Cause and effect reincarnation, love and punishment.

The highlight of this play is that the character building allows you to have a different understanding of the character from beginning to end. For example, David, who was disgusting and disgusting at the beginning, was actually a victim himself, and Lucien, who was beautiful and unrestrained and shouted to challenge the secular conventions, actually lacked courage in his bones - he couldn't face his own orientation and didn't have the determination to break everything. As Allen said, he only used others to fulfill his dreams, and even finally wiped out the relationship by asking Allen to remove all his names from his works. But it also verifies the theme of the film - causal reincarnation. If Lucien hadn't wanted to throw Allen and Jack away to escape reality, then Allen wouldn't have told David his whereabouts in a fit of rage, and there would have been no quarrels and jail time. Maybe he and Allen would have gone far away. Farewell to David, who loved him to the point of being perverted but also pitiful. But it was Allen who wanted to get rid of not only David, but also the ambiguous spark between him and Allen, but also the escape from his love for David and his own orientation (gay/bi), which led to the reincarnation of fate. If Allen said:
Something once you've love them, become yours forever
And if you try to let them go, they only circle back and return to you.
They become part of who you are.
Or they destroy you.

Allen's three The outlook is also very positive. In the midst of tobacco, alcohol and drugs, there is no depression, nor blind cynicism, but a real challenging spirit. At the same time, his love for lucien is also sober and mature. He chose to make lucien responsible for his mistakes, but dedicated his first poetry collection to him. Allen is the bravest man.

Finally, I feel sorry for David again, he just loves the wrong person.
