It's just a personal impression. The writing is very messy, so make do with it. .
Serious spoilers! ! ! !
Since "Freedom Fall", it has been a long time since I had such a whole-hearted viewing experience.
Johnny, the protagonist of the movie, a hairy boy in his early 20s. Faced with the sudden coming of adult life and family responsibilities, I can’t adapt and try to escape. At this time he met a Romanian immigrant worker, Georgi. Mature, silent, stable, reliable, and very friendly.
The two met in a gloomy climate and on a harsh farm. Ambiguous emotions bloomed on the rough land. The primitive humanity and the primitive land were mixed together and became an unforgettable memory.
The young Johnny didn't know how to cherish, and didn't understand responsibility. The worm went to the brain, and had a relationship with another boy from a moment of love, a cheap relationship. Then Georgi found out, and left angrily, leaving the bewildered male protagonist alone with sadness. This is a good thing, you can learn to cherish it only when you lose it. Fortunately, this time it was lost, there is still a point of recovery. In the end, the boy learns to take responsibility and cherish his feelings. He not only gains growth, but also meets love.
The movie shows the dirty and messy original scenes of British farms. Through the screen, you can almost smell the feces and urine of cows and sheep.
The dim light, gloomy sky, dark soil, and brick houses create an extremely real environment in which the audience seems to be in it. This environment blends with the emotions of the characters and complements each other, making the progress of the story natural, with almost no trace of filming and performance.
The rustic language of the lens is actually the most touching. There are so many details in the movie, I will pick up a few imaginable and impressive ones.
At first, Johnny was throwing up in the bathroom in his underwear. It should be his normal state to stay up late at the bar. The lens gave him a close-up of his face. From the expression on his face, one can clearly read the pressure and exhaustion that do not belong to his age.
After the movie started, through the dialogue between him and his parents and the wild cannons in the carport, we knew that he was evading his mother's expectations (the mother expected him to take the responsibility of the family) and evading his father's criticism (the father felt that he was not doing well enough) ), evade the farm work, evade and establish contact with others (the artillery friend wants to further develop the relationship with him, he bluntly said "no").
After Georgi appeared, the film showed the character's personality through many details.
He lives in the carport at night. He carefully unscrewed the bulb and set it on the lamp, so that the warm light filled the room.
He is a poor man, but he loves chocolate.
He will patiently massage the weak lamb, and he will bring the lamb back to life.
He will add some condiments before eating...
The above details show that Georgi is a person with enthusiasm and expectation for life, or a person with a lot of sentiment. Not only can you endure hardship, but you can also have fun in it. His enthusiasm for life, in the cold and dark British farm, seemed warm and moving. When watching a movie, I was completely attracted by his charm. I want to be a person like him.
One night while shepherding the sheep, the two men exploded in sexual desire and staged a rough sex on the rough field. After that, the relationship between the two began to heat up. The next second sex was completely different. This time, they were not outside in the harsh environment, and the two were in the stone house, beside the warm fire. Georgi took Johnny's eager wrist and motioned him not to worry. He admired and stroked his young, worldly face at close range. Then take off your clothes one by one, slowly, not hurriedly or slowly. He let him lie naked on the soft thatch, admiring his body, touching his skin, and teasing his lust. Then the two people's faces slowly approached, one was breathing heavily, the other was enjoying slowly, they finally kissed together, and at that moment the male breath filled the nose. The color of this scene is warm yellow, warm fire, warm skin tone, warm tone, and warm mood. Everything indoors is in sharp contrast to the harsh outdoor environment.
At the end, when the two reconciled and embraced each other, Johnny leaned on Georgi's shoulder, greedily feeling the smell of his body, tears of joy flowed from the corner of his eyes.
On the car going home, Johnny finally fell asleep in relief. After the stress of the boat and car all the way, he can finally put down the big rock in his heart and sleep next to his lover.
At the end of the movie, the two people return to their familiar homes, open the door, enter, close the door, and the movie ends.
It stopped abruptly and made people feel endless.
