When the film first came out, I went to junior high school because Peacock bought the disc. After watching it, I really left a deep impression, so much so that I still remember the appearance of Peacock getting thinner and weaker. It is also because this film was the first time I knew about the bathroom. After many years of comrades fighting against an unknown and deadly virus in the 1980s, I watched it again. I have a better understanding of the LGBT community than before. After this viewing, I was in a bad mood for a long time. The calm film begins with the success of the gay sex liberation movement and the beginning of an unknown virus. Compared to the joy of the sex liberation movement, I see more of a deadly virus that comes from an unknown virus. There are comrades who are constantly in fear because of the death of this disease and the continuous failed struggle of the main characters in the film, which makes the film even more gloomy and despairing. There is also the possibility of getting sick. Does the ruling class continue to cover up and let the epidemic raging among comrades and directly eliminate the collective existence of comrades? I really dare not think about the various embarrassments that Bruce encountered when he returned to his hometown with his dying lover. It shows the discrimination that the LGBT group has always been subjected to, and it is still like this even now. The end of the film is also dark. The business cards are taken out from the card holder and put into the drawer, just like the film says that this is a generation. Disappearance is the disappearance of ordinary people with ordinary hearts
