It turns out that brainless Dolan fans are such a group
1##Tom finally escapes Francis' inexplicable abuse. This family, this relationship did not bring the relief he expected, but an absolutely suppressed, almost perverted sadness and self-blame. It was too heavy for Tom: he couldn't allow himself to die in the past, and he couldn't bear to be forgotten by reality.
2##Francis reminds Tom of Guillaume. What's even more strange is that Francis has a special taste that attracts Tom. He smelled beauty in disappointment, even though the price of that beauty was violence and depression. He lives in a dream. In this dream, Francis gave Tom the excitement and familiarity that had been lost for a long time, and most importantly, Francis gave Tom a sense of reality that he could breathe.
Tom thought he was loved.
3##Francis really wants to leave. But he couldn't, and as much as he wanted to, he couldn't. Tom was like a surprise, a memory, a freshness, a guarantee, a ticket to escape. Francis couldn't be sure of anything, but stubbornly saw Tom as an antidote. So when he realizes he's never going to get away, the endless frustration turns into anger and an almost obsessive sense of control -- an infinitely amplified sense of insecurity.
4## This can be just the story of the two of them. Tom and Francis realize that there is something in each other they desperately want after their first encounter. But this kind of mutual demand is by no means consolation, but more like a grab for dominance and a contest of dominant forces. There may be sexuality, but it's just an illusion to fill the void. Tom trusted Francis because he thought it was the replacement he wanted; Francis needed Tom because he wanted an excuse to lie to him.
5##Truth is truth, but realness sometimes is not the reality.
The superfluous thriller appears impetuous, it is better to tell the story and establish the characters. Dolan's innovation is obvious, but never deliberate. This time, he also jumped out of the vicious circle of mother and child and family, and led people to shine. It may be a coincidence that I just finished watching Stranger by the Lake, but the psychological thrillers of the two are really very similar.
