For a heterosexual, watching this movie should theoretically be difficult to empathize with, but ah, but, the creator has given human empathy. From the bright colors at the beginning of the film to the heavy blue tones that accompany the death of the disease, the emotional changes continue to affect the audience.
The most incomprehensible thing to me is: why does the gay community in the movie seem to encircle themselves in the group's narrow "freedom" of "we can live happily" and never fight like the protagonist Ned? Can't they see that true freedom is "to be helped by all parties when the group faces difficulties"? Not that if heterosexuality would also have an effect, they would have to kill themselves. But in all fairness, how can we blame them? Whoever it is, the initial reaction when their survival is threatened is fear. Brave people, like Ned, have no existential threat yet. The only solution to the predicament is to unite, and at the same time, heterosexuals should help sexual minorities fight for their rights.
zg has never been an inclusive country, for sexual minorities, for women, and for men. From the stigmatization of homosexuality by Internet policy last year to the collision of the rainbow event in Beijing yesterday, prejudice has never disappeared. In this increasingly severe situation, how can we not despair and survive? Life can get harder and people become more alienated, a result of the concentration of power and money in the hands of a few. How can human beings not be reduced to beasts again in this kind of prejudice, narrow-mindedness and selfishness?
It's just fighting. We must constantly face our own selfishness, narrow-mindedness, and prejudice. We must constantly face the misunderstandings, scolding, and fisting of others. We must continue to fight in the face of our own fears until we can't fight.
