Gay and gay sex may be a heavy and stressful topic in my opinion. At least in the small Israeli town in the film, the pressure from conservative social traditions, families, and even religious communities makes people feel the protagonist is repressed and helpless or even painful. . j'etais mort, mais je suis vivant. I was dead before, but now I live. The boy who made him change from death to life, or did he break through the shackles of invisibility? Did he choose to be completely busy in the religious ritual of purifying himself? All the plots are not confusing to me, and can even be said to be simple. Anyway, the plot conveys the relationship between traditional values, homosexuality, and gay pain. This is not a new topic anymore, at least not only this movie is paying attention.
What really confuses me and loses my mind is the confusion of the three dimensions at the beginning. Watching this movie in a cinema not far from the Marais district of Paris is a great contrast and irony. Staring at the screen, the time and space in front of you can't help but jump to the comrade Marais block not far away. Those comrades from all over the world who are busy enjoying the weekend nightlife in Paris, don’t know if they are breathing freely and everywhere in Paris. The ambiguous air moving. I don’t know if they are lucky, but at least I think Paris is grateful for gays. Then Chinese culture and comrades appeared in my mind very well, especially those famous comrades allusions, Longyang, Short-sleeved, Fen Tao, etc., which are strangely secular and even history-ruling people. Evaluation and non-criticism are ambiguous acquiescence in themselves. The same-sex relationship between brothers and sisters has never been tolerated or even appreciated in open cities or in conservative rural areas. Of course, the premise is that the sexual behavior has not been discovered. Because sexual behavior itself needs to be hidden in the traditional Chinese cultural cognition, it is unclean, and public promotion is to be criticized by others. This is the same as the rejection of women's virginity, adultery, etc. in the inheritance of Chinese culture. In other words, homosexuality beyond friendship is not a subject to be cast aside.
The whole movie passed by jumping in different spaces in my mind. I discussed the plot with another friend who had also watched this movie. As expected, he just admired the handsome little boy and then There is no other interest. Maybe simple fun is better. I have to think so much about watching a movie. Apart from wasting my brain cells and writing about things that I guess no more than 5 people will see, I can't think of anything else.
