This article will analyze the theme, characters, dialogues, shots, and rhythm of the film one by one.
Keywords: gay love and lies worship money black humor
theme: pursuit (love and lies love and freedom love and money)
1.
At the beginning of the film, Stephen lying on a blue hospital bed recalled being told that he was adopted when he was a child, and stated his first pursuit: "Be the best son, no, the best person." In
the eyes of the world, his Life is undoubtedly happy. He is a happily married cop with a lovely daughter. He was a devout Christian, praying with his wife every night and playing the organ in church, looking for his biological mother in his spare time.
He used his power to find his mother. The childlike smile on his face when he learned that his mother was staying in the same place made people happy and sad at the same time. But what is even more sad is that after he found his mother, the mother still rejected him cruelly. This drove Stephen almost crazy. It also declared the failure of this pursuit.
two. The frustration of pursuing love and escaping from being imprisoned and
finding his mother planted a seed against the secular society in his heart. After a car accident, he finally sees through. He began to have a new pursuit. So he decided to get away from his old life and live the life he really wanted - to be a happy gay man. He has a boyfriend: Jimmy. He buys all kinds of luxury goods, using fake ID cards, fake bank cards. After the incident was revealed, he attempted suicide by swallowing medicine, jumped off a building, and finally committed suicide and went to prison. But in the end Jimmy also left him - Jimmy was terminally ill. Stephen's life lost his pursuit again, his love was lost...
3. Pursue love, give up freedom - love to die
There is no doubt that God is good. After closing a door for Stephen, he also opened a window for him. When Stephen calls in prison, he meets Maurice - a man who makes him fall in love at first sight and resume his pursuit of love.
They fell in love and were in prison. He managed to escape from prison, and pretended to be a lawyer to get Morris out of prison early.
Stephen used his powerful deception to become the chief financial officer of a company. In the company, he embezzled 50% of the company's profits to buy a car and a house...
His deception was successful at the time, but was exposed afterwards. He ran away, and Morris deserted him.
After being imprisoned again, he pretended to have applied for parole from Judge Charles; asked to be beaten to reach his mother who stole a doctor's license; even pretended to be a woman to sneak out... All kinds of actions were just to meet Morris, explain to him, and win Morris' heart. . When he finally got a chance, the police arrived on schedule. The apocalyptic brilliance of the picture gradually fades - Stephen is arrested again.
After being arrested and imprisoned, he suffered from a terminal illness - AIDS. Yet this is an illusion. But his act of pretending to die for love still deeply shocked me. Especially before exposing his tricks. Even after the debunking, I'm delighted that Stephen is still alive and that they have a chance of salvaging their love.
In this love, Stephen pretended to be a lawyer again and again to rescue Murray, until he was finally sentenced to 144 years and lived a life in prison that was constantly monitored and strictly controlled. determination. This is really ironic in today's society, because there are very few people who give their freedom and everything for love. Maybe that's why I chose to write a review of this movie.
Four. Stephen Baijin
thought that with money, he seemed to be able to buy and possess everything, and that he could use money to maintain love with lies.
He had an illusion. It can be seen from the fact that he once sent a bundle of money to his daughter as a gift. Childhood experiences induced him to pursue and possess unlimited money. He is deceitful, ostentatious, and lives a self-righteous "chic life", and regards money, villas, and luxury cars as symbols of a glorious life.
Maybe in the end Stephen understood that love is higher than money. Money cannot buy love.
Character (Stephen)
Uneasy man: Insecure, belonging, and confused;
Neurotic: Likes to say inappropriate things and do inappropriate things; Gold-
loving man: Like luxury goods and spend a lot of money.
True Love Comes: He could have escaped on his own with a masterful deceit, but he chose to pretend to be a lawyer to rescue his lover, Morris. He could have embraced freedom, but chose to be imprisoned for love. Just as he once touched the imprisonment of the secular world for love.
Master Lies: Can play various identities with ease. Strange Stephen can perpetuate the lie every time, and no one notices. Even though he didn't go to college, it's really incredible and ironic to me and many others. Being good at observation and adapting to changes is one of his great advantages. Perhaps the wild spread of the joke he told explains why so many people were deceived.
Self-assessment: My life is full of lies. I cheated people to make money, cheated people to love me, and lied to keep them from leaving me. In the process, I have no idea who I am.
Those words in the movie
"Love really doesn't make sense. It makes you cry, makes you laugh, and makes you do unexpected things. In fact, it's because of love. I'm lying here waiting to die." Alludes to the ending of the characters.
"I've been living a lie, and I'm used to hiding the truth." Reveals the tragic nature of the characters.
"Baby, I will never lie to you." The
more stressed the words, the more unbelievable, which is the embodiment of Stephen's inner fear. He learned that he was abandoned when he was young, and he was afraid of being abandoned by his lover when he became an adult, so he kept deceiving Debbie, Jimmy, and Morris.
"I love you."
"Ever since we met, you've only lied. Our feelings are all fake. I'm so stupid, you only use me like everyone else, you should protect me, but you don't do anything , will only make a fool of me, you still expect me to love you? How can I love you, I don't even know who you are, do you know what is sad? I think you don't know who you are, how can I love someone Someone who doesn't exist?"
"I'm just here to tell you one thing, one thing is absolutely true...I'm not a lawyer, I'm not a treasurer...My identities are dead. Now the only thing left is the man who loves you." Video Finally, the dialogue between Del Stephen and Morris, who was resurrected from AIDS, revealed the true meaning of love: love has nothing to do with identity, love does not need those rhetoric with lies, as long as it does not deceive each other with a sincere heart. Lies can never cover up the truth.
Shot:
The blue sky at the beginning of the film and the natural transition of the color of the blue hospital bed and uniform. The ending echoes the opening with a blue sky.
The shot of Steven lying on the blue hospital bed is from a bird's-eye view, with an emotion of pity. A close-up shot shows the mental state and local details of the character. The shot is repeated three times and echoes Steven's last deception, deepening the impression and shaping the image.
There are two scenes where Steven talks to his mother after he finds him. One is the song "Happy Birthday to You" that appeared after his siblings were celebrating their birthdays through screens and doors and being rejected.
A mat with "welcome" painted on it, taunting. It can welcome anyone who comes, but cannot accept her own son. No guilt, cold, heartless.
The front of the rhythm
is too slow, like prose. Afterwards, the rhythm was tight, which was pretty good.
