despair

One of the biggest feelings I get from watching this movie is: despair, a sense of suffocation that is desperately upstream.

When the whole world abandons us, I am willing to choose to fight with you. I finally found my lover, and I can finally choose to express my love regardless of everything. The reality is so cruel. Why are there so many people in this world, who have tried all the ways, but no one is willing to help him. This kind of helpless feeling of watching the person I love the most constantly approaching death and finally dying is very powerless. This is the place where the two male protagonists gave me the feeling and moved me the most.

After watching the movie, I kept thinking, why did they want to kick Ned out, in this organization, he seems to be the hardest working and most active all the time. He did a lot, desperate. But in fact, not everyone is like him, there is a brother who always protects him behind him, and others have no shield.

Now that homosexuality is more and more relaxed, there is very little discrimination in the film. Homosexuality is not a disease, they are normal people.

After reading it, I always feel very depressed, people are so helpless sometimes. May we all stay away from the disease and live happily.
