1. It is the correct way for the story to change from an institution to an individual, allowing the protagonist to change from the face of illness to the face of death, and from social issues to the fate of life and death. We see the turbulent process of a person's life. At the beginning, HIV changed him, let him see the truth of the world - unfair, he became an angry young man, and finally, because of the disease, physical exhaustion and cumbersome treatment The process forced the young man to stop his anger and enter into deeper feelings and thoughts. In the end, he reconciled with his own destiny, enjoyed the last joy in his life, and went to death calmly. Teacher Xin Yiyun talks about "The Doctrine of the Mean":
Wait until we are triggered by foreign objects, such as listening to this class today, are you happy? Happy. That's because you have been triggered by external activities. In fact, your nature has this instinct of joy, anger, sorrow and joy. Therefore, this joy, anger, sorrow and joy are not added, but triggered by external things. When we see Yixing teapot, we can't put it down, and it feels triggered; when we see jade, we can't put it down, it's triggered; we're angry when we see social injustice, and it's triggered; when we see social injustice, we hang on it all day long, even if we come to listen to it. The class of the Sinology Club is not enough to solve the problem in your heart. At this time, you feel sad and angry, what should you do? To be an assassin, to kill, right? ... We say that the nature of joy, anger, sorrow and joy is inherently hidden in the heart. The Doctrine of the Mean calls this "Zhong", and then it is triggered by external things. Such triggering is not necessarily correct. Sometimes, we will be overjoyed, and sometimes we will be angry. If you go too far, sometimes there will be too much sadness and joy, and even some people are not happy, angry, sad, or happy, and their hearts are ashes or mean and numb. This is not the correct expression. If we can get it just right, it's called "middle section". The energy of the middle section is called "harmony". 2. When Robin Campillo made this film, he adopted a clear-cut attitude, which is why this film has no way to impress the world, but can only impress people in a considerable group. Think carefully about the relationship between the ACT-UP organization and the outside world in the eyes of Robin Campillo, which is all about resistance and conflict: for people who do not understand the situation (Figure 1, this picture is worth discussing), public opinion, pharmaceutical companies, the government, and the system. Moreover, they used what Milan Kundera called "moral judo," and after performing violence, they lied down to prove that they had no intention of violence, and then scolded others: don't use violence. I can understand that on one level these absurdities are a protective color of a fragile nature, but looking at the details, it seems that Robin Campillo is complacent about it, so in the making of this film, for me, Robin Campillo is just self-defense with self-circle. 3. BPM (120 battements par Minute, 2017) reflects such a social environment and government authorities: killing without teaching is called abuse; failing to keep tabs on it is called violence; slow ordering is called a thief; . 4. When Sean told the story of his illness on the bed, including underage sex, teacher-student romance, and several letters were hidden inside, but only HIV ignited. 5. On the day Sean died, Nathan invited Thibault to stay at home for the night - I never thought this scene was controversial, because it was a process that required companionship and comfort. If it was replaced by drinking coffee, going out for a walk, and exercising, it would all be the same. It means the same thing, but it's a more intimate and dramatic plot deal.
