The name "120 BPM" comes from the house music that swept Europe and the United States in the 1990s. Its beat rate is 124 beats per minute. It's a mix of joy and anxiety that perfectly captures the living conditions of the gay community at the time. So, now you know, this is a gay + anti-AIDS movie, yes, this is a fairly obvious label, when sexual orientation and disease are linked, it can always attract people's attention, and the lives of minorities and Struggle always arouses the curiosity of the public. But more than that, it is also a record of mankind's struggle in the plague. In the face of death, all labels are insignificant. The movie begins with a very violent and unexplainable scene. The person in charge of the pharmaceutical company is giving a good speech, and suddenly a scene called "ACT". When UP was promoting the harm of AIDS, a girl said indifferently, "We are not gay, so we won't get sick." In fact, death is a very common thing, because there are as many deaths as there are births, and no one knows when it will die. arrival. But for people with AIDS, despair is more terrifying than death itself. In "The Elegance of the Hedgehog", the little girl Baroma said: "What matters is not death, but what we do when we die." Sean watched as his condition got worse and worse, knowing that the time of death was coming, and he lived in endless fear and loneliness at the moment of death and before death. Even if he is surrounded by people with the same illness like him, even if he is accompanied by a gentle lover who never leaves, he still cannot relieve his loneliness and vents through anger and resistance. Contrary to what I felt at first, our society needs such anger and resistance. Whether it is gays, sex workers or terminally ill patients, the voices of minorities cannot be drowned out. They live on this planet just like everyone else. Luckily or for the time being, we do not have the right and qualification to stand on the moral high ground to refute anything, until we really understand it. After watching this movie, the hairy girl also wants to snap her fingers, for the love of Sean and Nathan, for these people who are still in deep despair and still fight bravely. "You won't die if you fall into the water, but you will die if you sink in the water." The instructor finally watched the movie in person.
