The unfinished end

Not to mention that wonderful neck licking, I nominate Lewis for another high-profile moment in this film. When Tania left, he went to the laundry to find Johnny. After Johnny refused her, he asked "Have you ever touch him?". The feeling when he said this, the kind of subtle temptation, showing off, and declaring sovereignty. It feels so handsome, I love it so much! Tania had a cold face at the time, I came to elope with you, but you showed off your love with my fiance (although it failed) to poke my sore spots?. This girl is also pitiful. She wants freedom, independence, and love. She is fed up with the piles of things around her father. However, she can't enter the little utopia of Omar and Johnny. She has to leave and search for it by herself. There are many issues involved in this film, but unfortunately they are not in-depth. It would be nice if the emotional scene was filmed longer. Omar is an ambitious man, he is like his uncle, but his intellectual father has always counted on him to go to university and accept knowledge. Where will this conflict eventually lead him, his father, and his "career"? His father mentioned suicide when he opened the film, and his mother also committed suicide on the rails...

Johnny, a man of love and justice, is unwilling to leave his friends, being caught in racist and nationalist political stances, and supporting and protecting his boyfriend, he will inevitably bear the fiercest collision in the end. At the beginning of the film, he was driven out of the apartment with a boy. In the end, when he was fighting with the group of people, he pressed the boy in the car. It was strange that they looked at each other for a long time. They were secret lovers before. or is there a friend relationship? Omar had already liked Johnny in school, even if Johnny was a fascist, why would he be so excited after meeting Johnny again. The relationship between Omar and Johnny felt that they were constantly turning upside down, and finally reached a balance under the more violent conflict from the outside world and the internal fragility. Johnny laughed at Omar in school before, and then Omar deliberately derogated Johnny at work, etc. They loved each other in their hearts, but they didn't love each other so honestly. In the end Johnny was leaving but was left behind. The scene where the two people splashed water on each other was quite healing and beautiful. I especially like the opening, opening, and the sound of the "gurgling" water that appeared at the end. It is a deep and quiet, secret and pleasant feeling, just like their feelings.

If the director shoots it longer and digs deeper into the problems he touches, it may become a more classic film, but unfortunately everyone is watching it for Lewis (anyway, I am, and he is really handsome X﹏X).
