The performances of the three leading actors are outstanding. Troy Garity is really deep into the play. He didn't feel like the kind of performance that would make people see that he was acting. He gave me the feeling that he was Barry Winchell. Especially when Barry collapsed and cried, the feeling of forbearance and helplessness portrayed a three-pointer. Shawn Hatosy put Fisher's jealousy, possessiveness, and gay identity in the deep cabinet particularly well. Not to mention Lee Pace, the stunning beauty, the subtle emotions and details that are unique to women, he performed vividly. His Calpernia Addams will not make people feel disgusted with transvestism at all, will not make people feel like Drag Queen, but a real woman, beautiful, elegant and respectable. And Calpernia Addams herself is such a beautiful woman.
Jealousy, one of the seven deadly sins, Fisher committed this felony. It was his jealousy and his possessiveness that ultimately led to the tragedy, and a young life just disappeared forever. Not to mention that it is still the one he loves.
To be honest, in this movie, in fact, the male and female protagonists cannot be regarded as homosexuals. The real homosexual is Fisher. He is a homophobic homosexual in a deep cabinet. The reason for homosexuality should be that when he was young, his sister and mother dressed him in girl's clothes for a long time. After all, everything that he was exposed to in his childhood had an impact on people for a lifetime. The reason for the homophobia is that when I was young, my classmates found me wearing my sister’s underwear, and was ridiculed, leaving a shadow in my heart. The second is that he is in a military camp where comrades are discriminated against. The military has a "Don't ask, don't tell" policy for comrades (it seems to have been cancelled in 2010). If he is found to be gay in the military, it is basically To be kicked out of the barracks. The combination of these reasons made him terrified of being discovered as a comrade.
Fisher has always liked his roommate Barry Winchell. If it weren't for him, Barry wouldn't be able to see Calpernia. Fisher liked Barry, but he wasn't sure if Barry was gay like him, so he took his comrades to the bar full of transvestite performances and probed Barry by the way.
Barry: "It's Gay?"
Fisher: "It's a test."
Barry: "What to test?"
Fisher: "Sexual orientation."
Barry looked at Calpernia who was performing on the stage and was fascinated. Fisher gave Barry a meaningful look.
He always cared about Barry. Barry, who had just entered the army, was so tired that he gave him a piece of chocolate to recharge his energy; after hurting him, he accompanies him nervously to the infirmary; he helped Barry complete the gun guide; he touched Barry's face gently. But he was afraid of being discovered, saying that this was a concern among comrades-in-arms.
Fearing to lose, he told Barry as soon as he got out of the bar, "You can't come here behind my back. I don't worry about you being with these comrades." Fear of losing, so he used the so-called "loyalty between men" to restrain Barry.
Seeing Barry come and go without a trace, the jealousy he couldn't get made him anxious. He was angry with love, said uncontrollably insulting Barry, and encouraged Glover to report Barry. It was also his jealous tone at midnight after he was drunk. Glover raised the baseball bat in his hand and threw it at Barry. The rainy night was too quiet, only the sound of knocking the head was left, and the shadow of Glover losing his mind was reflected on the wall, so terrible. With blood splattered all over the floor, Barry, who was only twenty-one, disappeared forever. It makes people gritted their teeth with regret.
Jealousy makes people blind and irrational. It was Fisher's possessiveness that pushed Barry farther and farther, which swallowed Fisher and took away Barry's life. The suffocating love can't bear it.
Glover, a young man who is not deeply involved in the world and is in the blood of adolescence. Adolescent teenagers look forward to proving their abilities, smoking, drinking, fighting, doing adult things, hoping to be recognized by adults. So when Glover told his comrades that he had robbed a bank, the comrades looked at his thin body and treated him as a joke. 被质疑能力的Glover愤怒了，不红青红皂白地揍了好意劝他的Barry。It was also the impulsiveness of the teenager, and was easily controlled by Fisher's few words, which caused a tragedy. "Are you going to be beaten by a damn gay?!", he took up his club to prove his ability...
Barry Winchell, a polite, kind, brave and tolerant soldier.
I always felt that Barry treated Calpernia as a woman, not a man or transgender. As soon as he entered the bar, he was deeply attracted by the beauty of Calpernia. Later, when he was making out in the dressing room, he remembered that although Calpernia is a female, her male organs are still there. Unacceptable for a while, he fled the dressing room. Calie left alone looking at her body in the mirror, which is different from ordinary women, in despair. Many men who have dated her are discouraged because of her special body. Love, why is it so hard?
After finishing his thoughts, Barry finally came to Calie's apartment again, and his arrival made her feel at a loss.
"Do you know the consequences of being with me?"
"I don't care." The
brave and tolerant Barry finally accepted, even though he knew that the military does not allow homosexuality. Why is he willing to take such a big risk? It's pure and simple, He loves her.
Even if he had been insulted for a long time in the army, he didn't mention a word and endured this grievance alone.
Calie: "I knew it would happen! You have a new love?"
Barry: "Don't
talk nonsense." Calie: "I'm just curious, is it a man or a woman? If it's a man, at least I will help you out. ."
Calie: "Is it your roommate?"
Barry: "What are you kidding, he's straight!"
Calie: "What the hell are you?"
Barry's tears are about to fall: "I don't know what I am, please."
Calie: "Then Okay, don't use me to figure out your sexuality!"
Barry finally collapsed: "I don't know what you guys want me to do! I just hope everyone is fucking happy! I know it sounds stupid... ."
Calie: "I'm sorry..."
Barry who couldn't stop the tears of grievance: "I really want you to participate in the competition. I know that my heart will follow you and cheer for you."
But he can't. Go...
because his damn army is singing the depressing song: "Homosexuality, homosexuality, just on the street"; because of the damn "Don't ask," for the comrades who joined the army. Don't tell” policy; because once he is found to be a comrade, he will be kicked out of the army.
I can't forget what Barry said the moment he collapsed.
"I don't know what I am, okay."
He just fell in love with a person and how important gender is to him.
His only wish is to live a simple and happy life.
If one day, we don't need to use the words "heterosexual," "homosexual," and "bisexual" to describe how good a relationship should be. Instead, just say "this person (name) is in love with this person (name)", don't use so many words to distinguish.
Isn't it all because of love that two people can be linked together?
Love is the best thing in the world, please don't destroy it.
