Based on the 1968 stage play of the same name and the 1970 film adaptation, Jim Parsons played the protagonist Michael, and Zachary Quinto played Harold. Compared with the original version, the script content is the same, the lines are the same, and the film background is not in the same age. The difference is that the original version has a character who is not played by a homosexual, and a lot of new research has been done to show the origin and current situation of the LGBTQ community.

The actors performed effortlessly. As a marginalized minority group, gay men in crisis treated their differences in identity, gender, and class. They were discriminated against and rejected by others in the society. A group of gay friends gathered together to celebrate Harold's birthday in the era. Alan came as a heterosexual and began a stormy night. The new version still has a great impact.

Everyone confided their feelings in the truth or talk game. They would call out even if they knew it was a failure. The men they fell in love with in the past were heterosexual. This was a big blow to homosexual identity. Between gays There will also be contradictions in his own group. A free-spirited life is still a conservative disguise. Michael’s daily life of drunkenness and coma is turned upside down day and night, and his unscrupulous ridicule of Jews and blacks may be acceptable among friends, because each is hurt. pain. Larry and Hank have different concepts. In that era, heterosexual women were used to prevent men from seeing other women. Homosexuality is indeed easy to be exposed. While unrestrained, they still love each other in their hearts. The tragic story of Emory and Bernard, Emory's body For the disgusting kind of feminine Gay, for the struggles after coming out of the closet at the time, the doctor regarded his friendliness as his true love, and Bernard's chaos after drinking made him fall in love with him, but the other party did not agree.

Although Donald didn’t make phone calls, the whole film treats all these issues in a sensible manner. He loves Michael, and Cowboy appears as a gift. He has a handsome and young appearance. He is still a newcomer who has just come out all the time. Harold gives up on himself. Already prepared for suicide, exquisite life, very particular about appearance, he understands Michael’s inner pain, Michael looks more like someone trying to be his friend, the two are similar, Jim Parsons and Zach Ray Quinto is the best gay among the main cast and crew, and Jim's last performance, the crying act, bursts.

The drama between Alan and Michael is the most dramatic part of the whole film. Whether it is because Alan got in the car with a man many times when he was in college, he thought it was a deep cabinet and concealed his homophobia to such an extent, or he forgot about the past and cried for some reason. It doesn't matter just now that I decide to call his wife. What matters is what Alan is struggling with. Maybe he is bisexual in the background of the vague story. Michael must have had this experience before, and he has it now, but after admitting that he is homosexual, he came up with why he wanted to be heterosexual, talked with a psychologist, why homosexuality ended up with painful suicide, or a happy corpse, because homosexuality is easy. Get AIDS, because the inner religion does not accept homosexuality. When this problem is put into the modern era, many homosexuals still have similar experiences. Now the public is still trying to accept LGBTQ marginalized groups. This is a moving film. They are like Michael. Same, run hard towards the red light.
