"Beach Mouse" shows that drug-addicted youths in a conservative community are confused and at a loss about their identity and life. The gay film "Beach Mouse" that faces such a group is not the first. In "Moonlight Boy" The blacks in this group are also considered to be this group.
The homosexuality we saw was Apple’s CEO Cook, Miller and even Leslie Cheung’s bold appearance, and it was "After Breaking Up" and "Hunting Season" in big cities that are upright and happy in bars where people of the same kind gather together. But no one sees other people in the gay community. They are either middle class or at the bottom of society, and their social circles do not accept homosexuality. When they fall in love and get married in order to fulfill the requirements of the world, the expressions on their faces are extremely painful when they engage in sexual acts that they do not enjoy. They look for vent online, but they dare not even show their faces. They long for the life of a heterosexual couple, but they are cautiously afraid of ruining their lives. They are very happy and very happy in the face of unacceptable but unbearable sex. Fear.
Frankie finally returned to the fireworks show at 9:30 every Friday, because even if he deleted those sexually provocative photos because of guilt and got rid of his group of friends, he would still take a bunch of appointments. In the photos of the gun, another group of drug-addicting youths will still be found, and they will still go to the e-cigarette room to play after sleeping. He will still ask one person after another on the free beach at night to do things that are not visible in his heart. He is like a mouse on the beach, obviously a place of freedom, but not free; like the electronic horse in front of the shop, a coin can be used for fun, and manipulating his coin is a fearful and unacceptable self.
The sound of the last wave of the movie gave me the picture and the ending of the movie poked my heart. What you hear on the beach is the sound of the big waves hitting the beach, the shouts of seagulls in the open world, you feel freedom, and the beach The mouse on the board only flees in fear. "Beach Mouse" does not have the same protagonist who has finally accepted that he has lived a good life through struggle and love, like the "Beach Mouse". It is sad but very real, because most homosexuals in reality are like this. Cycle in such a terrible life, wanting to escape but being strangled by fear and desire, falling into this swamp, you can’t get out of it, no one knows you are here, no one will help you.
There is also a hidden display of this kind of group with a very unique perspective in the movie. It is Jesse in the drug-taking group of four. The director used a lot of lens language to convey. For example, at 55 minutes, he was sitting alone on the beach. And he didn't go into the sea with Frankie and the other three, and the camera also had close-ups of him (here, the actors have to complain about the acting skills, and the emotions and thoughts of the characters are not conveyed at all).
From the perspective of movie language, "Beach Mouse" is very ordinary. There are many cumbersome and redundant shots. The scene of the beach apology was too long, and I still had to complain that the actress was not enough in acting. There was no struggle and contradiction that the role should have on his face, and the picture had no impact. I think the soundtrack of "Beach Mouse" is still in place. It conveys the confused, overwhelmed, and scared emotions in the protagonist's heart very accurately, but the points used in the soundtrack are not good enough.
Saying "Beach Mouse" is an art film, it does not reach the height of an art film, and it has more depth than soap films.
Homosexuality is becoming more and more accepted, and gay films will become more and more like ordinary romance films. There will also be fewer and fewer films showing homosexual self-struggle and shit life in "Beach Mouse". I hope this will not be mine. Conjecture.
