In the years of imprisonment, two gays fell in love unexpectedly, were defeated by real interests, and turned to kill each other. This is the basic plot of the story. However, the great Englishman satirized the hypocritical class difference with superb comedy in such a bloody story, and promoted the spirit of equality for all. What is even more remarkable is that we even saw true love in it. . I even think it's one small step for British film and television, but one giant leap for same-sex love. While all the films and TVs are trying to weaken the "same-sex" element of homosexuality, Norman's character makes people see the gay, or more precisely, human, magnificent side.
When Norman was answering questions in court, we saw that a person at the bottom of society used the most primitive logic to overcome the highest level of thinking representing the development of human civilization at the upper level of society. This advanced thinking was so shameless from the beginning, to attack Other people's personality flaws or moral flaws to distort the facts actually rely on the hypocrisy and face culture of this society. Therefore, when they meet Norman, who is "barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes", the truth itself and the concern for the situation of themselves and others become the best testimony. Norman's sympathy, empathy, and spirit of struggle here are contagious. It has to be said that this play has successfully improved the force of the play.
Norman walked out of the courtroom, proudly standing on the flashlight, proudly showing his beauty, without the slightest guilt or shame, as if for a gay declaration.
The last scene, Uncle Hugh's gaze. Surprisingly, the footage of Thorpe being abused ends up being released. This is another declaration moment, removing class and social status. In fact, everyone has suffered no less harm and discrimination. The love of Thorpe and Norman has been sublimated here. They are not enemies, but comrades on the same front. . When Norman finished his defense, Thorpe looked at him, nothing but surprise or surprise. He could not have imagined that such a weak chicken would do something that he never dared to do in his life, to break through what he never dared to break through in his life. Fences, let alone the people who threaten him the most, get the understanding and sympathy that he has never received in his life.
If this is a public moment of greatness, then the last is a moment of personal tenderness, across the invisible crowd and the bricks and tiles of the city, through the judgment of the earth and the condemnation of the soul, it seems to see the once young love again, Whether it is the same sex or the opposite sex, no matter what kind of hostility and malice you have experienced, after all, you have loved.
The show's own sense of age should have made it more acute when dealing with the topic of homosexuality, but the director and screenwriter subtly resolved it in a zhuang and harmonious way, but in the end it gave birth to a sense of tragic and solemn, which makes people unable to bear it. Live sigh, really high. Norman, played by Ben Meow, has been beautified invisibly, and it should not be so flattering in fact. In addition, most of the female characters in the play are very strong and resolute, which is really a big shining point.
Finally, I love Ben Meow, Meow Meow~
ps: Who knows what the background music was when Norman sat on the bus at the end?
