I originally watched it for the beauty of Peacock and Mark's basic love. I didn't expect it to be such a depressing movie, and then I found out that it was about the struggle of the gay community in the 1980s. The entire viewing process was too depressing. If you are in a mess, maybe it is because you understand the situation of this group that you want to see more good aspects to give yourself some comfort.
I'm also one of the people who don't dare to fight, so I don't understand Bruce who has always been keen to fight. I feel that he is too radical, but I still feel very touched when I see him taking care of Felix, and I have always liked him. The people are together, but they are going to die because of AIDS. This kind of feeling is too uncomfortable. At the same time, I am afraid of being infected, but I have to take care of my companions. Cherish the people around you now, what a pity, where is that person, Save me!
By the way, there are a lot of emotional outbursts in the movie. Apart from Mark's roar, what impressed me the most was the outburst of the female doctor, that is, the mother in Miracle Boy. Her acting skills were amazing and very infectious. Seeing those scenes in the movie, the current domestic situation is not as good as the 1980s in the United States. Today Taiwan voted for gay rights. Although the result failed, it was only postponed for a few months. Even the re-screening of Farewell My Concubine in China was not possible. I hope to develop in my good side. For example, a male kindergarten teacher was expelled because of his gay status. He won the case yesterday. I hope this is the beginning. There is still a long way to go in the future.
