a constant state of anxiety - and the emotional world without social recognition is like a jungle that has not been comforted by the sun for a long time, often disorganized. Perhaps the first thing that homosexuals need to solve is their own psychological inferiority - guilt, inferiority complex, helplessness... and the understanding and acceptance of those around them who really have a relationship with them. When ANDREW's mother said, "I can't imagine there is anything, that anyone could say, that would make us feel less proud of you." I thought it meant more than this lawsuit. In our lifetime, we know only 3,000 people (ordinary people), and only a few hundred people have an impression. How many people can you remember his phone number and his birthday? Can get the approval of the close relatives, die without regrets.

ANDREW became a fighter because he deeply knew that homosexuality was acceptable - with enough understanding, tolerance and love. Such hope gave him the courage to fight for his dignity and his own interests when he felt that homosexuality had to be accepted. What he chooses to face at the end of his life is a return for love, allowing more people to face the issue of homosexuality, and being understood is a means of gaining recognition. This is the last look, longing, worship of freedom, of life.

However, nothing can fill his thirst for life. When you look at yourself a little bit by the disease and go to death, the truth and preciousness of life cannot be expressed, and the concealment of the past becomes powerless and ridiculous. What ANDREW hopes to win from the lawsuit is not only the legal rights of homosexuality, but also the society's attention, understanding, and acceptance of this group of people. What he really wants to embrace is not high compensation, but an air of endless love and freedom.

My favorite part was when he listened and told an opera under the eerie red light, so obsessed, so relaxed...


"It was during that sorrow that
love came to me!

A voice filled with harmony
That said.. .
Live still, I am Life!"

"I am the god that descends
From the heavens to the earth
To make of the earth
A heaven!"


"I am Oblivion!
I am Glory!
I am Love, Love, Love!"
