This was just an email conversation between me and my friend

Dear de,

after watching weekend, it has an impressive truth to me, that last Sunday night was so sad. From Brokeback Mountain to Farewell My Concubine, this is a film that interprets gay life in the UK. It is precisely because of the familiarity that the thinking it brings is so unforgettable. Thanks for letting me find it

I said:

Ps, weekend was really good movie , I watched it by myself in cinema the first time , there r so many moments in the film I also felt really reflective , it reminds my heart ,my feeling, my memory towards my love or sexual experiences back in years in UK!

One is for love, the other is not for relationship.
It only takes two days, but the feeling is very real.

Neither of the two actors themselves are gay, so it's not easy to interpret such a true story.

As long as I have gay friends, I will recommend this film.
Because of the dialogue, because those two short days were real.

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.
