The content of the film is actually very simple. Although many people like to use the official synopsis "A gay writer Louis returns to his hometown after 12 years of drifting, preparing to announce to his family that he is about to pass away", but in reality The plot of the previous film did not touch the content of the actor announcing that he was going to die to his family at all, and his gay identity has no practical significance. The film mainly shows that the hero suddenly returns home after 12 years away from home, and his mother, brother, and sister face the complex psychology of love and hatred that he has produced. If there is anything commendable about the handsome director Dolan in this film, it is that the part of the script that expresses the different personalities of the family and the family relationship is fairly delicate. The family was still arguing for the last minute. It calmed down in one minute, then conflicts broke out, and calm again, until the last family saw that they were about to reach a reconciliation, but the actor told his family that his decision to "leave" instantly detonated the conflict to an irreversible situation, and the film ended in tragedy. . The director Duolan uses a life-like plot to create plot twists and turns and conflicts and conflicts, which is very natural, showing the nuances of love and hatred between the characters. The performances of several star actors in the film are commendable, and the close-up of the camera is understandable, because the entire film is supported by the emotional atmosphere created by the protagonists’ delicate performances. The actors have control over the role modeling and emotions. great!

What maintains intimacy is not gain, but sacrifice; what supports the family is not love, but hate. Dolan continued to express his strong dislike of the family and his dependence on the smell of milk. The two ends of the dining table are two worlds completely distorted with each other, but the camera is close to everyone's expression, making people feel resisting, almost accusing the family of embarrassment, noise, hypocrisy and ineffective communication. I don't think this is Dolan's worst work.

I can't help but think of a streetcar named Desire. It's all about life's weak grace and sensitivity being destroyed by vulgarity, and family life is undoubtedly the best cutting board. I don't know how to tell it. Maybe it's especially empathy for this kind of story, and The lack of empathy is probably an important reason for the current predicament in life. The white lotus blooming in the cesspool intoxicates itself. In addition to the familiar MV Dafa, the hysterical stage play structure from time to time probably makes the actors super cool

Louis-Jean Knipper: There I was, after 10 years, well, 12, to be precise. So after 12 years of absence and in spite of my fear, I was going to visit them. In life there a number of motivations that are no one's business, that force you to leave without looking back. And there are just as many motivations that force you to return. So after all those years, I decided to retrace my steps. Take the journey... to announce my death. Announce it in person, and try to give the others and myself one last time, the illusion that I am, until its very end, the master of my life. Let's see how that goes.
