Zach’s loneliness is obvious. All kinds of pressure are coming at the same time. The burden of life makes him almost collapsed, but no one can seek warmth and comfort; Cody’s loneliness is sticking to his uncle and saying "you're my daddy, you" 're my daddy'; the gentle Shaun doesn't seem to worry much, but the work is not going well, and he feels it is rubbish when he writes it out. Zach fell in love with a dilemma of choice and seems to be unable to respond to him; Jeanne uses various reasons to restrain him With Zach, because she knows that a person is lonely, and men will abandon her and leave loneliness to her, but her younger brother will not, but after repeated requests and temptations, they leave hurt and hurt each other. The loneliness left behind...
"When you painted these (who was with you)?" "Nobody."
Why is this city so lonely? Even if the sun, the beach, and everything look so beautiful, but you can go around, why do people always feel helpless when struck by loneliness?
Looking at the graffiti on the wall being erased bit by bit, it was as if I heard Zach's heart crying, the sun was shining warmly, but it felt so cold. The paintings on the wall, stroke by stroke, are devoted to all of Zach's feelings, witnessing his sweetness and joy, as well as those dreams, but they are so fragile that they will be shattered in an instant. So I feel the hardships of life and the loneliness of a person.
This feeling is the same whether homosexual or heterosexual.
Fortunately, it is a tender ending. Love finally healed all the pain, struggle and loneliness. Love has become a refuge for lonely people, blocking the coldness of loneliness, leaving only the warmth and tenderness of the true feelings when hugging and kissing.
I like watching Zach and Shaun spend the first night together, the smile when driving, the expression when graffiti, happy so that everyone remembers the sweet heart palpitations when they fell in love. And Zach's smile on Shaun's bed lined with white sheets, it turned all sentient beings upside down. In the film, there are many episodes of Zach driving a car or meditating on the beach, sometimes sweet, sometimes sad and sometimes anxious. Trevor Wright's performance is really good, natural and true, and every time it affects the viewer's feelings.
Watching this film, we can also see the change in the public’s attitude towards homosexuality. From the early years of homosexuality movies, most of the movies were based on AIDS. The image of the general public in the movies also showed a kind of rejection or hypocritical coping. Nowadays, gradually In fact, there is a more tolerant understanding in movies, such as Gabe, Tori, and Jeanne before leaving. This is really good. Warm movies need such warm support and understanding.
The protagonist’s inner struggle has changed from mostly expressed as an anxiety, fear and rejection of identity to a sense of uncertainty about the so-called "unknown life" of the so-called new. This is not just the comrades facing identity. The psychological state of identification also includes the desire for social identification and the love and acceptance of important others. This is even more for all people in life-men, women, homosexuality, hetero, Bi, transexual, androgynous, young, The old, wait, etc.-the problem everyone faces, "you don't belong to people forever." "then why bother?" "is that worth?" Unknown speculation and panic will always strike, and people are making choices every day. At this time, everyone will be vulnerable and lonely. The only shelter is love, love between lovers, affection between relatives, and only love is a strong and warm refuge for people who are tortured by life.
From this perspective, films in recent years are gradually trying to express a deeper meaning that touches everyone in life than pure gay films.
In addition, the bed scene part of this film was very well filmed. From Zach's struggle on the rooftop before he went to find Shaun, to the two people lingering together on the bed, they used fierce drums to express the character's inner excitement and the fierce ideological struggle. There was a gentle atmosphere between the two. This American actor's same-sex passion drama is really natural, and it seems that all of them can bend. hehe.
Although the plot of the film did not fluctuate greatly, it was also rich in content, the actors performed well, and the music was appropriate. It is worth recommending.
