During this special period, I have watched a lot of gay films, and like fighting guerrilla warfare, I have to be careful with my family members. I just finished watching "God Bless Bobby" and I burst into tears several times. In fact, I rarely write film reviews, especially long reviews. I feel that my writing is not enough, and I have never been particularly fond of writing long-form articles, but I have a strong desire to write after reading it, so let’s talk about it from my own perspective.
It hurts deeply for anything not to be accepted by the family, especially Bobby, a gentle and considerate kid. In fact, Bobby is very painful about his identity, unable to love and accept himself, and I used to be like this. At first he just wanted to come out with his brother, but the brother told his parents that Bobby had committed suicide because of his pain. The family actually loves Bobby, but it really takes time to accept everything, especially my mother. This matter is beyond her cognition. In fact, it needs some assistance. Maybe Bobby's departure will help her mother slowly get out of the way. one way. It takes a lot of courage to come out, especially to your family members, especially your elders. Therefore, I deeply feel that when a person knows beforehand that this matter will bring unbearable consequences to himself, he should not do it, let alone force others to do it, which may lead to tragedy.
When a person is in pain, it is difficult for others to help. Except for his mother, Bobby's family is actually good to him as a homosexual, and he also has friends and lovers. Maybe because of belief and fear of losing the love of his family, Bobby tried many times to change and tried to communicate with his mother, but to no avail. A person sinks in pain alone. Just like Leslie Cheung's brother, he finally chose to leave in this way, and he really came out. I once fell into pain, and even reached a state of fear among the crowd, and finally got out through exercise, online psychological counseling, and reading psychological books. I'm very lucky to be able to come out. At that time, if I come out again, I will be stronger. If I can't come out, I will sink. Later, I kept reading psychological books and studying, and now I can accept myself and love myself. I used to come out with my high school classmates involuntarily, and later I came out with some friends. Several times, my mother revealed a little bit of information intentionally or unintentionally, and I felt that she would not agree with it too much and let it go.
The pastor is right, love and acceptance are right. I love pastors. It's amazing that Mom finally accepts herself, accepts and speaks out about being gay, and it's not in vain for Bobby to leave.
