seen many film reviews but I always feel that there are few Some what. I only share some feelings with you from one angle, without any criticism. Please forgive me for any inappropriateness.
"Plain Heart" seems to mean not only heterosexual tolerance and understanding of homosexuality, but also the face and equal treatment of the government and society. It should also include homosexuals themselves-to face one's own identity, orientation, and even illness with a "normal heart".
"The man who contributed to the victory of World War II was an Englishman who came out publicly. His name was Alan Turing. It was he who intercepted the German password. After the war, he committed suicide because he suffered endless discrimination as a comrade. Why don’t they teach this in school? Thanks to a homosexual who won World War II. If they did, maybe he wouldn’t commit suicide. You wouldn’t be so afraid of who you are, would you? Remember in this way, the one who leads everyone to win the war." —— Bruce's fear of his own orientation was more than once in the
NedWeeks
film. In his heart, he thought "I have been hated by others, and I can't make it more exciting to the public." "This is how we can win [possible] funding through recalcitrance." I believe most of them think this way. This mentality is not only caused by the status quo of society, but also by itself.
Socrates' proposition "know yourself" is to let us face our own identity, character, morality, and defects. "Know yourself" is the motto on the lintel of the Greek Temple of Delphi. Let me ask: Whether it is homosexual or heterosexual, has every individual ever asked himself "Who am I?"
Looking at it, social discrimination does not only exist in gay issues, but is everywhere—geography, origin, financial resources, and even appearance. If we always act as a weak person to accuse social injustices and pray for the mercy of others, then Never get the respect and understanding you want to have.
The value of Ned is that he can be fair and honest and demand equal treatment for the benefit of himself and the group. He emphasized his own orientation and encouraged everyone to show themselves and not only promise. In fact, it can be seen that he was not confident enough in himself at first, and these are all reflected in the details:
body shape-untie the shirt, and then carefully tie it up after seeing the muscular man.
Dancing-everyone invited but blindly dodge
or love-want to love but dare not love, only for a moment of happiness but still longing in my heart (evil brackets: group X)
but all because of the appearance of Felix and later The experience has changed, he has to know himself, fight for himself, express his anger, dissatisfaction with his lover, and desire to understand family affection. There are two places in the film that make me shed tears. I usually control myself and take a deep breath: Bruce was blackmailed in the hospital and in an inexplicable place while handling the body of his partner. The resentment, helplessness and sadness are uncontrollable. (Sorry for using the word "processing", I can't think of it anymore.) In the end, Ned and Felix's sad wedding, the two can't help but move. This reminds me of a piece of news I saw before: the elderly father waited until his wife died before telling his own orientation, hoping that he could survive this life with his partner, and the son would never understand and sever the father-son relationship. Father has tolerated his life for you, why can't he let his father live for himself when the end is near. Even if there is more tolerance and understanding between people, there will be fewer human tragedies.
After a lot of things, I can face myself more or less, and no longer justify my own orientation, because life is my own control and my attitude is my own control.
Want to vent your love, hatred and hatred, and show yourself freely, this is normal life. This is the normal heart.
