The hideaway of sheep on the mountain makes people suspect that this movie is another version of Brokeback Mountain. Unexpectedly, it is thinner than Brokeback Mountain. There is very little background music in the whole movie, and even the dialogue is too lazy to say much, but perhaps it is this silent loneliness and pure and beautiful demeanor that makes people linger.
John was still a very simple child. Although he did something stupid when he drank too much, maybe he was just thinking with his lower body at that moment, and the hormones were at work. John is a very filial child. Although he always quarrels with his father, he cares about his father and his family very much from the bottom of his heart. But he was still young and could not bear such a heavy burden. So much so that he didn't want to take on such a heavy farm work and escape from reality in vain. When his father fell ill, he didn't want to listen to the doctor's feedback, because he was afraid of hearing what he didn't want to hear.
And Georg is different, he has experienced some things, and he has matured a lot. He knows what he wants. He knows how to take care of people, even his sheep. He will cook delicious food for John. He likes John, and he can choose to make out with John in the carport, but he also knows that he can't be in the carport with John forever, or spend his life on the mountain. He wants to get his name right, he wants to be a real relative.
But John's father couldn't accept that his child was gay. John's grandmother was sad but strong. She didn't know what to do, but she was open-minded. She finally supported her grandson with her actions. After Georg ran away, she handed John a piece of paper, which wrote Georg's whereabouts. Fortunately, John's father, finally acquiesced to the child, although incomprehensible, but acceptable. "(that) make you happy?" Perhaps, most parents are the same.
In the movie, the part where John's father fell ill still touched me very much. When he fell, the child was not around, only his elderly mother took care of him, what a pitiful person. Once, my mother always complained to me that my father always brought delicious food back to his hometown, but not enough left in his own home, so that my mother was always dissatisfied, and always felt that my father treated the people in his hometown better than him. Wife is also important. I don't know if my father has a good face or if he really wants to be good for the people in his hometown. In my opinion, a man who doesn't care about his family is not a good man. Even so, I told my mother about my opinion, and she still said something, and she just complained, and it wasn't that serious. Sometimes, a marriage is run by two people. I didn't really understand that at the time, until I saw how pitiful John's dad was tonight. Although my dad did have some bad things, he still loves my mom very much. After the fresh-keeping period of love, they are more of a family now. They support each other in life, and they can support each other in ordinary life. Warm, perhaps this is the steady happiness.
On the eleventh, I went to a small city with a long stream of water. This is a stable and peaceful city, without the hustle and bustle and compactness of the front line, but it makes people feel calm. I used to yearn for steady happiness, and I used to hope to be with someone in such a city, have their own business, make money together, and then make more money together. If you have time, play ball together, if you have no time, play games at home together, sleep in together, sleep in the dark, let it be landslides and tsunamis, and let it be crowded. I have the opportunity to accompany you to watch the football you like, or the basketball that we all like to watch, although we like different teams and stars, it doesn't matter, as long as you are by your side. It's a pity that "I'm a straight man" tells me that "he likes me" really belongs to one of the three major delusions in life. The most terrifying thing in life is wishful thinking, and what gay men are more afraid of is that straight men are poisonous. After watching the movie, I thought, I'm also invited to know what I want. I also have to know how to be responsible for myself, so I still choose to make a brave confession. As a good friend told me, what I lack is not friends. You have your life, and although I can't get involved too much, I still want to tell you that I liked you.
