At the end of some movies, after many years, when you close your eyes, those scenes are still very clearly staged in front of your eyes.
In "The Age of Innocence", the aged Newland stood under Alan's window, and did not have the courage to go upstairs to meet his lover from many years ago. , there was a scene of Ellen standing by the lake many years ago, and she slowly turned to him in the sunset... In
"Billy Elliott" (also known as "Jump Out of My World"), the elder brother supported Alzheimer's His father came to the Grand Theater to watch Billy's performance. At this time, Billy was already the protagonist of "Swan Lake". He jumped into the air like an extremely beautiful exclamation mark. Tears.
In "Love Hurts" (also called "Destruction"), for Anna's disrepute and nothing in the British cabinet, Martin, the last person walks around with epiphysis on his back, in an empty room with a huge Anna standing on the wall. A picture between him and his son. He murmured to himself: "The last time I saw Anna was at the airport, she was holding the child in her arms and standing beside the ***, she was no different from other women." After
reading "Morris" My Lover", the last scene lingered in my mind. Doon walked into the bedroom, hugged his wife Ann and kissed him, walked over to close one of the shutters, and latched on, he turned around, smiled at Ann, and walked over to close another shutter. Suddenly he stopped, and the green lawn of Cambridge appeared outside the window. The blond boy Morris waved his arms, smiled brightly, and shouted to him: "Come down...", the film is in Doon's pair of lost And the sad eyes ended.
When our generation was young, it was still an era of no internet. At that time, our communication tool was letters, and we and our classmates and friends used letters to express each other's thoughts and feelings. I remember a description of true love in a letter from a classmate at that time: "The turmoil of the world makes people have no ethereal love. However, I still think that in the corner of the heart, there are often quiet nights, in the exhausting road of life, in many After being faked, it will tear apart a person's heart endlessly, this is the heart after giving up true love."
There is no more apt words to describe it, when I saw Doon's last eyes.
In recent years, "Broken Arm Mountain" is the most famous gay movie, and I have watched a lot of them before, such as "Breakthrough", "Lan Yu", "The Happier and More Depraved", "Night Run", "The Unruly Sky", "Beautiful Teenager's Love", "East Palace and West Palace", "Butterfly", "Farewell My Concubine", "Godfare", "Chinese Girl in the Botanical Garden", etc., but this gay movie made in 1987, in my opinion, is The pinnacle of work.
The beginning of the film is just as different as its ending. When Morris was young, he was going to change schools. His teacher told him the mystery of sex. On the beach, the teacher drew the genitals of men and women with branches and told him: "This is the place where life is conceived, and it is God who creates miracles of life. The place where the body is its temple, must not pollute this temple. One day, I am convinced that you will fall in love with a woman, marry, have children, that is the most important honor in life...", Childhood Morris A prophecy: "Teacher, I will not get married." The
story begins in Cambridge, England in 1908. Morris and Dunn are friends of Cambridge. They are attracted to each other by reading, discussing, and playing, and they develop feelings for each other. Doon first confessed to Morris, who was surprised that Morris immediately refused, but climbed into Doon's room that night, kissed him, and said he loved him. Two handsome teenagers rowing, playing the piano, and outing together in the beautiful Cambridge... Cambridge is beautiful under the camera, and the relationship between the two men is also beautiful and picturesque.
At the beginning of the last century, homosexual relationships were strictly prohibited in the UK. After their classmate, Sir Lisley, was convicted, Doon fell ill with stress and fear, realized that the relationship would be ruinous, began to distance himself from Morris, and offered to end the relationship. But Morris is crazy for love and he loses his mind... Doon is determined to leave Morris and ends up marrying Ann. But he is still willing to maintain this friendship with Morris, and Morris is suffering so much that he seeks medical treatment and cannot be relieved.
When Morris was in despair, Doon's gardener, Sitter, fell in love with Morris, and one night he climbed into Morris's room, so that he finally got a feeling of soul and flesh. Although the huge gap between the two's identities made Morris hesitate, the sincere love finally broke through the barriers of culture and class. Thinking gave up his plan to go to Argentina for him, and in the houseboat on the rainy night, they embraced each other and said, "We will never be apart again.
" Not so. Does Morris really love Scott? Wasn't he because after being abandoned by Doon, when he was most in pain and despair, the Thinking Specialist took advantage of it? They are not just hierarchical differences, in fact, there is no common language and emotional basis. If it was said that Morris and Doon had a purely spiritual relationship like Plato before, then his relationship with Sit was a relationship that started from the body. And after Morris and Sitter were together, they specifically told Doon that they had sex, which was more like revenge for Doon for abandoning him.
Morris is a person who dares to love and dare to hate. His feelings are as hot as the sun. In his opinion, there are no reasons for Doon to break up. He can do everything for love, even sacrificing his reputation and status. But Doon needs his political status, wealth and reputation. For Morris's love, he has always been affectionate and ceremonial. Although he took the initiative to show his love first, he was always detached. Said: "The feelings between the same sex should be purely spiritual", which is probably the best explanation for his feelings for Morris. But what Morris needs is all of Doon's feelings, from the spirit to the body, so the extensive and direct thinking will finally replace Doon to meet Morris' emotional needs, but the narrow and superficial thinking is very real Can Morris be in love with all his heart, can he be in the same spirit as Morris?
In the film, Dunn doesn't seem to have given much sincerity. He waved his hand without taking away a cloud, and married Ann, who seemed to be chaotic and abandoned to Morris. But is he happy? His surprised expression when he touched Ann's body, the politeness of the two, almost made people suspect that they had no sex at all. He invited Morris to be a guest again and again, but kept the distance of friends, reserved and restrained. Until the last scene, when Doon looked out the window, he saw the blond boy Morris' bright smile and waving arms on the green lawn in Cambridge... Ann came over and asked, "Who were you with just now? Speech?" Dunn said: "I'm reciting the speech."
A pair of extremely sad eyes betrayed his deeply buried secret.
What a sad moment! Although his body chose to give up, his heart was still with Morris.
And Morris left this time, taking his heart with him.
Doon, Morris, who is their true love? Whose love is stronger and more persistent? Can a person's appearance and actions really represent his heart?
And we, in the emotional world, are we Morris or Dune? The answers we have been searching for may be far from the truth of the matter.
The two protagonists in the film are very good. The actor James "Wilby" who plays Morris has a high-spirited blonde hair, enthusiastic eyes, and a handsome and refined temperament. Dunn is played by a young Hugh Grant. I see more of Hugh Grant's later works, his signature down-turned eyes and a bright smile full of folds, as well as the elegant British gentleman's temperament. But in this film, he is very handsome when he is young, and he has nothing in Cambridge. Against the backdrop of the beautiful scenery, he showed his peerless face. When I dined in his villa, the glances he and Morris exchanged during the dinner, I saw a special charm and beauty on a man's face. , this is the only one other than Leslie Cheung, and he himself is not gay. So he endowed Doon with the kind of handsome, fragile, blurred temperament, subtle, free, and complicated emotions, no wonder this movie made Hugh Grant get the Venetian actor.
