At least the so-called correction center can leave school at five o'clock

The reality may be more cruel than the movie. At least Jared has a mother who is willing to take him away. At least the so-called correction center can end school at five o'clock. The movie is still very smooth and smooth, and a few slow motions can quite arouse emotions. The story focuses on the seemingly insoluble contradiction between faith and sexual orientation. The three lines of correction center, family interior, and Jared’s memories are staggered. The final result should be a compromise with each other. Although the movie repeatedly mentions God and faith, the root cause of homophobia is actually social prejudice and ethical constraints. As the father of the pastor, the last sentence "I can't admit that I can't be a grandfather", It seems that faith has become a very useful excuse, and it has also become a reason for some people to deceive themselves. What the doctor said was actually the finishing touch of the movie (although it appeared in the first half), "You seem to have no choice. Remember, you have a choice." But Jared didn't understand at the time. The three people Jared met later in the correction center actually represent three choices: trying to confront reality (fat), deceiving yourself and absolutely obedient (played by Dolan), and rebelling in secret (played by Poke Ye) on the surface. . Finally, the fat man committed suicide. This is one of the answers.

Jared should be the fourth choice. He completely and absolutely resisted. It’s hard to say that he won, but in the movie he also achieved a better result, gained the understanding of his mother, and reached a settlement with himself. Although my father did not completely agree, he did not hinder him after all. Although the reality is not necessarily so beautiful.

In the movie, Jared sighed many times, and he really felt the same. The feeling of being overwhelmed with a big rock in his heart is really unhappy, very unhappy. It feels that the actors performed well in this detail.

Finally, although Piaoye doesn't have many roles in the movie, the song is really nice. In addition, the soundtrack in the movie is pretty good.
