Simple and true In just two days, friendship or love quickly attracted each other to revealing their true self. I was touched by Glen's being myself, and I was also touched by Russell's seriousness and single-mindedness in dealing with feelings.

The two male protagonists seem to be my incarnations. In the face of friends, I can't integrate into dirty topics. In the face of shame and helplessness in the face of for fun's one-night stand, I broke through myself in order to retain the ideal of him. In order to pursue my own dreams, I had to choose to give up love. His.

The parting scene at the station seems to be acquaintance, which is very touching; but the real world is so full of helplessness and various choices, everyone in the circle is accustomed to hiding themselves, when you finally find someone you like, your own values ​​and development outlook often lead to differences.

    A / If a rigid concept of boundaries is presupposed, then the film can only show or be trapped in boundaries. But the boundaries that Hagrid portrayed in this work are constantly floating and looming. Starting from the tilt of the building under the street slope when the title was released, the film enters a "life" world where many sounds and distortions of perspective coexist. Heterosexual couples breaking into the fixed camera, gay couples walking into the swimming pool through the slow mirror, and even unstoppable voices blocked by their figures in the swaying subway space... They are all indifferent but still The strange feeling of the diaphragm breaks the "room" created by the camera for the protagonist. But Hagrid doesn't stop at smoothing this coexistence. He repeatedly rubs the feeling with intimate and improvised exchanges, affirming that its plain density collides with its "reasonable" form. In the end, this split identity experience is wrapped up in a clumsy way of acting, turning into a wisp of smoke drifting in the distance outside the window.

    Of course, it cannot be compared with the time before sunrise and sunset. The dialogue is not as attractive and moving as the former. There are too many sex scenes, which take away the role of the movie, but fortunately, the performance is invested and the feelings are sincere.
