The summer in the southern hemisphere, the suburbs, an old house, and two men constitute several important elements of the whole story. They are important but very simple. The plot is slow, there are no loud voices, there are no ups and downs, and there is no character conflict. There are always greenery, birdsong, groves, grass, and long, quiet close-ups of people in the picture. The two ate, drank, wrote novels, repaired eaves and built fences on open-air stone tables covered in moss. The whole time was enveloped by a quiet and green summer atmosphere. The two men portrayed in the camera have similar temperaments. No matter what they do when they get along with each other, they are neither noisy nor noisy. A little conflict occurs, which will be resolved naturally after a while. Whether it is character, emotional expression, environment, seasonal tones, they are all very unified. I don't know if these points are regional characteristics or deliberately arranged by the director. It's different from "The Life of Adele" that I watched together, and it may have something in common with the ones I've watched before. It's a literary gay film like "Weekend Time". But this film does not have the pornography that dominates "Adele", or most gay films are more or less erotic and borderline portrayed. To portray ambiguity, ambiguity is also very natural and gentle) instead of pornography, breaking a rule. Like the "17-year-old adopted son" that I liked very much before, (but the core of "17-year-old adopted son" is family) Compared with gay films with a strong erotic and borderline sex, what impresses and infects me the most is the kind of complete elimination. The types of gay films are the same as ordinary heterosexual romance films. If the two men in the film are replaced by a pair of heterosexuals, there will be no conflict. The director has achieved this balance, creating a more turbulent effect of the film's bland depiction. Personally, I think this is the best part of the film. Among most gay films, "Hawaii" is completely higher than those films in my personal opinion. Because compared to most gay films, it also omits prejudiced and over-exaggerated elements such as politics, discrimination, marginality, and tragedy. What it expresses is a clean, natural and plain story. To call it a love story, it doesn't really highlight the love itself, it's so bland and smooth, as if the two men finally broke the deadlock and came together at the end, and the kiss scene can see a bright future. The impression and emotional connection effect left on me is very strong. The reason why the title says that fairy tales are all true is because after the whole story is told, what you see is like the romanticism depicted in literary works with European and American classical flavors. It is a bit retro and seems to be out of touch with reality, but It is again fully in line with the authenticity of modern life. Can't find anything that goes against reality and doesn't match the rules. Two people live on a peach blossom island, there is a sense of alienation in a paradise, there is no American film, (or the noisy neighbor in "The Adopted Son 15") no one bothers, there is no urban population density that disturbs the rhythm of the story and the audience's thoughts, there are A sense of art above life (like "Under the Tuscan Sun"). This is the place that impresses me the most.
