The story tells us that the answer is yes. But there is a precondition: boys must be gay and girls must be lesbian.
The movie tells the story of a gay boy and a les girl pretending to be a couple. As far as this setting is concerned, it has already made me very interested. The story takes place in Ireland, a Catholic country. The time is set in 1995. All I can think of is that the general view of homosexuality in that place at that time should be extremely sinful, not to mention the Irish where the hero and heroine live in the story. The town seemed so small that all the inhabitants of the town knew it.
The male protagonist Eddie is delicate and sensitive, and his sexual orientation has to face pressure from many aspects, not only from school classmates to make irresponsible remarks, but also his father, who is a soldier, hopes to become a straight man of steel. Hope, the worst thing is that Eddie doesn't dare to face the fact that he is gay at all. He is homophobic and secretive, so he can only try to create his own straight male image in the world by participating in military training and... finding a female ticket.
The heroine Amber gave me a good impression of being unique at the beginning of the story, but the various pointing at her classmates, either in person or behind her back, still made her miserable. When she discovered Eddie's When she was in pain, she took the initiative to propose to Eddie the problem of pretending to be a couple to cover up that he was gay and she was lesbian. Amber lives with her mother, but she has always longed to leave the town, dreaming of starting a new life in London. Relying on the business of renting a car and letting young couples open a house in it, she has saved a full 2,000 pounds of banknotes. And since the day they officially became Eddie, the gay boy's fake female ticket, the two of them have been in and out of school openly, and Eddie also brought Amber home to meet the parents in a high-profile When I was in love, my teacher and my parents found out that they had to beat me to death╯﹏╰). In Dublin, an independent Amber met Sarah, a lesbian girl. When she found out that she was so happy with Sarah, Amber was determined to follow her heart, so Amber, who came out of the closet, proposed a "breakup" with Eddie, and also called her a lesbian. The truth was told to the mother. The next day, everyone in the whole town knew about it. I was still wondering who it was when I saw it. The boy and the girl met in the corridor of the school. The girl explained to the boy that her mother went to talk to the priest. , As a result, the priest spread the news. The confidence system in religion turned out to be a lie... But Eddie made Amber go rough and scolded her as a dyke in order to protect his poor face (this word is for lesbians slander, just like Eddie's classmates called him faggot), but the boy regretted it immediately after saying it, and then took his anger on the buddy who was gossiping next to him. Later, Amber's mother finally accepted that her girl was a lesbian, and the heroine didn't need to care about the opinions of others in the town, but Eddie couldn't muster the courage to come out.
After graduating, Eddie decided to join the army, and at the same time decided to keep it secret in the future. At the last moment, Amber encouraged Eddie to face life bravely and gave him the 2,000 pounds she had worked so hard to save. The quadruple photo sticker that the two of them took in Dublin was split into two and kept in their respective hands as a testimony to their youthful friendship.
A very simple youth story, so simple that the plots other than the male and female protagonists can be ignored. But there are also moving scenes, such as Eddie hugging the drag queen in the bar, and the last scene where the girl encourages the boy, which are all good.
The youth of boys and girls is beautiful because they have each other. They are like cats licking each other's wounds, and they are like fish feeding each other. The scenery of Ireland is very beautiful. In youth, the pure friendship of a boy and a girl is also very beautiful. sweet.
