What is unique is their eyes. After watching the movie, what remains in my mind are the eyes of the protagonist. NATHAN's pure and helpless eyes, the suppressed love and hesitation in ROY's eyes, the suspicion and desire in BURKE's eyes... Two young people Meeting in a certain summer in a certain southern country can only be attributed to fate only to say, the spark burst, but briefly extinguished in the conflict of reality. Everything became a summer dream, and a dream can be Infinite continuation in a world far from reality. This is such a story. Half reality, half psychedelic.

The film is adapted from the novel of the same name published in 1995, which is largely faithful to the original. The ending paragraph is more straightforward than the original, maybe the screenwriter I hope to give the story a clearer ending, but it seems that the charm of the novel's text has also disappeared in the image along with erasing the confusion and confusion left to the reader. This is the first regret. The second regret is the two protagonists The interaction between the two is in a jumping way, until the unexpected ending. It seems that the mental process from denial of sexual orientation to acceptance and the revealing of true feelings are a bit blunt.

Although there is a sense of anticlimactic, but in Among the many gay youth films, this is a very unique film worth watching.
