This is a small but precise film. It may be because the cultural gap and the gap between the times are a bit serious. In fact, I didn't understand many places, but long live love! ! !
(The following are some scattered thoughts after watching the movie)
The title is made into washing machine style subtitles, which is very interesting. It shows the British in the 80s. Part of the plot, scene design and the overall filter of the movie are reminiscent of Clockwork Orange and the Six Heroes of Light Pig. DDL is really wonderful, the name of OMO. It's cute to type in capitals.
Although the plot of the non-love part of the film is simple, because it describes the situation of a race that I don’t know much about in faraway Britain, I don’t understand much...and it doesn’t resonate.
The Omar family are Pakistani and Pakistan is mostly Muslims, but they always feel that they are not like them. I suspect that they may be Sikhs, but this does not affect the viewing of the movie. In short, this is a group of people who are still close despite the conflicts and frictions. The uncle has been helping the ambitious Omar. The place where he reunited with his brother at the end is also very touching. Although he has a lover, Rachel, I think he In other respects, he is a good person.
The beginning of the meeting with relatives reminded me of the warm scene of relatives gathering when I was a child, as if I was there too, kind and a little disgusting, and I would still be happy to get together, and I rarely grow up, grandma. After passing away, even less, almost nothing.
Another interesting character in the film is Salim. On the night Omar reunited with Johnny for the first time, he was drunk in the car and was intimidated by the British Punk. If it weren’t for Johnny, it would be a big deal. Afterwards, in a similar situation, he drove on the foot of one of them and eventually caused the laundry to be smashed. In these two episodes, the power status of Salim and Punk was adjusted.
There is nothing in the movie about Omar and Johnny's previous love experience, but some conversations can still spell out some fragmentary memories of the past. Omar is a new generation of Pakistani immigrants who are more British. They can’t speak Urdu. The English accent is round and round. In addition, once he asked his uncle about something in Pakistan, his uncle asked him not to ask him where he hadn’t been. It can be inferred that Omar was born and raised in the UK, and he and Johnny had known each other at the age of five, and the proper childhood sweethearts did not run away for a long time.
When Papa went to the laundry, we could see that Johnny respected him and said that he had received a lot of advice from him when he was a child. However, Papa asked why Johnny became a Fascist. Johnny was speechless. According to the conversation, he was speechless. It should have been an anti-immigration demonstration, and Omar and Papa were present. This incident has hit Omar and his son a lot. Johnny himself seems to regret it. He and Omar may have broken up because of this incident. Up. So I think he is so devoted to helping Omar run the laundry, besides the love factor, he may also feel guilty.
Speaking of the part of love, the film is really hot. I saw Brainorgasm directly in the place where I flirted a few times. The first kiss under the dim light is really beautiful (sigh). The hugs and licks in the street during the laundry decoration , The sweet details of the two getting along (Tania should upgrade her Gaydar), the sorrow of the lover's engagement, the "Have you ever touched him" that declares sovereignty to Tania, plus the DDL face, the sweetness is bursting Watch, I saw half downstairs to buy a candy bar.
But there is nothing wrong with Tania...should be kinder to her...speak clearly!
The film also discussed the same-sex issue, but it was not serious. It also mentioned other issues in the UK at the time, such as immigration, class, and Punk, but they were not in-depth. The point is to stop. This is actually good.
