Let me state my opinion first: in this movie, neither March nor Perry are 'faggot'. Judging from March's character, his mother must love him very much and protect him since he was a child, so that he is not affected Immersion of the external environment. After she died, the only thing left for March to miss her was the cock they raised together and the clothes her mother left behind. Father had been working on the farm from day to night, and of course he had little time with March. So when March was a child, he only had contact with his mother, so he would inadvertently imitate her mother's actions. In this way, when he grew up, he suddenly walked out of the house one day, showing behavior that went against his own gender, and let others call him a freak. Even Perry, who thought March was a freak. March put the head of the chicken in his mouth and showed him how to calm the chicken; March was curious about his muscles and reached out to touch it... all of which Perry mistook for a teasing signal. He made March wear his wedding dress and then assaulted him, also after treating him as a woman. For March, maybe the white rooster chicken can't be considered a pet, after all, its owner doesn't even have the idea of naming it. But it was symbolic of the past, a past that had not been given a name; a past where he still had his mother. The chicken was by his side, as if his mother was still with him, guarding him. When the chicken neck was bitten off by him, he was shocked. Yes, he wants to break with the past, he wants to prove that he is not the freak that others say, he wants to prove that he is not a faggot... but he is still reluctant to let it go. He was so naive that he couldn't let go of the past at that moment. Perhaps the most cruel thing to a person is to force him to abandon his innocence at a certain moment and choose maturity to face this cold and realistic world. He came home with the chicken's body in his arms, his father held him in his arms, he wanted to break free, he kept shouting let me go, let me go... He wanted to escape, he wanted to escape the fact that the chicken was killed by himself , he still doesn't want to face this cold world...
