I don't remember how many times I've watched it, but it's been a long time since the last time I watched it. Compared to the previous time, I only had tears in my eyes, but this time I cried more and more. Instead, I don't know what to write. I love watching the joys and sorrows in movies, but I am always afraid of seeing these words adapted from real stories. No amount of tragedy can beat the heartbreak of a Based on A True Story.
This time, compared to before, I noticed that Bobby is not the kind of person who doesn't know anything about homosexuality. On the contrary, he knows everything, and he has been sending home messages like "What should I do if I have a gay child?" Books like that, I can reasonably guess that he has at least read them, but even so, he still ended his young life in "homosexual is a sin". Well, then I started to cry for the first time.
After Bobby's death, my mother has been searching for answers. As for where Bobby will go after he dies, will he be suffering in hell forever? She was restless, anxious, and at odds with the rest of the family. After participating in a series of activities that Bobby had wanted her to be involved in before her death, and after countless sad nights, she finally realized that her son was indeed constantly trying to change herself for her, and she had been stubbornly reluctant to change. However, when she realized this, waiting for the pastor in the majestic rain, crying "I'm sorry" to the pastor, everything was too late for Bobby. Here I start my second tear. My mother's sadness, despair, and remorse broke my heart.
Fortunately, the heroine's awakening is not too late for this world. She started participating in various PFLAG activities, and even stood up and spoke at a meeting in the city on whether to establish a gay activity day. You must know that at the beginning, she did not even want to let her friends see her son. The last scene of the movie is when the heroine and her family participate in the PFLAG parade in LA. As the movie says, when you pray, remember, there is a child listening.
