Two men•one child•a dog
looks intolerable, but I like it very much. Keep it simple and suggest something.
Gay movies are not too few in the world, and "Broken Arms Mountain" has set off a craze for gay movies. The audience not only includes gays and rotten girls, but also attracts people who love movies from the general public.
This film seems to be my favorite in my mind. Speaking of "most", I presupposed a comparison. Yes, there are indeed many similar films to be ranked in my mind immediately, so I will simply compare it first.
Let's talk about "Brokeback Mountain" first, Ang Lee is indeed clever, so it goes without saying that Oscar's affirmation. But to be honest, I did fall asleep after only half an hour the first time, which is not a good evaluation. In other words, Ang Lee did use the Chinese way to shoot American Westerns, not to mention being a sturdy cowboy farmer, a factor that says little is cool, and other links are telling the image of a tough guy. However, in fact, Li Ang actually photographed two implicit men. China has said that since ancient times, the Chinese style of "Broken Arms Mountain" can be regarded as Li Ang's realm. I admire and admire it more, but it feels so far away that I can't touch it.
Let's talk about the "Love of Siam" that is now booming. Recently, I feel more and more that Thai movies are beginning to go out of their own way, anyway, the standard has improved a lot. The Siamese film talks about youth, of course, it also includes family affection factors. The topic of gay is in the aspects of two little guessing, self-determination, and balancing family relationships. It is considered a youth-type gay film, and the filming is a bit deep. However, after reading it, except for the moving music, the others seem to be in a young age-not mature enough.
The "Seventeen-year-old Sky" that I crazily liked before now seems to be just a colorful bubble, which greatly satisfies everyone who can be yy, and then sits in heaven and does not want to get down. The film went straight to the theme. The two boys started to talk about love and so on without much trouble in self-identification, and then added lively and funny elements, which concealed the identity of the young tooth of the gay film and fooled a bunch of people. , Of course, this kind of fooling looks beautiful, at least it gives people hope for unknown reasons.
"The Evil" is brought into the discussion, of course, there is a relationship with Bai Xianyong. Of course, there are also many people who have been obsessed with this show for many years. I remember a super super red gay in Beijing who said that whenever he was in a bad mood, he would take out "Evil Son", only watch the first episode, and watch that. The picture of the boy being kicked out of the house by his father. Of course, to talk about comrades, this drama has gone a bit farther. It is young and old, and the perspective is multi-perspective. The protagonist is just a narrator. He doesn't have many roles when he looks at the people around him. The survival problem has become a heavy part, but it directly crosses the big problems of identity, love and so on. I think this is a shortcoming in the gay drama.
Back to the topic. "Want to Cover the Tide" focuses on the lightness and liveliness that Americans are good at. It has audiences at the beginning. It is a common route for youth commercial films. I don't hate this anyway.
Afterwards, Zak’s problem with the director was still fine, which contained what I thought was the most critical issue of self-identification. Mature films should not escape this point. Perhaps I look forward to such a layer in the field of vision: You grow up and In the same environment of everyone, when you find that you are different from your buddies and you prefer the same sex, I think that any boy has doubts, fears, disbelief, etc. This should be more important for gay. I would like the movie to try to touch it head-on, instead of skipping, covering up, and rushing.
Zak has a girlfriend. After spending the night with Shane, he was in anxiety. Coupled with the spur of his sister and nephew, Zak fell into a mystery on this issue, the mystery of his own identity, the mystery of educating children, and of course the mystery of family relations. , All kinds of contradictions are intertwined, combined with a protagonist to discuss, this is brave, and it is also a place where the gay movie progresses.
Luckily, a lot of ingenuity in this film also attracted the audience.
The child problem is one of them. The erosive life of the sister made the little boy lose his motherly love when he lost his father, so this uncle played a lot of roles, and the film handled it well. It gave Shane and the child a spark, which promoted the development of the plot.
Zak's brother and Shane's brother are also very interesting. It is a perspective of gay friends. Not many appearances, but it has played a role in the director's values. First, he bothered that his brother was gay, but he did not resist. Second, after he found out that his best friend was gay, he summed it up with "we are still brothers". This is what the director wants to say. Gay is not gay. Does not affect the issue of friendship. This can be a reference for many people in reality, or it is also a reaction of reality.
Sister Zak is also very important in the film. Family affection runs through, they are people who have to rely on each other, like Zak said to her sister, "You were abandoned by a man, but you still know that I am the only person who will not abandon you." Then the sister’s disapproval, first thought that gay was not good, secondly thought that the child’s growth should not be gay, and finally felt that the family’s reputation should not be corrupted by gay. The elder sister is a representative of opposition, but the tolerance and reflection given to her by the director is very humane, no matter what, she is still Zak’s sister, she will hope her brother is happy, this is what the director wants to say.
Shane's charm goes without saying. He is regarded as a leading role in gay movies, but he is more sensible, more natural, and more appropriate.
In terms of plot, art, surfing, and music all play a role, and each is an element that adds wings. I especially like the boosting role of the music in the film. In the only sex scene of the two protagonists, the rock and roll in the background continuously brings "sex" and audience emotions to the best. When Zak was in doubt and anxiety, there was a guitar in the background, and the sad male voice was just like his mood portrayed, and when he sang, there was a long and strong feeling. Zak's sense of loneliness increased, the sense of contradiction increased, and the outline of the character Also plump up.
In the end, the child followed the two men, a sandy beach, sunny, and then surfboards, flying saucers, and running dogs. Is this a happy ending?
I was thinking, what will happen to a person's growth without maternal love? Also, when a person grows up and leaves his parents, will there be a missing piece in his heart?
I think about happiness again. This film reminds me a lot. It is close to me and looks warm.
