My heart is full of scars

When I first saw the adaptation of a true event, the pain was unbearable. The whole movie was very heavy. The only ray of sunshine was Bobby's cousin Jenny, but he couldn't redeem him from "sin". What a mother should do is accept it graciously, not force it so that Bobby gives up his life. The eulogy of the godfather at Bobby's memorial service really made me indignant, what is "good will be rewarded, evil will return", whether it is stealing or killing or ... that can all be forgiven, not to mention the different sexual orientation of Bobby. than it. The world is mean and blind.
I hated his mother Mary when I saw half of it, she caused Bobby's death to a large extent, "homosexuality is a sin", it was her only creed who blindly believed in the Bible, even after Bobby died The only thing she worried about after that was whether he was going to hell and being scorched by fire instead of reflecting on what she had done wrong. A tyrannical mother, an indifferent father and a cowardly son contributed to this tragedy. Later, Mary read the book that Bobby sent her about how parents should understand homosexuality, went to a church, and finally changed her dogma with the help of the godfather and the gay family. She finally knew it was her fault, and cried "I'm so sorry" over and over again.
In the end, she stood on the stage of parliament, and when she fought for Gay Freedom Day, her heart was finally redeemed. Eventually the festival passed a parliamentary vote, and the rest of their family took part in a parade for that festival. Mary suddenly saw that her son was there, she went up to hug him, in Mary's heart Bobby's life continued on the gay boy, and she dedicated her whole life to this cause, and Bobby was still alive.
Finally, I watched this TV in the office at noon, until I couldn't hear everything outside, until my face was full of tears. Everyone who has the opportunity to see it, don't hurt a kind-hearted person because of your ignorance.
Also, the opening and ending songs are great

    Cherish life and stay away from religion, I cried until I burst into tears in the second half, I am what I am, I'm sorry, I'm not the perfect little Bobby you always wanted, I'm sorry, I didn't become the child you wanted, I Just being myself, being special is amazing,

    Religion, sexual orientation, and ideas collide with each other. Taking Bobby's suicide as a node, the first half of the episode feels powerful family oppression from Bobby's perspective. The lack of black flashes in many places in the movie affects the smoothness of the movie. The death of Bobby and the drastic change in the mother's attitude seem to be paving the way. The timely shaking of the camera creates a sense of instability, the mother's ignorance and stubbornness make people gnashing, and the final speech is moving.
