The protagonist Patrick is a San Francisco video game designer. Although he is 29 years old, he has only had a short and failed relationship. He can be described as a rookie in love. Motivated by the news of his ex-boyfriend’s engagement, he was eager to prove himself by leaving the one-way world. With the encouragement of two friends in the circle, Augustine and Frank, he started his journey to find the other half. However, due to inexperience and inexperience in the world, he failed again and again, fell into wandering and perplexed, and constantly "searched" again, but he was always a rare man. But fortunately, in this constant search, he gradually realized that it was not the fault of others that caused his singleness, but that he was far from ready to fall in love. The previous lesson made him no longer the original young Patrick.
And this process is what the whole "Xun" wants to express in Xiaopa, what a comrade who is new to love is looking for, what he will encounter, and what will he gain. Xiaopa’s situation and experience reflect every problem we will, are facing, or have ever faced. When we first taste the taste of love, we will unsatisfactorily speed up the development of the relationship; when introducing a couple to our family, we will face parents who can’t accept comrades; when we encounter a strong kiss from Prince Charming, we will unconsciously Betray your boyfriend, or become a junior in the eyes of others. Xiaopa is not perfect. He sometimes makes wrong choices, sometimes fails to resist the temptation of intoxicating people, sometimes falls into constant self-deception, and sometimes blames others for the sake of self-esteem. This is also what I admire the most-Xiaopa does not have the protagonist's aura, and is even very embarrassed. He looks a little silly and sweet. The kind-hearted man can only bite the bullet to deal with some things he is unwilling to do or embarrassed, sometimes because Selfishness hurts others, and sometimes hurts oneself because of accommodation. It is difficult for you to find in him what you want to have but can only exist in fairy tales, and it is also difficult to find any exciting or exciting climax in his story. Some unbearable places are surprisingly plain, but unknowingly, they deeply move you. The kind of thing that gradually comes into your heart is called truth.
What is the truth? It is Xiaopa who tried to prove that he has the ability to manage it well in the relationship with Rich. This anxiety and tension finally showed lack of experience and panic, which ultimately hurt Rich; In the continual reassurance and chaos with Kevin, he experienced inner entanglement and the censure of relatives and friends. On Xiaopa’s body, I saw more or less some shadows of myself or my friends, and these shadows were intertwined and intertwined into a world that seemed to happen in front of you. Just like the slogan in the first season poster: "find something real", it truly reflects some stories about "finding" in the gay community. Frank is looking for a direction to rebirth after being lost, and Augustine is also looking for a way out of his midlife crisis. The other two main lines in the play show something completely different from Patrick. Patrick's innocence and kindness, Frank's avant-garde boldness, and Augustine's middle-agedness brought three different lives to these three friends. But no matter what, "seeking" is always an evolving and spiraling theme in life.
"Looking" is hailed as another masterpiece after "Comrades Also Mortal". I don't comment on it because I haven't watched QAF. However, it is indeed in a plain description, and it truly shows the life of the gay community that is not known to the public-in fact, it is not much different from ordinary people, and we still encounter all kinds of problems that ordinary people encounter. I am very sorry that such an excellent work is limited by the slightly prolonged plot of the second season and the small audience of the subject matter, and the ratings have declined. In the end, HBO cancelled the third season renewal and chose to use a movie to explain all the subsequent things in January next year. Compared with the proliferation of heterosexual themes that are so disgusting, there are very few movies and televisions that do not rely on the nudity of the whole story or the ups and downs of the plot. After finishing the book, they even show the life in the gay circle with a fresh taste of literature and art. The actors in the play include the two leading actors Jonathan (playing Patrick) and Russell (playing Kevin). Many of them are insiders. They feel very honored to be able to speak for themselves in this way, and it is difficult to accept "The fact that they were cut off, but they will try their best to interpret the characters in the final big movie, and say goodbye to them. It is said that the ending of the film is an open end, and the shooting will be completed in San Francisco in the near future. Let me quietly wait for its return and its end in the aftertaste of the plot.
