The black tone and wording of the dialogue (black people never seem to say "any", use "no" to replace the place where any should be used), but it does not hinder this kind of poetry, but every sentence is unexpected. Although people who meet by chance, sit together and chat for a few words, they will be heart-to-heart, but it is not fake. It only feels condensed, and the rhythm is also mentioned to a bright drum beat.
On the contrary, the mother and son, who get along day and night, are always at odds with each other. The mother and son repented each other for a while. I admired the director's skill. The male protagonist chiron suddenly shed a tear. He didn't realize it at first. Cover up the tears. This action is obviously because the tear stains in the previous shot happened to be on the left side of the face, facing the mother, so it was necessary to pretend to hold the face. Otherwise, on the side that the mother can't see, just wait quietly for the tears to dry. ——The face-grabbing shot obviously saw the location of the tear, and the director temporarily designed it. Otherwise, the actors are too powerful, they are deeply involved in the play, and their performances are also meticulous.
In the first chapter, litter's little actor has very few lines. The communication with drug dealers and mother is almost pure eyes. This kind of eyes is really like what Zhang Ailing said: the ocean is deep and changing. But very accurate. This is the director's training.
As an adult, chiron imitates the drug dealers he met when he was a child. He has a gemstone earring in his right ear and a crown ornament in the car. He is also engaged in drug trafficking, but he is very warm to others. It was all influenced by a drug dealer, who apparently regarded him as a father. His mother said: I am your mother, blood relative. She quarreled with the drug dealer again, "Are you going to support my son?" Although it appeared to be an explanation for her being a prostitute, it was also a form of hostility. Litter left the drug dealer because he knew he was a drug dealer and violated the expectations of his heroic father. Washing in the bathtub means that you are still clean and have nothing to do with these filthy people, things and environments.
The wonderful thing about this film is that there is always an ominous omen. Two men meet and face each other in the living room. Between the two are several children's paintings, drawn by Kevin's son. These paintings are the gulf between them. But the ending is a big reunion, which is very surprising. Sometimes the music suddenly gets weird, making people think something is going to happen, and then it doesn't, making the audience a false alarm.
Some people say that another guy, Kevin, is straight. I don't think so. Kevin has a son, but it was born after he had sex with a girl when he was a boy. In adolescence, people will consciously try and explore. Especially in an environment that despises rules and morality. It's not a bad thing to rape a girl yourself.
For the first time, he talked a lot to Black, that is, he was having a relationship with a girl, and his speech was a little flustered. He was too concerned about Black's reaction to say anything. It is also a test. Although Kevin's mouth is extremely exaggerated by girls to seduce him. But it could also be to exonerate yourself. It is also in line with the psychology of temptation.
The two were in close contact on the beach, and it was Kevin who took the initiative, hugged each other's neck, and touched each other's face, both of them were stunned. ——It is because they have a tacit understanding and agreement, but they did not expect to develop so quickly. After being separated for many years, Kevin took the initiative to contact Chiron and played the love song in the restaurant. Chiron's expression was very shocking, and he understood.
However, at the end, the two of them leaned on their heads and shoulders, and it was like a brotherhood. It seems that it should be the posture of a straight and warm man soothing the gay who likes him.
The heroine is the actress who played the witch of the Pirates of the Caribbean, and her performance was much weaker in the second half. It would be even more exciting if the villainous mother in "Cherish Love" played the role.
I think this movie is a whitewash for gays, and one for drug dealers. The life of a drug dealer is too clean. Or to think a bit more sci-fi, the drug dealer is the chiron.
