After reading a lot of film reviews, I also want to write something

It’s very incoherent to write so much for the first time, and the logic is chaotic. Please be sure to watch

a lot of film reviews as appropriate . I also want to write a bit, because it seems that many people don’t understand the whole story. Many film reviews are talking about fisher (male host’s roommate). Because the male protagonist fell in love with a transgender, and because he discriminated against homosexuality, he instigated the murder of the secondary two boys... If the story is like this, I don’t want to write a film

review ... In fact, the best portrayal of the whole movie is not the transgender female protagonist and the male protagonist. , But between the male protagonist and his roommate... I want to focus on the two people fisher and Glover
...
First, fisher told the male lead the story of women’s clothing when they were young (the detail here is that the fisher touched the male lead’s head, This is how you can see fisher’s eyes on the male lead), as well as the transgender female lead Adams’s “I saw him looking at your eyes”, and at the end, fisher said by himself, “I keep holding him with my arms, and I’m the last A person who does this" (in the second half sentence, the subtitles here will be "not in my style", the original sentence is "I was last person to do that")...All the above are all hints to the audience, fisher "loves" the male Lord (the love here is mixed with many elements)...
This kind of "love" is also expressed as an abnormal concern for the male lead’s emotional life...
Here we need to mention that in the general environment of the US military, American society is due to religious problems. The acceptance of non-heterosexuals is still not open, let alone the troops that prohibit homosexuals from joining the army. Everyone is clustered under the absolute range of patriarchy. Fishers have almost paranoid absolutes about their sexual orientation. The act of transvestism makes him arguably his most secret heart. When in a mainstream patriarchal society, he needs to maintain his role as a mainstream male. Even if he reacts to the same sex, he is repelling from the inside out. But he couldn't refuse this kind of attraction from the depths of his genes, so he took his teammates to transvestites. He likes to flirt with transgenders in vulgar language, but he also wants to be attracted to them. In the end, he can just be curious and just play. This kind of excuse prevaricates the past...
In several incidents, his help to the male protagonist made him feel paranoid towards the male protagonist and made him feel uneasy about the relationship between the male protagonist and transgender people. He was jealous and rejected this behavior... so he Seemingly unconsciously, he continues to stir up troubles between the male protagonist and the middle two youngsters. He wants to return the male protagonist to the mainstream society of patriarchy and return to the army... He thinks this is good for the male protagonist, correct... There are two paragraphs at the end. One is the painful cry of his death when he sees the male lead’s death, and the other is to firmly deny the accusation that he instigated the second boy to kill his roommate. OCD soldiers who have had transvestites subconsciously hate the male protagonist’s desire to leave him and the relationship with transgender people, just like he used to have his ex-wife and his son leaving him, and transvestite since childhood. Used to...Unfortunately, what he instigated this time was the second teammate Glover.

Glover is essentially a coward and cowardly. According to the patriarchal society’s traditional perception of men: there is a species! , And it is the same. A minor Glover abandoned by his family is eager to prove his courage, get rid of the image of a coward, and get the approval of mainstream men. This is why he would be like this when others laughed at his story of robbing the bank. Excited... And when the fisher taunted Glover for the last time, Glover's anger at this sense of shame reached its culmination, "If I don't teach him, I will be a coward, I don't want to be a pussy or a coward..." The idea should be the simplest logic of this secondary two teenager... In fact, the male lead is quite good for Glover, but the weaker the person, the more likely they are to pick the soft persimmon. Because of the weak, they dare not resist upwards, and to get rid of the weak. The image he killed an innocent person who was sleeping... At the end he cried and said, "I don't remember anything, I will be expelled from the military?" He showed cowardice and eager to show his masculinity when he finished killing...Two This performance is simply the biggest irony of this character.

I will not argue for fisher. He is just a selfish man who has distorted his heart in the mainstream patriarchal society. He refuses to recognize all his faults and problems and killed his friend. It also made a woman lose what she loved...

And at the end of the question and answer to everyone, when the transgender heroine Adams appeared as a friend, it made me feel helpless and depressed...

The whole film is not intended to portray someone as heinous, nor is it intended to express how great homosexuality is. I want the director to describe the deep heart of each character might want to express more ......
