The details are barely enough, the foreshadowing and expressiveness are not enough

1⃣️ I went to the HE version of Brokeback Mountain, but the heat is still much worse than that of Brokeback Mountain.

2⃣️ It is more of a growth story, very personal, with a social background.

3⃣️The same dialogue as BBM is quite rare, but the actor's expression is monotonous, the emotional foreshadowing is not enough, and the sense of CP is not strong, so the expressiveness is not as good as BBM.

4⃣️Inherited the detail control of BBM.

The smile in the helmet: Even if love is covered, it will leak out of the eyes.

Sweater: Perhaps borrowed from the Brokeback Mountain shirt terrier, the person who licked the wound is gone, and the rejected gloves are taken back, but the sweater still wraps him like a glove.

The fluttering bird in the cage, the curious probe of the lamb in the sheepfold: echoing the look on Georgy's window, the birth of love.

5⃣️In short, the continuation of BBM in a less successful, but with another characteristic way. If the male protagonist hadn't done this and apologized more sincerely, he would probably have liked it more. (Unfortunately, my natural emotional cleanliness makes me not very accepting of the love concept of many European and American movies, and the same is true for "Please Call Me by Your Name".)

    The plot is relatively thin, and the UK under the director's lens seems to be something that can be seen in many other directors' films, which seems to be lacking in features. It's more like a Brokeback Mountain fan movie with the main characters replaced by British farmers and Romanian working men...

    Oh my, I know it's going to be sweet, but I still get smeared on my face! ! ! Now that the United Kingdom has left the European Union, it means that the sweet and handsome little brothers who were supposed to be assigned to the United Kingdom will all come to our Western Europe hihihi. The immigration policy should later be changed to: only highly skilled and LGBT can apply.
