The pattern is too small to be a climate

The beginning of the film specifically mentions two years: 1969 (the heroine was 14 years old) and 1973 (the heroine was admitted to university).

In 1969, Americans landed on the moon, New York's gays and lesbians created massive riots at Stonewall bars ( Stonewall 2015 ), anti-Vietnam War marches continued throughout the U.S., and hormonally high young men in Woodstock The music festival is drunk and dreaming....

In 1973, the multi-episode documentary " An Amrican Family " aired on mainstream public television at the beginning of the year created a continuous movie-watching boom in the United States, and the eldest son of the middle-class family in California came out in a high-profile manner on and off the silver screen. An uproar; Streisand, a big star with a wide gay base in the movie theater, turned into a leftist activist and a handsome rightist Robert Redford on the screen . Reminiscent so far...

If it could be combined with the historical narrative, "On the Road with Uncle Frank" could have been made better, and it could even be made into an Oscar-level blockbuster that witnesses the history of gay rights protection from the heroine's eyes. But the pattern of shooting is too small now, wasting the magnificent background of the era in vain. It is too far-fetched to give up the plane and switch to a road trip. It can be seen that the main creator has the original intention of making a gay version of "Green Book". As a result, the scene on the road only takes a few minutes to get home, which makes people feel anticlimactic and nondescript. The male protagonist came out so that his niece would not be deceived by the little gay. His estranged father died. As a result, his Arab boyfriend was more worried than the male protagonist and accompanied him on the road. The dead father's old hatred was hard to sell. The reputation of the cabinet is discredited,...what's the matter? This screenwriter is actually Alan Ball (also the director of this film) , the gay screenwriter who wrote the Oscar-winning film "American Beauty" ? !

    There can never be too many movies like this. While it's a '70s trope right now, the situation for gays and lesbians is similar across time. In fact, I can see the gentleness of the director, giving Frank a warm partner and a supportive family, allowing him to get over with obstacles. But this is also the shortcoming of this movie. Even in the death of his first love, his father's disgust, and the imprisonment of the times, he does not seem so miserable.

    5/5 *The best recent shooting style is really good. The actor's acting is also superb. The storyline is also great. In my opinion, the "fly in the ointment" is an excessively happy ending (only for the background of the story), so are road films so "beautiful" and "interesting in dialogue" (I really like that little "dramatic" Arab boy, he is completely a Angel; I like the relationship between Uncle and Niece very much, and I feel inexplicably healing)

Uncle Frank quotes

  • Kitty: I'll slap you so hard, your clothes will go out of style.

  • Beth: [narrating] He

    [Frank]

    Beth: was the only adult I knew who looked me in the eye; who was curious about what I had to say; and who liked to make me laugh. And in summer of 1969, when I was 14, that was exhilarating.
