To be honest, this movie is not my favorite gay-themed movie (my favorite is the shelter and the wedding party~~), but it certainly touched me at this special moment.
The most touching thing is not the happy ending at the end, nor the warm clips in the film, but the coolness of the world interspersed in these warmth. Whether it's Patrik's resistance to Goran and Sven at the beginning, or the neighbor's husband intentionally not inviting them to the community party; whether it's a cute foreign baby calling "faggot, faggot" to spoil them It was the same child who rushed into the consultation room and pulled out the vaccine that Goran had just injected, and warned Goran not to "touch" his child again.
Maybe this is the real world, even in Sweden, a country that has agreed to same-sex marriage and even adoption of children by same-sex couples; even in Europe, a continent that's more blooming than America, basically in the countries I've been to In every city of , you can always see at least a couple of little gay couples walking down the street like no one else.
Now it seems that maybe it's my memory bias, maybe it's just reality that is deliberately avoiding me or those real-life pains that I'm deliberately ignoring.
Allowing same-sex marriage is nothing but respect for one's way of life, and even I've always seen Europeans agreeing to same-sex marriage as an inherent indifference to others. For most ordinary people who are not so keen on discussing their religious beliefs, who do you like, who do you spend time with, do you marry, does your union meet the God's definition of marriage, WHO cares? As long as we each walk on the track of our own life, it is good that the well water does not make the river water. But if, when you actually appear in his life one day, most people's reaction may be like the neighbors in the film: I'm sorry, I understand, but I don't accept it, please stay away from my life, everyone works hard Peace of mind, maintaining a false peace on the surface, there are indeed turbulent undercurrents in private.
Just as Goran wants to prove that little gays can have a beautiful and ordinary family life, with three bedrooms, gardens, children, future, and eternity. But the neighbors want to prove that their assumptions are true. These faggots with pedophile tendencies will go on as long as they are men. How can they have a happy family life.
This tug-of-war between reality and ideal is silently hibernating, going on, continuing, waiting for a breaking point.
I have seen and heard too many stories that are too beautiful, such as the happy ending in the shelter and the wedding banquet, such as the "warm campus/urban essay" or "the loyal dog attack and the queen shou" by all kinds of little rotten girls. , but the reality is still in front of us, many people choose to ignore the ostrich policy, and many people choose to hit the south wall and then turn back, staged a drama where the prodigal son will never change his life.
Some time ago, a friend mentioned that she and a bunch of little girlfriends were having dinner in Wangfujing. They were bored, and someone on a whim took everyone to Dongdan Park. According to her description, there were many people gathered on a dark hill. ..man.
What is the future? Where is the future?
Now that I think about it, campus life is indeed beautiful. Even if everyone knows the special orientation of a certain classmate, it is only after tea and gossip that they will come up and talk about it, despise his "promiscuous" life, and predict who his newest boyfriend will be.
Or as he did before, under the guise of a good friend, he was "strumming and cheating" outside, no matter how everyone guessed, no matter how sidelined, he just insisted and would never admit it. Knowing it with reason and moving with emotion, maybe you can draw a comrade to your own front to help you explain to many people who are unfamiliar with you and dare not ask you related questions directly, but are "unscrupulous" behind the scenes. .
But, when we walk out of the campus, when we enter the society, what are we facing? If we really meet someone, someone who is willing to be opposite, can we still live together, eat together, go shopping together on weekends, and watch movies together like we do now? Maybe before 30, but what about 40? 50 years old?
Maybe the car must have a way to the front of the mountain, maybe we should have a little faith!
Perhaps there will always be moments like the one in the movie where the ideal shines into reality.
It's just that everything is possible.
