The youngest kid on the male lead team should also be the boy from the deep cabinet. This kid in white clothes has a very high attendance rate, and there are several close-ups. During the filming, the floating of a cloud was not unreasonable, which shows that Xiaobai is not a simple friend of a friend. Several audiovisual languages should be able to be verified, with a small technical analysis. Welcome to correct or add evidence
1. As a 3/4 member except for the male lead, Xiaobai does not share the picture space with the other two. The 20:48 and 1:18:50 sections of the film are particularly obvious. The first part is the scene of talking about the male protagonist’s "girlfriend", the two people are in the middle shot, friends X and Y are chattering non-stop, Xiao Bai is not in the picture; the second part is the paragraph of "online tuning", the same double Jing, You X You Y, the uncle who mocks the webpage, Xiao Bai is also outside the screen. The spatial location metaphors the relationship between the characters: the separation between the male lead and the other three, and Xiaobai's separation from the other three. They are not the same
2. The paragraph at 1:18:50 also testifies to this point of view as in the final narrative of the film. Xiaobai curled up and walked past-making the appointment failed. Here it is not so much that he is not careful, as it is to deliberately want to destroy-the same is the end of the world, and can't bear to worry about it. In the last paragraph, Xiaobai did not participate in the kidnapping of the white pink man, also for the above reasons.
3. At 55:00, the film is completely a sad passage for Xiaobai. The other three took off their clothes and hugged the sea, but Xiaobai sat down slowly and watched them chase the wind and the waves. This arrangement speaks for itself, Xiaobai considers himself the "other" of the four, and cannot truly integrate into the happy moments of his friends.
Regarding Xiaobai, the most impressive thing is these arrangements, which are purely audiovisual invisible expressions, very clever. It should be believed that Xiaobai, like the male protagonist, feels that he is the "unique" one, and dodges painfully because of the difference. This movie is not so much a story of gay men’s deep cabinet, as it is a story about loneliness. Because of fear of loneliness, the male protagonist and Xiaobai have to work hard to integrate into the world of XY, and because of fear of loneliness, the male protagonist constantly seeks out friends on the Internet.
The narrative of the film is basically the structure of the cycle of'approaching-beaches-daily life-making appointments-beaches', which may not be neat, but the beach is a node that connects two worlds, no matter day or night, no matter whether it is with A friend is still a friend of artillery, and when the sea breeze blows, he is not the lonely one.
