not just affection

Don't know why this is the one time I feel like I know Dolan the most in five. Found that his female characters often have gorgeous makeup and hair, and now realize that this seems to be a cover-up. We all thought about running away, but we still didn't get out of the house like the male protagonist. In my opinion, Vincent's older brother's complex feelings towards his younger brother include both anger at his evasion of responsibility, jealousy at his younger brother's achievements, inability to get rid of his eldest brother's identity as a father, and the resulting anger towards him. Unbearable disappointment in my own life. This character is extremely annoying, but it also makes it so three-dimensional and real. I haven't seen the film starring Leia before, and I found that her performance was not overwhelmed by a few seniors. Ma Liang is still very beautiful and good at acting, but I don't know much about this role. I feel that this one seems to be more traditional in narrative than the previous works I have seen. Everyone and the hero's rivalry has something to watch. In the end, the bird that fell to the ground after bumping around in the house, I don't know what kind of symbol it is. There are too many things we can't choose. The sense of alienation displayed in the film is distressing.

I've never really understood Dolan's soundtrack. Especially the end scene?

Our lives are intertwined, don't forgive me if I ever hurt you.

Please stay away from me.

    Although the lineup is good, this theme is too contrived 2

    One of Dolan's most completed films is very niche, and those who feel the same way will feel that they are crying blood every frame, and those who have not experienced it will feel inexplicable. He came back to announce his death, and although everyone in the family couldn't understand each other, he was the least understood one, yes, because of his sexuality, straight people will never, ever, ever understand. Dolan understands, so every feature sticks to his heart. The memories are so beautiful and so heartbreaking.
