Beijing Des organized a movie viewing event, which was supposed to be a big screen screening in a small theater. When I went there, I found that it was only a room on the fifth floor, and I used the computer to connect the projector. The source of the film is obviously downloaded from the Internet, so it is a bit surprising that subtitles of gambling advertisements will slip out during the playback. The destination is a national LDBT sign site, and organizing such an event is worthy of recognition, but cultural promotion in the form of piracy will always make people a little awkward.
The film focuses on the struggles of marginalized and disadvantaged groups, but the stories surrounding this group of HIV-infected people are not all dark struggles and hopeless fears. In it we saw the wanton and joy of the parade, the anger and wisdom of the struggle. And the most important thing is what his relatives and friends discussed after the death of the protagonist Sean: courage, which is the essence of the survival of all vulnerable groups, and also makes the discussion of "120 Strikes" sublime beyond LGBT and HIV.
The subtitle translation for watching the source is rather obscure. J'y vais means "I'm leaving" and is translated as "I'm going there". And Nathan told Sean that he had not had a "Baiser" for five years because of fear. The translation given by the subtitle was that he had not kissed for five years. Another meaning of Baiser was having sex, and the latter should be more accurate here. Some comments did not understand that Nathan had sex with others after Sean's death. Perhaps the director wanted to express that Nathan really overcame his fear of HIV after Sean's death.
The event was limited to 30 people, and there were more than 20 people who went. The 140-minute film is actually rather dull, but most people persisted until the end and then dispersed. In today's soil, it is somewhat ironic to discuss struggles and movements. However, the yearning for equality and beauty should one day sprout and break ground.
