documentary. The original documentary is 40 minutes, the movie is 103 minutes, and the extra hour is spent on work. Well: Except for Uncle Carrell, the loyal dog police officer and classmate Will who sold it for less than ten minutes, the remaining 50 minutes were all about the love scene between Auntie Baa and Page... Seriously, superficial I actually love emotional dramas, but the emotional dramas in freeheld really make me feel embarrassed The aura is almost nothing like CP), it takes 50 minutes to go from acquaintance to dating to quarrel to cohabitation to buying a house to love to death, can this kind of plot get worse? Especially Nima The two of them actually have a boat scene... I especially agree with the Demon King who said that the boat scene must be filmed only if it has the effect of promoting the plot or shaping the characters. Obviously there is no need for a boat scene in freeheld, but since this completely meaningless boat scene has been filmed, it is obviously intended to be a gimmick, so at least you have to take off your clothes... Don't miss the point, don't use the front, but at least it must be real or Be beautiful... But as superficial as I am, I can only feel embarrassed?
I won't say anything about Auntie Baa and Page without any chemistry at all. After all, the focus of this drama is not all about love. But the part about gay rights equality, to be honest, wasn't filmed well. I have also watched documentaries and know how the process is going, but this is a movie after all, if you don’t want to be more magnificent, at least you have to recreate it with some artistic processing! In the bbc filming of No Life, we still need to innovate and change the murderer's motives; Walking in the Clouds also uses the documentary as a blueprint to make the plot a lot more compact, and the characters are also greatly changed. But obviously the second half of the freeheld movie is really no different from the content of the documentary, and even the documentary is not as moving. Although I joined the gay lawyer loyal dog and the good man councilor, to be honest, their participation is indeed a bit overwhelming. Gay equality is not fully reflected in the film at all, that is, auntie's character emphasizes equality a few times, and then that's it. Even until the end, I felt that the role of Page didn't care about gay rights at all, gay lawyers were still only concerned with same-sex marriage, and other characters were just focusing on sympathy for individuals. It's really plain to shoot like this, but if you want to watch plain, why not just watch the original 40-minute documentary? Now that it's been made into a movie, it's time to deepen the theme.
So all in all, freeheld's script is really problematic, and the balance of emphasis is very problematic. To be honest, I think there can only be one focus for a successful gay film. Either it mainly focuses on love, such as Brokeback Mountain, Spring Break, and Carol, or it mainly focuses on equality, such as Milk and Philadelphia Stories. After all, under normal circumstances, a movie is about two hours long. How can it be possible to fully explain both love and politics. Either freeheld should take a good picture of how auntie and page are deeply affectionate (seriously, I really can't accept this pair of cp), or they should play the role of weakening page and delete those emotional lines before getting sick and talk about gay equality Well.
