Don't be a sheep

Several so-called same-sex movies I watched recently only contain some same-sex elements, and this seems to be the same (Song of the Same Boat is another matter). In fact, it is about the process of teenage children accepting and embracing themselves, the change of thinking and the change of behavior. From the beginning when everyone picks up Ned everywhere, Conor transfers schools because others find themselves different and fights, to the final court lounge where all the rugby players are standing behind Ned and Conor. Ned, who tried his best to be expelled from the school and did not want the team to win, also changed his views on the outside world. Pascal went from contempt to acceptance, Walter, the headmaster who has always been enlightened, and of course the most beautiful Mo Niang 233.

The narrative is more delicate, there are many laughable scenes, and the film does not seem to be depressed at all and more joyful. Although there is no profound truth, there is no prosperous beauty, and perhaps the plot is a little old-fashioned, as if winning the ball game wins all kinds of things, but this bowl of chicken soup is really good.

Do not ever use a borrowed voice and don't be a sheep! Just embrace who you are.

Handsome Devil quotes

  • Ned Roche: [voice over] Did you know lizards can regrow their tails? That's how it was in our school with English teachers. One dies, another grows in his place. No big deal.

  • Ned Roche: [voice over] The Berlin Wall was built overnight. The world woke up the morning after and there it was. Now I'm no communist, but there's a lot to be said for acting decisively.
