The beauty of love lies in making people a better version of themselves

The first time I watched a gay movie, I thought it would be a little uncomfortable. Maybe I was still more traditional and conservative in nature, but after watching it, I felt so natural. Love really has nothing to do with gender. From the awkward and injured Xiaogong encountering Xiaoshou who has no self-confidence but his own healing ability, to the time when Xiaogong wants to leave the country, it only took two days, but he made the most profound friendship in gossip, and only when he left would he Both were in great pain. They should be soul mates, but they still have to go. Xiao Gong left three times and went downstairs. The first time was only after Ons left, and he walked briskly without looking back. The second time I had chatted, I became attached to Xiaoshou, so when I left, I turned back, told him crampedly that he was going away and invited him to the party. When I left, I was a little nervous and looked back. In the third time, I had passed heart-to-heart, and my heart had changed a lot. Because I was injured, I set myself a rule not to have a boyfriend. In fact, I was very eager for Xiaoshou to heal him. The parting this time may be a real parting. Looking back, the steps are particularly heavy. In the conversation between the two of them at Xiaoshou's house, they can feel the changes little by little, and they can also feel the rapid warming of their feelings in a short period of time. Xiaoshou went from listening to Xiaogong's speech blindly, echoing with a smile, to expressing his thoughts bravely, trying to keep him. Xiaogong went from self-confident publicity to deep incision of his wounds, and also helped Xiaoshou heal. When Xiao Gong played the role of Xiao Shou's father when he was sleepy, he accepted his coming out and helped him complete the same adult ceremony. It was so tearful. So at the farewell station, Xiaoshou also broke through himself and bravely expressed his love in public places. At this time, in the face of the performing crowd, Xiaoshou stepped forward, but Xiaogong did not say a word, which happened to be the exchange of identities that they faced mocking after their first night. In the end, Xiaoshou was leaning against the window sill, and the tape recorder heard the voice of the question and answer when they first met, followed by the flat and tactful music at the end of the film, as if returning to the glimpse they had when they first met in the bar.

Weekend quotes

  • Glen: Well, you know what it's like when you first sleep with someone you don't know?

    Russell: Yes.

    Glen: It's... you, like, become this blank canvas and it gives you an opportunity to project onto that canvas who you want to be. That's what's interesting because everybody does that.

    Russell: So do you think that I did it?

    Glen: Course you did. Well, what happens is while you're projecting who you want to be... this gap opens up between who you want to be and who you really are. And in that gap, it shows you what's stopping you becoming who you want to be.

  • 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?

    Russell: What?

    Glen: I couldn't be more proud of you than if you were the first man on the moon.
