The little white rabbit is white and white, with both ears tied up

"Same-Sex Three Dividends" is a film that sincerely explores the issue of gay family. The male protagonist Arnold is undoubtedly the needle-and-threaded character, showing the different understandings of homosexuality by individuals, relatives, friends, and outsiders. Apart from the different viewpoints in the film, I am most interested in the ubiquitous rabbits in Arnold's house.

Arnold boyfriend looks dumbfounded

When Arnold's boyfriend came to his house for the first time, he was embarrassed by the bunny cutlery in the room. From the teapot to the hooks to the decorations were all white rabbits.

Rabbit hiding in the corner

I also found rabbits in the corners of Arnold's house. They were posted on the wall, in the corner of the wall, and hung behind the door. It can be said that Arnold is an avid rabbit fan. In the film, Arnold works as a cross-dressing actor, with rich and exaggerated makeup and filthy smoky voice on stage, fighting for his own career. In private, he is a very life-saving person, and he runs the image of the rabbit he likes into all aspects of daily life. The rabbit itself is cute and cute, which also symbolizes the vigorous reproductive ability, and putting so many "rabbits" at home, one can imagine how eccentric and family-loving this male owner is. When Arnold adopted a child, his son was fighting with others at school. As a "mother", Arnold rushed to school without even changing his bunny slippers, and his son was nervously hurt.

Arnold's rabbit slippers

In fact, the protagonist's character and bunny habit are greatly influenced by his mother. In the movie, I saw his mother flipping out the same rabbit slippers from the bed. They looked cute as soon as they put them on. My mother and I have never had the same style before, although I also have the shadow of my mother's character. I am particularly envious of Arnold being able to share with his mother about homosexuality, raising children, relatives, etc. They have a mother-child relationship, but they also maintain a friend-like conversation. Even if they can’t fully understand each other, they can express individual independence. idea.

And I don’t remember how long I haven’t talked to my family about my own affairs. The space and freedom my parents gave me made me look like a rabbit with ears tied up. My legs seemed to be able to move, but the cords tied to my ears were still in my parents' hands, as did Arnold in the past. Only after a long time of communication with his mother did Arnold untie the rope, which is really difficult or rare.

Being friends with my parents really makes me particularly envious. Everyone can share their thoughts at home behind closed doors. The fusion of disputes and understanding may be an infinite loop.

As I grow older, I feel more and more that my parents have a high degree of purity in my emotions. Maybe they don't communicate well, but they will cherish it even more. For me, on the basis of respecting my parents, I still have to explore the path of life alone. Maybe in the future I can sing "Little White Rabbit White and White, Two Ears Stand Up" with my children, and grow up in an unknown world together.

    Each line is full of depth and worth pondering. Harvey Fierstein wrote and acted himself, giving the characters a more authentic understanding. The quarrel with his mother in the third segment was even more popular. The reconciliation before parting was touching. In the end, he hugged the three men and his mother whom he loved deeply. With respect and respect, I finally have a sublimation for be myself.

    I haven't seen such a touching gay movie for a long time, two men, mother, son, forgiveness, courage, bottom line, true love.

Torch Song Trilogy quotes

  • Bar Patron: Can I buy you a drink?

    Arnold: Oh, fuck off!

    Arnold: [later, after coming out of the back room] At least I don't have to cook him breakfast.

  • Arnold: There's one more thing you better understand. I have taught myself to sew, cook, fix plumbing, build furniture - I can even pat myself on the back when necessary - all so I don't have to ask anyone for anything. There's nothing I need from anyone except for love and respect and anyone who can't give me those two things has no place in my life.
