Saw Douyou said: The Canadian director's work in Canada Toronto Film Festival award-winning place is very protective. hhh who will pay attention if you don’t get a few prizes, every line is

I watched this film at the Guangzhou LGBT Film Festival plus the consulate. I watched the English version. My English ability is not enough to support me. I can understand and understand a small part of English, so there are only some that impressed me and I watched it. Understand, I will write it down

This film tells about a boy who was traumatized when he was a child, and then caused psychological shadows and changes in sexual orientation, and finally got warmth, returning to the little boy who didn’t understand anything at the beginning.

The most distinctive feature of this film is his special effects, and then mixed with enigmatic music, the combination of the two, there is a kind of dreamlike. Especially when he went to Wilder's house to attend a party, he knocked on the medicine, and the camera described his subjective vision: nightclub lights, nightclub music, wilder kissing the girl's face shaking, a man came to him, blocked his sight and asked oscar: Who are you waiting for? At this time, the focus shifted from the man to the wilder he cared about. The focus of the lens here is very interesting; there is also the fighting scene of the two behind in the toilet, the lens is shaking to dizziness, a dreamy effect, he is drunk, yes I don't know what I'm doing, I just enjoy the pleasure of this moment. In the last paragraph, he found that the hamster was dead, and finally took out the iron rod from the murder scene when he was young, and waved it to his parents who were arguing. The music, special effects, and repeated shots were very rhythmic. compact.

This film uses a lot of montages. For example, when oscar and wilder are preparing to kiss on the bed, there is a picture of a turbulent waterfall. Here is a metaphoric montage. The first time you kiss a person you like very much, is your heart inside? It's not that the waves are rough, and the excitement can't wait to blend into another person's body right away. Then there is the repeat montage...

Among them, Oscar and Wilder drove into the tree. Oscar slowed down watching Wilder’s butts. This is also true in life! In front of the person you like, all the actions of the person you like, I want to watch it frame by frame for in-depth study. In "Mannen som elsket Yngve" (I love Yingge), Yingge sees the same with people he likes. The ending male protagonist returns to the beginning of the dream, his father said: Close your eyes, you can have any dream you want. Then I opened my eyes, and it was a new life. This movie reminds me of "Mulholland Road", both of which use psychological and dream elements in it.
