Not only you and me, but us

A little progress requires the struggle and sacrifice of too many people. It's not as exciting as "Pride," but it's just as moving. I can't help but wonder if my friends and relatives will be able to help like the police auto repair shop owner in the movie if one day I encounter the same predicament, and what can I do for the same kind of people who are in trouble. ? If people want to survive, they must continue to fight and need great courage. In such a process, they must need the support of others. It can be seen from this type of film that the road to rights protection is difficult no matter where it is, and there must be more people united, not only LGBT people, but also just officials, enthusiastic social people who dare to Outspoken media, sober people... When will the process of safeguarding the rights of the Celestial Dynasty take a small step forward? It takes too much effort from too many people. I was very moved when the gay policeman finally stood up and brought a group of policemen to the parliament. A person who started to protect himself dared to stand up, indicating that the actions of other people have given him a great touch. In real life, many people have gay friends around them. Apart from verbal understanding and support, what real help can a straight person give to the LGBT community? Putting aside the distinction between straight and curved, when a friend is in trouble, as a person, what attitude should you use to face it? This is no longer within the category of straight and curved, but as a human being, born as a human, we will face it.
Similar rights-defense films in the United States all show a kind of unity, in which the first awakened people guide and influence others, and influence those who resisted it before. This shows a kind of national spirit, a kind of cohesion. Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, in addition to promoting the idea of ​​equal rights, such films are still promoting the spirit of the United States. Compared with the war theme that outspokenly promotes heroism, this bowl of American-style chicken soup with tortuous aftertaste is my love, and it is also a kind of movie that can better penetrate the spirit that Laomei wants to convey into my heart. The premise that people with the same trait (which can be either sexuality or race) come together to work towards the same goal is always more motivated and more empathetic.
The film finally awarded the heroine the lieutenant medal, a public funeral, which reflects the recognition of her within the system. The couple not only gradually expanded from the initial support of family and friends to social support, but also received institutional recognition in form. This progressive lay-out endows the film with tension, expresses the values ​​of the creators, and guides the audience's emotions well. Some people who read the comments before felt that the plot was fragmented and incoherent. I didn't feel that way. I felt that the rhythm and atmosphere were handled well. Although there was nothing too exciting, it didn't fail either. Both Judy Moore and Ellen Page are also great. Last but not least, when the prototype photo at the end of the film came out, it was really shocking, and it made me feel a sense of solemnity. eyes.

    The plot of the film develops too fast, I always feel that Aunt Moore and Ellen Page are a little bit different. The protagonist's acting skills make up for the lack of the plot, and several male characters are also a bit glorious. The plot of fighting for the rights of homosexuals brings the film to a climax, which is more gratifying than moving. Made me believe more in the phrase "We insist on something, not because it works, but because we believe it is right"

    "In my 23 years as a police officer, I've never asked for special treatment. I'm olny asking for equality."
