This movie is not very good-looking, the story is flat, and the emotions of the soundtrack are higher than the plot.
Anyway, for one of the LGBTQ members like me, there is still inspiration, so even if the plot is a little dull, the educational significance behind it is still impossible to ignore.
In the process of watching the movie, I can see the hero's struggle and depression in the church, but I can't empathize with it. I think this is what the movie lacks. I think the protagonist's experience can only be moved if he has experienced it in reality, or lived in a country with a similar background.
What touched me in the movie, and what I think is the best, is the conversation between the protagonist and his father. Many people broke up with their parents because they were gay, and even the last six parents didn't recognize them. When I was thinking about coming out, I had a similar thought, thinking that if I didn't agree, it would be better to be separated than to live together and torture each other.
After seeing what the actor did, I was quite ashamed. Even if my parents disagreed at the moment you said it, we have to try to get them to agree. I'm still the same me, still their child, but I like the same sex. I believe that parents who truly love you will accept you like the father in the movie, it just takes a lot of time to digest. When we come out of the closet, the only thought that surrounds our minds is "self", and sometimes we forget that parents need a lot of time to consider, values cannot be changed in an instant, it takes time to pile up, one by one Point to point to piece together what they don't understand.
If that day comes, I hope I can be like the male lead and give each other a little more time, trying to make them understand, instead of taking an evasive attitude and keeping silent. This is an extremely difficult road, I don't know what the future will hold, and I don't know if I can withstand the pressure from the outside world. All I know is that I like people of the same gender as myself, and I don't want to live my life to cater to the public.
