It seems impossible to imagine that this is a film about homosexuality, because from the beginning it is free from the entanglement of the general term "gay film". Either the theme of homosexuality, or the process of exploring same-sex gender identity, or the social, family, and legal conflicts that homosexuals encounter in their lives are the main lines.
Like "Philadelphia Story", "Boys Don't Cry", "Breakback Mountain" and "Brokeback Mountain".
In this film, the heroine Camille is placed at the critical point of eroticism, with austere theological teachings on one side and the mysterious circus of Luo Zhi's dream on the other. "It loves you to a degree that no mortal can match. This kind of love is very simple. It doesn't mind your successes and failures, beauty and ugliness." Patrice's persuasion to Camille's loss of her dog seems more like love Declaration: Career, appearance, status, these preconditions for ordinary people to choose a mate, what are they considered by "comrades"? Even "dignity is not as good as dancing with a lover"! Patricy's intrusion is like a prophet who provokes her full senses, guiding and developing, and the two will eventually work together to build a dream.
In the face of religion and theology, individualism once again prevailed. Accidental or inevitable? I can't think of a philosophical conclusion for the moment.
