Personally, I think this show is not about the love between Danny and Alex, nor is it about totalitarianism, but a story of truth and lies.
Danny started by asking Alex, are you out of the closet? Alex said no.
In the end, Alex didn't come out of the closet either.
Alex is a lie and rationality. He was deceived by lies since he was a child. He analyzed everything rationally with his genius brain. He was lonely and cold.
Danny is truth and intuition. He has been chasing the truth throughout the play, hoping to reveal the truth. There is a plot in the play where Danny takes the initiative to confess his promiscuity experience to Alex. He never rejects the truth and judges everything with his intuition.
The clips of the two of them together have always been soft yellow lights, exuding a warm atmosphere. A comment on station b said that the eight months spent with Danny was the only warmth in Alex's short, cold, lonely life.
Lies and truth meet and fall in love. Lies destroy the self in truth.
Alex created a powerful lie detector for Danny. This episode is very meaningful. At the end of the play, Alex's three lies are discovered. He didn't want to go to America, hated his mother and couldn't accept being separated from Danny. His life full of lies finally revealed the truth, and thus ended.
Of course, there are also insinuations about society. "They won't believe you", "No one is going to reveal the truth." "You are fighting alone."
Has the truth finally been revealed to the public? I don't think so. It's not that they don't know, they just don't want to know. Alex's truth has always been hidden in his heart. We also know the truth most of the time. But don't face it. The consequences of this behavior, like Alex's, are self-destructive.
In this way of thinking, most of the lines in the play have explanations.
