it's love that beats us

"Mummy" has too many memory points. Die's huge bunch of keys, Die's cry after losing his job and Steve's calm and docile comfort, facing ridicule and humiliation of the strange girl who still sings with Steve, Steve's bloody lying on the ground encouraging Kyla, Steve pulling away In the picture, Steve closes the trunk in Die's imagination and drives away, Steve leaves one last call to the nurse to confirm the effect...

but it's all love. Whether it's aggressive, unexpressed, the love I'll still have if you don't love me, or the love that has nowhere to run, overwhelms myself, but still burns when your love fades, They will expose themselves to the high ground, to this mechanically cold society, and to all the stones.

If we don't get a good card, what can we do to protect ourselves? With the love we do best? Are we willing to let our love go through this?

When Kyla came to say goodbye. All of Die's heart sounds seemed to be screaming in the distance.

You are moving to Toronto. I still remember the days in Toronto. They are all fine. We are quite rich. Husband, children, food and clothing, that was my life, not anymore. That's your life, and it dawned on me that when you come home and face your family, I'm so real in the situation I'm in. I need you Kyla, I used to smoke and drink with you, laugh hysterically for no reason, I needed you to be Steve's support, and I needed to see you talking relaxed amidst our laughter. And now I still need you, I need you to tell me I'm right, I need you to tell me it's the best thing to do, and I need you to feel the emptiness that Steve leaves with me. But I really dare not look at you now, I can only laugh exaggeratedly like this, although I know very well that you know my jealousy and envy at this moment, and know that I am facing the fear and helplessness of loneliness at this moment. You brought me despair, you told me I gave up. I know, but I'm going to lie to myself one last time.

Seeing Die sitting on the ground with empty eyes and disheveled hair, it's hard not to think of Die's flamboyant, vibrant makeup, and looking back at the door, eyes full of provocation and confidence: Our love conquers all, dear. My love can save those I love.

Die and Steve's home has never been more sunny in the nearly two hours preceding it in the film. And in the house far away in the strong colors, Die was finally defeated.

Steve fell in love one last time as he ran toward the window, a smile on his lips.

And Die, who heard the message, may not have much room to tear his heart.

    Watching it again after three years, I can still be moved by Dolan's deep-seated feelings. We are not born perfect, and we are not immune to guilt in this world, but a moment of beauty can be overflowing with warmth forever.

    The film’s success came at the expense of the first four films that were not successful enough. I finally understand that Dolan's too much style is not wrong, but because of his age experience, only "the stupid bird flies first" can achieve such a perfect balance through continuous practice. Turn black instantly. I like the burst of mother's back to the camera most. At the end, Born to die really touched my point. (Please calm down if you ask for resources. How can there be a download at the Cannes World Premiere...)
