I fully respect the theme of the film "Refusing to compromise, refuse to act, and live bravely". The male protagonist began to try to change himself in order to cater to his parents. He went to a certain organization to receive "brainwashing", but the more "oppressed" he became, The resistance is stronger, and the male lead’s father is a pastor, and the pressure of the male lead to come out is more than that of others. But under heavy pressure, the male protagonist rushed out of the shackles, chose to be calm, and successively won the support of his mother and father, and the ending was very satisfactory.
But for this movie, I also disagree with two points.
One is that the relationship between the male protagonist and Xavier took too little time (too much space for teaching a certain organization), and the progress was too fast. Participating in a painting exhibition not only found that each other was gay, but also almost fell in love at first sight. After a brief chat, Xavier proposed "stay with me", and then the two of them slept in the same bed. This encounter without the accumulation of emotions makes people feel more casual but lacking in reason.
The second is that the analogy of sticking out the car window is not appropriate. This clip that echoes at the beginning and the end of the film can be understood as getting rid of parental discipline, or it can be further magnified as breaking away from the rules of the world. There are problems of method and strength in discipline, and the problem of prejudice in the world, but can you question or even resist by not sticking out the window while driving? Although such an accident is a small probability event, but for more than two decades to feel the whistling of the wind at your ears and the resistance of the wind at your fingertips, is it a bit of looking for excitement and disregarding the danger? This analogy has negative effects.
