Comrades too

I believe that there are many ways to express an idea. I also believe that the narration of the story need not tend to be heavy. Therefore, I would like this kind of fresh film. In this type of movie, the director may not be good at telling stories, but the role of the story must be clear. Immediately the audience has a brain and can clarify all the stories by themselves.

How to explain this story. Like its name, it happened during a summer storm. It contains the friendship of a pair of buddies and the emotion of two couples. It also contains a kind of friction between two rival teams in a sports game, and along with this friction, someone intervenes in the original simple emotional clues. Therefore, the director must not only make it a romantic movie, but also a gay movie, and even an inspirational movie. Judging from the effect of the film, the odds of winning the romance film far exceed the other two.

Tobi is a boy who relies too much on his best friend. He can't pretend the classification of gay and straight in his mind. In his cognition, friendship and love can be exchanged equally. Therefore, he has always regarded some of Achim's words as sweet words, and under all conditions requires the other party to be able to implement it. Then, Achim is an obvious straight man. Compared with a friend who he considers to be his own, the girl he loves can be equally important, but compared with a comrade who has bad desires for him, his love can override Above. The so-called straight men are those who cannot tolerate themselves being marked as gay. In their perception, being seen by men is like being overwhelmed by men, which will make them feel ashamed from the bottom of their hearts. The violent reaction after Achim was gently kissed by Tobi can be seen in general. In the movie, there is another straight man named George. He is handsome, from a wealthy family, has a simple ambition to become a captain, and has a stubborn straight male mentality. Even after being kissed by a man, he yelled and cried, and hid. Wish to meet people. George and Tobi are able to cherish each other to a certain extent, which is indeed an ambiguity between men.

In order to prevent the entanglement between the two boys from becoming single, the director changed the style of a rowing team into a gay team. This team adds a lot to the movie. Including CC, strong, melancholy comrades. I think it’s a mischief. I think the gay team is very cute, and even when they play, they subconsciously want them to win. In the movie, the gay team seems to belong to a kind of funny character, indestructible, can resist any contempt. From this point of view, the director is well-intentioned. He tried his best to make the image of comrades normal and more sunny, because they are no different, and even more persistent than straight men in some ways.

I admit that the photography of the movie is amazing. The so-called fresh and clean style can be reduced to zero without photography. The movie editing is also very neat and tidy. That storm, no matter how great the psychological changes of the people it affected, even if some once beautiful scenes were ruined into depression, it could still cause some turbulence. In the same tents, lakes, bamboo terraces, and sheltered places in the forest, everything that had happened was blown away by the gale. The next day, Tobi began to admit to everyone that he was a comrade and resumed his best friends with Achim. It seemed that all the wounds were gone. However, in the last scene of the movie, Tobi gets off the bus alone, who knows who he is thinking of when he is standing.

Finally, I want to talk about the slightly melancholy boy in the gay team. His eyebrows can seduce people very much, together with his kindness, but for some reason no one takes it. He was knocked down by Tobi in an effort to conceal their relationship and injured his arm, but an hour after the incident, he took Tobi casually and comforted the other party's pain. It can be seen that the director does not know how to embody the beauty of people. It's just that people will always be uglier in the face of things they can't get.
