As one of the films of the 2017 Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival, it was screened at Shin Kong Cinema in Taipei. The two-hour-long run shows a lot. But the biggest element to be shown in the film should be youth and homosexuality.
Saul and Christine in the film are good brothers in their adolescence. Saul is secretly ashamed of his sluggish development, and also has a crush on a girl - Beth, and Christine is also quietly in love with himself good brother. I was saddened by what Kristin did, he quietly liked Thor and went out of his way to help Thor win Beth's heart, when they lived in the same tent and Beth and Thor slept together , he wakes up quietly in the morning, sinks himself in the water and weeps loudly, in love and sorrow, and when he finds Thor sleeping with Beth, he goes to the stables alone and weeps, and shoots in desperate moments suicide.
The main storyline is not to grab the audience's attention with same-sex love, the film is also deliberately presenting an objective environment, Kristen's father hurts a friend's father, because that person is gay, which indirectly shows that Christine's difficult situation, other children often laugh at him and Saul, although they blurt out, but it adds pressure to the sensitive Christine, especially Saul also perceives this feeling and alienates him. All became the straw that crushed him.
Adolescents are sensitive and timid. What they need is understanding and care. Whether it is Sol or Christine, they both grew up in an unhealthy family environment. The three of them can't lift their heads. Christine's father is grumpy and mother is weak and kind. There is no doubt that parents love their children deeply, but they don't know how to communicate with their children, so that they can be like in nature. It grows as freely as an animal, as long as it grows into a healthy and powerful man. This makes these children seem healthy, but their hearts are full of restlessness and anxiety.
At the end of the film, Sol quietly visits Christine, who has attempted suicide, and kisses his forehead lightly. I think this kiss may contain too much meaning, friendship and love? During adolescence, there are many unexplainable feelings. When Sol Fey ran to the beach and saw a child catch an ugly fish, instead of brutally trampling the fish to death like the beginning of the story, he released it into the sea, what was he thinking? The film ends abruptly, and I don't know what Sol is thinking, but I believe that Christine and Solder will be better in the future than they are now, and that's enough.
