I have no doubt that "Boy Culture" may be based on someone's biography, because the characters in it are equally full even in supporting roles, and the various people and feelings are also delicate and appropriate. The film unfolds through two main lines and several auxiliary lines. One of the main lines is X and Andrew. Except that they are all boys, this is actually a typical love story. The United States, which advertises "freedom", has emerged in recent years as "open love". This trend has actually swept the world. But whether "open love" is based on the pursuit of mutual emotional freedom or an excuse to escape is an interesting question.
In "The Good Wife", Will Gardner and his friends agreed: If we have feelings, we will break up. In this society where money and patrons are supreme, feelings strangely become a non-sufficient and non-essential condition for the two to communicate. In "Boy Culture", X is proficient in dealing with "sex and money" transactions, but at a loss when encountering Andrew's "love and love" transactions. The love between the two is also like a road trip in the United States, full of confusion and unknown uncertainty. In the process of understanding and running-in, they try to find a suitable exit for both parties. Choosing to face or to escape is obviously much more difficult than the plot in the Hollywood Popcorn Romance movie series.
The other main line is the interaction between X and the 79-year-old "employer" George. If the last main line focuses more on each other's cognition of each other's feelings, then this line is each other's cognition of self-life and self-emotion. Through the love castle made up by George, X slowly changed his outlook on love, which also promoted the development of the emotional interaction between him and Andrew; and through X and Andrew’s feelings, George was hiding in the deep cabinet. She also gradually became brave and dared to face the possibility of the illusory love castle coming true. The exchanges between the two of them actually blended a lot of life and emotional advice, which was quite thought-provoking.
The connotation of the film is that it is not an assembly line work that in the traditional sense everyone likes to see it and forgets it. In fact, although the major characters are on the right track in their respective lives in the end, the many hints in the film still give viewers a lot of room for thinking. In the film, X has a line: "A Top, Thank God!", and in the conversation between X and George, it is not difficult for us to understand that he was in a psychological position that he felt when he was a child. Even now as a male prostitute, he is an offensive. When feelings come, he is more accustomed to the psychological positioning of receiving. At this point, we have to sweat for the chance that the little girl will find true love with Joey.
Like the love triangle between Joey and the man in the golden T-shirt in the film, in fact, the relationship between the gay community is really a bitter topic. They are given more confusion, loneliness, and hunger. These endless negative emotions have made the entire gay circle extreme and morbid, and this extreme and morbidity has intensified discrimination. Such a vicious circle has created the gay community in the world. Emotional embarrassment. Leaving aside the gay community, in today's proliferation of "open love", how to grasp a relationship is still a difficult problem for anyone. After all, if you have to endure the sudden distance, the nearness, the coldness and the heat of the relationship between two people, then what is the meaning of "love", an important factor that attracts two people together?
In addition, this film conveys a very interesting point of view, that is, it believes that two people are together not because they have a common hobby or a good match, but because they have completely different environments or personalities, so they are together. Attractive. I don't know if this comes from human curiosity psychology analysis or according to the magnetic theorem of "same level repels each other, but different levels attract each other". I personally think it makes sense, because the reason why the "mother bubble" is unsalable is also because GAY itself is not interested in boys in his own group. Many of the guys I have come into contact with are straight guys. This is another terrible and sad vicious circle! (In this way, the men in the GAY circle fall in love, and they have a little bit of sadness.)
