Not a film review, afterthought

After watching the movie, it feels like indigestion. Glen's radical views have always puzzled me. I know that the director obviously doesn't fully support his attitude. We should be able to know from Glen's quarrel with the straight man he mistakenly thinks of because of decibels and sexual orientation. But is there really such a huge divide between LGBTQ people and cisgender straight people? I was confused for a long time. Is it really reasonable for gender identity and sexual orientation to be a dominant identity? I think it's just a small part of people. Not to mention that domestic officials regard homosexuality as vulgar and obscene, Brunei also implemented stoning laws against homosexuals last year - sexual minorities are even regarded as obscenity and crimes by hatred. What really separates us is not sexual orientation and gender identity, but prejudice, arrogance, hatred and stupidity. "The feelings between people are not interconnected, I just think they are noisy." This is what makes me feel inexplicably sad.

    It's like I spent a weekend with you, I have Russell's character, and you have Glen's ideas. You and I talk to each other, laugh and laugh, watch and watch, roll and roll. Only in your own room is the most relaxing, don’t worry, don’t care, don’t pretend, that’s good, maybe one day I go out a little bit and dare to do things that I used to care too much and never did. I want to tell you that it was because of you, because of that weekend, because you left

Weekend quotes

  • Glen: Do you ever think about finding your parents?

    Russell: No, not really.

    Glen: Why not?

    Russell: I don't really see the point. You know, I don't think it would change anything.

    Glen: Why don't I pretend to be your dad and you can come out to me?

    Russell: [laughs] That is SO weird.

    Glen: Just ignore the fact we just had sex.

    Russell: I don't think I can. Guess I'll try. Ok.

    [looks Glen in the eye]

    Russell: Dad? I got something I need to tell you.

    Glen: [pretending to be Russell's dad] What's that?

    Russell: I'm gay.

    Glen: [pretends to think] Hmm.

    Russell: I like guys, not girls.

    Glen: [breathes out slowly] Well. You know what, son. It doesn't matter to me. I love you just the same. And guess what?
