Homosexuality is very "art"

When I watched the first half, I thought, this is really the dream life most gay men have when they are old. Ian really acted like most gay men in my mind, horny and funny. As the director continued to intervene in Frankenstein movies, and Mr. Whale's scenes during World War I, he also began to become more and more neurotic. In fact, he is very empathetic, like someone who doesn't like himself, and while constantly trying to keep in touch with him, he has to pretend that he doesn't care. In fact, I can't see how difficult and lonely the movie is to express homosexuality, because these things may be the same for heterosexuals. In the movie, it is said that people's discrimination and incomprehension of homosexuality, but I don't think Mr. Whale is much influenced by these. There are still some places that are not very understanding and doubtful, such as why Mr. Whale suddenly started to lay hands on Clayton, and wanted Clayton to strangle him. Did Clayton like Mr. Whale in the end? I once again lament that love is really a theme that humans can never avoid. Whether you are "elegant" or "vulgar", "weird" or "normal", we all desire to love and be loved.

    The film won the 71st Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay and was nominated for Best Actor and Supporting Actress. Loneliness has turned oneself into a beast, so that money cannot fill the deep chasm of desire. The intentions of the director and screenwriter are not well understood. Maybe that lonely person is so difficult to understand. But the gardener's words and deeds are also incomprehensible. Maybe the evolution into a monster in the rain at the end of the film is the explanation?

    I always thought Grandpa Gan was quite tall. It turned out that Frodo was too short. Orz was too hungry in this movie. They are all crooked melons and jujubes...
