If LGBT is no longer a topic...

This LGBT-themed movie does not have very intense plots and conflicts. All conflicts are hidden in the hearts of several characters.

Since it is an LGBT movie, let's talk about LGBT, a topic that is now very hot all over the world. Maybe this topic has never been cold. Just because it is in conflict with the human morality that has been popular for thousands of years, LGBT is still a problem in the slow evolution of human society, but it is not like eating and drinking water and has been ignored by people. In today’s LGBT community, some people suffer from discrimination and bullying, some people hide themselves in the closet all the year round and dare not come out, some people call for their own human rights equality, some people live a happy LGBT life after they have become famous, and some people are realizing their own lives. LGBT aspirations later faced new problems. What is gratifying is that there are now many film and television literary works that reflect some things about the LGBT community. However, after appreciating these works, we always say in our hearts: No, this is not enough. The LGBT community does have a long way to go, which requires greater effort, courage and ability.
The movie Abou Ray is a movie about what to do after LGBT. Ray's grandma is a lesbian, and her girlfriend is a feminist. My grandma's girlfriend works in the United Nations, and their family is in New York, which seems to be a very good family. But even so, there are many unhappiness in this family: Ray's strong desire for transgender, his mother's strong love and self-blame for Ray, grandma's strong feminist ideas and the pursuit of their own free space, father and Uncle Matthew Unforgivable and strong sense of responsibility to the mother. Everyone has their own knots that they can't let go. These knots come from one's own life experience, past and desires. The core of the story revolves around Ray's degeneration. Everyone has undergone a transformation on the issue of Ray's degeneration. Even the seemingly enlightened grandmothers questioned: Why didn't Ray choose to be a lesbian, instead of being transgender? Of course, this is not the first problem that grandma faces after living the LGBT life she loves. Ray's mother and grandma's daughters were dating a pair of brothers at the same time when they were young, which caused the two brothers to have a bad relationship. Become a lonely person. Of course, this problem is nothing to the open and generous lesbian grandma. But Ray was furious when he knew that this incident prevented him from being able to change sex smoothly. He couldn't bear that his mother had done such a sorry thing. The howl and cold war between mother and Ray is the most intense plot in this movie. Therefore, the message of this movie seems to be: What about the middle class in New York? Isn't it hard to live the life you want? What about the happy lesbian? Isn't it facing a bunch of family problems? What about a developed and open city like New York? Isn’t it the pain of Ray’s family?
As a result, people's hopes seem to be disillusioned.
In any case, the film ended with Ray's father voluntarily agreeing to sign the agreement. Behind all this is the eternal theme in Western movies: love.
However, at least we know one thing: no matter how LGBT develops, no matter whether gay marriage is legalized, no matter whether transgender people are no longer being discriminated against. In the process of human development, there will be no less troubles of various problems.
Finally, say something other than LGBT.
One of the hallmarks of the mature film industry is that it can engrave a large number of subtle emotions and character relationships that can be seen everywhere in ordinary people's daily lives. Clouds of Sils Maria, the Hours, Certain Women, Mama, etc. Many movies are about the relationships and feelings between ordinary people. There is a tendency towards anti-plotting, but these plots have a strong tension if they are enlarged. Many times, when we face some intense inner conflicts, we choose to gradually let time to calm the conflicts. Traditional movies often like to intensify conflicts and make conflicts irreconcilable, and then make people go to a low ebb in fierce quarrels and fights. But nowadays, movies seem to be tired of those routines that deliberately strengthen conflicts, and they have begun to develop into gentle undulations and ordinary turbulence. Characters are not legendary, and masters are no longer rare. Everyone has great shining points in their ordinary lives.
