It's just a superficial feeling in the form of film reviews~

Glen has more radical same-sex rights ideology than Russel, he thinks Americans will take to the streets to fight for rights, while they (British people) will only promiscuous on grinders. But I think it's because Glen's heart is more fragile than Russel, so he wants to "get ahead" rather than be reconciled to obscurity. Glen has experienced cheating, being rejected by roommates after finding out about his sexuality, and being isolated by "friends" at school. And that's something Russel hasn't experienced. So Glen is more eager to hold hands, hug and kiss openly in a heterosexual-dominated society. But what about Glen arguing with a straight man in a straight bar the day before he left, is it really necessary in real life? I don't think it's necessary, because straight doesn't need to accept Homosexual, and Homosexual doesn't need to seek approval from others, just shine alone. Although Russel thinks it is very difficult to live alone and shine alone. Glen and Russel have only been together for a weekend, and their affection for each other is largely related to passion. I am afraid that Russel and Glen will go to the United States at the end, because I am afraid that Glen and Russel will become strangers after the passion fades, okay In the movie, Russel did not leave, and Glen did not stay. I think this is a good ending, and we can recall the good time together. The movie has a lot of independent and meaningful dialogues. These dialogues themselves are the value of this movie. There are not many stories. Although the occasional exciting scene is still very refreshing to watch, it is a dull but valuable dialogue. More worth our while. Talks about Homosexual reluctance to talk about sex in public, talk about same-sex rights, talk about cheating on their parents, etc., are all very true. Of course, I personally don't like this style of movies very much. It's like a trilogy. Although it's really good, it's still a little boring. But there's no denying that it's still a good movie.

    1: Very small and fresh, very broken thoughts, but extremely real. 2: These days, men who bend like to have little cheeks, it's the same all over the world. 3: Is this a gay version of Before Sunrise? 4: Very exquisite from all levels, with wonderful dialogues, delicate emotions, and sincere performances. 5: The best gay movie in 11 years, not one of them. 6: The two male protagonists are very loving, the male one is silly and cute, and the male second is saucy and cute.

Weekend quotes

  • Glen: It's like when you've had the same friends for too long, they become like - Everything becomes cemented.

    Russell: What? And that's a bad thing, is it?

    Glen: Of course, it's a bad thing. I don't want to be in fucking concrete, thank you very much.

    Glen: It's like they won't let you, they won't let you be any version of yourself except an old version, or the version that they want you to be.

  • Glen: Look. Straight people like us as long as we conform, we behave by their little rules. Imagine your friends if you suddenly started getting all, but really, political about being a fag, or you got suddenly, like, camp and swishy or talked about rimming all the time.

    Russell: [interrupting] But that's not what I'm like, is it? That's not who I am.

    Glen: Well, just trust me: They like it as long as we don't shove it down their throats.

    Russell: Okay, well, why should I just shove it down their throats?

    Glen: Because they shove it down our throats all the time: Being straight. Straight story lines on television, everywhere - in books, on billboards, magazines, everywhere. But, ah, the gays, the gays -

    [gasps]

    Glen: "We mustn't upset the straights. Shh. Watch out. Straights are coming.

    [lisping]

    Glen: Let's not upset them. Let's hide in our little ghettoes. Let's not hold hands. Let's not kiss in the street, no."
