It's raining in New York this Friday. I was planning to go to IFC to see Spirited Away, but the tickets were sold out. Just tuned a recent Freak Show. As a result, I didn't expect that there would be a director and actor meeting at the end of the movie, and it turned out to be a miracle on a rainy day. The film took only 22 days to complete, and the actor who starred Billy was Alex Lawther, the male protagonist in "Fuck Meow". His eyebrows were curved, and he felt like a Taoist. In the movie, he plays a transvestite high school student. I just found out that Alex looks good in women's clothes. Director Stylers showed Alex's beauty very well, with blue eyes and white skin. He walked to the lawn of the rich man's mansion, and the sun slanted on his face. He was the boy who didn't "be himself." ", "different", "normal dress" modifiers. The "normal" defined by the matching of T-shirt and jeans is given by social culture. You can also define it yourself. After all, you are an individual. independent self. The drama of the costume style will surprise me, and it is also a kind of comedy element, but I feel a little bit distressed for Billy's insistence. I speculate on him from my own perspective, Billy is happy and sad at the same time. Billy's mother told him, if life kicks you, you kick higher. When Billy was young, her open mother told him your attitude in the face of the cold and cruel world. There are times when I feel like Billy is hurt and don't take it seriously. It's like he said, "Just tell me, maybe I'll be offended after hearing it for a second or two." I feel so cute and distressed. Billy looked at himself and accepted himself, he was far more courageous than those who bullied him. People are always sensitive to what they don't have, fear, dislike, and repression, and treat these secrets in a twisted way. It's just a reflection and portrayal of one's own heart. It's not easy being an adult. Teenagers also have their difficulties. Busy fit in, busy getting popular, busy chasing, busy proving, busy hurting, busy getting hurt, busy hiding, busy hiding. It's a process of getting to know yourself. In fact, sometimes, it is not a matter of knowing or not knowing, it is not a matter of consciousness. But, can you face yourself, under all kinds of eyes and pressure. Just like Billy's exaggerated and gorgeous eyeshadow in the movie poster, he is outstanding because of his persistence in himself, not for the attention of bloggers. Just because I like it, I'm comfortable, I'm happy. It didn't affect anyone else at the same time. I have heard a sentence, the general idea is that I spend my life in the way I like, and I fulfill myself, and it does not affect others to fulfill themselves. This so-called method and so-called influence will become very complicated when placed in the larger environment. Has this like been changed by social influence? Is it possible to influence others to make their own decisions? Sometimes, attacking others is because of the sense of accomplishment it brings. But, as in The Imitation Game, Do you know why people like violence? It is because it feels good. Humans find violence deeply satisfying, but remove the satisfaction, the acts become hollow. Alen Lawther also starred in The Imitation Game, if I remember correctly, as Turing as a child. Everything the director wanted to express in the movie was in Billy's speech at the end. Even though I knew the theme of the story, I still had tears in my eyes. He said he was worth it. I feel so too. There are also many criticisms of politics (Trump), expressions of family (father-son, mother-son) and friendship positive and negative, and descriptions of human nature (the housekeeper in the mansion). This is a cute movie with no laughs, tears, routines, not a show, but a beginning. The story is over and high school will graduate. But life has only just begun.
