Bo Ye's film feels a little rushed, and the film's structure feels a little loose, but the conflict of the story, the central idea, and the structure of the characters are still great. The story tells the whole story of Uncle Frank coming out of the closet from the point of view of a niece. What impressed me most was that the doctor's order left by my father on his deathbed turned out to be a deep disgust for his son Frank's gay identity, cursing homosexuality to hell, and at the same time sending the movie It has reached a climax, which reminds me of the name engraved in your heart. Zhang Jiahan in the play begged the priest to send himself to hell when he was tortured to death. He couldn't love the person he loved, and the soul and flesh couldn't be united. Isn't this kind of mental torment hell?
At the beginning of the movie, it tells the story of Uncle Frank from the perspective of a niece. Grandpa has a prejudice against Frank, Frank is very different from the people in this town, and Frank said that he should be himself, which paved the way for the development of the story. Friends are also comrades, which shows that even in New York, the comrades at that time still concealed their identities and hid the cruel phenomenon in the cabinet. Later, Frank came out of the closet to his niece, his father died, and the three discussed it and drove back to the town. It felt a bit like a green book, but there was nothing in the relationship or story of the three people on the road. I felt that this part could actually be added. After arriving in the town, it is Frank's perspective again, which is a bit confusing; but the story of the damage that Grandpa left to Frank and the three people's psychological struggle together revealed layer by layer is still relatively full. After experiencing ideological struggles, Frank chose to be himself, then went to his father's grave to express his position and took the flowers for the sake of his same-sex teenage friends to make a confession, and then returned home and officially came out to his family, and completed the process. A difficult journey of coming out. Wally in the play is really cute and bearish.
This film not only shows the journey of gays coming out of the closet, but also shows the new independent women represented by nieces, who are independent-minded and accept multiculturalism, forming a sharp contrast with those traditional-minded people in the small town, so the director It should be to express this natural acceptance of the gay community from the perspective of a new generation of young people. The film's perspective is novel, the tone is humorous, and the plot is ups and downs, which is still interesting.
