First of all, this movie has been watched for a long time, and the impression is very deep: it seems to be acting a story, but each character is a projection, reflecting the revolution. The revolution of the gay rights movement. In 1975, not long after the rise of the Stonewall Movement, this movie has a profound meaning.
Don't blame me mean, what I want to say is: the whole movie is like a farce in the eyes of some people, and it is not influential. . Of course, because it's not a mainstream movie, don't force it if it's not your food. But don't just talk about bad movies and criticize them like bad movies, or they are just like the bad guys in the movies.
A good beginning: the cross wedding laughter. The camera shows the priest's stiff and solemn, sluggish and emotional face, which is particularly prominent. After seeing it, you will know that the servant is the same actor (mapping morality, law, judgment) = beauty in people's eyes.
The words on the car came into view, so strange:
WAIT TIL TONITE
SHE GOT HERS NOW HE'LL GET HIS
was surprised to see this.
Brad and Janet, the best man and bridesmaids come to the wedding of their friends.
Two priests continue to appear in the picture, representing a kind of system’s repression of Brad, a kind of self-judgment and concealment. Brad sings a love song to Janet, but the hearts drawn by those two priests (systems) are wiped away. They have nothing. Walked into the church without worry, knowing that the BJ two had completely succumbed to the feet of the social system. . . They are also about to enter that world innocently and live a normal life. . .
Seeing Brad's footsteps is reluctant, but powerless, unwilling to resist, but finally repeats the phrase "damnit" to vent his dissatisfaction. .
The director still expressed directly what he wanted to say: When the wooden coffin was carried up by the two of the system, it actually implied that their marriage was the tomb of their love that had not yet begun, and it was destined to be a tragic ending. . . BJ’s expression of love before the cross is simply dumbfounding. He said bluntly: the system is ridiculous, because they have no love. They are set off with holy things that we laymen have for, and show the essence of love. There is no love. Even marriage is horrible and creepy.
Bizarre journey: pay attention to the words used by the actor, young, ordinary, healthy. . Healthy children, how ironic. They go to see a common mentor (in fact, the mapping is a bi that dare not recognize themselves, or homo at all), which means to guide them to become like they are now, helpful friends (indicating that they have joined this brigade and do not want to be particularly despised by society) Those aliens. They have lost themselves)
Destination: Clouds, heavy storms, thick and dark, crumbling (demonized)
Brad represents a class of people: this type of people not only don’t want to recognize themselves, they are even homophobic, it represents the United States Some people in the society of homosexuality, they are the same, but they pretend to be homophobic, for fear that others will find themselves different. This represents a kind of ideological understanding, a stream of consciousness. .
And Janet represents this kind of people: Heterosexual, they are very kind in nature, they will not take the initiative to hurt, do not have independent opinions, and follow the trend, so the strength of people like Brad will inevitably lead her to the path of gradual loss of herself. .
The rainy night entering the castle, thunder and lightning, they are about to face an incredible journey. In the velvety black night, Janet sang, the star she saw shines, no matter who you are, there is always a light shining in the darkest part of your life. . . That light led them into the castle, into their true self.
Note: The system has appeared again. This time he became a servant. His image is extremely ugly. He said: It won’t take long for him to be in power. . . The 1970s should be the period after the rise of the homosexual movement. This period implies that the mainstream system is suppressing homosexuality and will soon succeed. Tears and flattery, lurking around Frank, but just wanting to finally replace it and suppress it.
Under the background of a group of spectators, the protagonist appeared: a bisexual, a transvestite dragqueen, a bold show of self. Seeing this, I don’t think the heavy makeup has the slightest horror, he walks like a model. Powerful singing voice and uninhibited smile, revealing self-confidence and arrogance, and some disdain, he said don't be frightened by my appearance, I just come from another planet: Transvestite planet. I like this character so much. . . He is domineering and straightforward, but he is very naive. It can be seen that he is not bad-hearted. .
He made rocky, which is actually a memorial and reluctance to his lover Eddie. It should be said that he loves Eddie.
The gorgeous setting highlights Rocky's debut. I was most impressed by this line: I hold the secret to life itself. He was right, he did control life and himself. With impassioned, determined eyes, Janet couldn't help clapping. This is too obvious, so I won't talk about it. Brad was anxious on the side, and hurriedly stopped.
There is a plot to mention in this paragraph: two servants (system bad guys) raise Rocky and try to destroy Rocky. After that, Frank did not kill the servant for this reason, but trusted him repeatedly. This also wrote about the current situation at the time. The glass hearts of homosexuals. Even if they were hurt and betrayed, they still chose to believe that they did not want to admit that the world was true. Is not trustworthy, because this is their home after all. .
Rocky: Robots (rebirth love) The same-sex movement is on the rise. Amidst the cheers of LGBT, when Rocky is naked in front of the camera, singing and telling his own perception of himself: tragedy, a tragedy LGBT Tell him: you are not, those are not your fault. He ran away repeatedly, afraid to face Frank, afraid to face reality, which was in stark contrast with Frank's love, and it was also the choice of attitude that the director wanted to express.
Frank said that seven days can make him a man. My understanding is that the director also wants to talk about a change in attitude.
Homophobic and heterosexual gangsters singing Rock&Roll came, riding a motorcycle, and breaking into this gorgeous party. The HATE engraved on his hand exposed his identity, unscrupulously and rampantly, just like this, he affected the attitude of many people, and he made people feel scared and uneasy. In fact, the many motorcycles that Janet saw on the road above show that these people are very powerful. Deeply shaken the foundation of the LGBT same-sex rights movement.
After a lot of noise, the farce ended with Frank’s blood-stained hands. We couldn’t help but start to feel that he was cruel. He killed his life in this way. In fact, it’s a bit scary if you just imagine it as a murder. In fact, it means that. It’s just a battle of the same-sex LGBT movement, so Frank is really a hero. He represents those people who have been fighting, struggling and fighting. They are wonderful.
Speaking of the changes in Brad and Janet, what Frank did to them is not actually a seduction, but a self-exploration. This part should be easier to understand. This part mainly starts from the pursuit of material desire in human nature, telling the surrender of humanity to material desire. Of course, sexual desire, material desire is originally part of human nature, there is nothing to hide, but I prefer to understand it as the release of self.
Those two systems (bad guys) played tricks, let Rocky go, and caused Frank's anger. He couldn't bear the fact that Rocky betrayed him.
Dr Scott, who was in a wheelchair, came slowly, righteously, with criticism and disdain, telling him to look for his nephew Eddie. If we don't see the end, we might think that he represents a good person, but the last description of the nephew Eddie is creepy. He described it like this: he is a trouble, he has been trouble since he was a child, and he is a thorn in his mother's eyes. He is wrong (from this we can see that eddie is the same). At this time, the storyteller turned over the photos of the homophobic gangsters before, which is really ironic! The real bad guys are those homophobic punks. This shows his homophobia. Furthermore, he made up eddie's letter. It should be known from the back that Eddie and Frank are in love with each other, but they were provoked by the system and turned into enemies, and ultimately did not end well.
Frank is still the end of the tragedy, and in the end he still cannot be recognized by the mainstream.
When Frank jumped into the pool and sang Don't Dream It, Be It. I was really touched. Since I can't change the world, I will be myself in my own world. it's beyond me. help me mommy. Brad, a rational homosexual, can't deceive his true self.
A terrifying thing happened. Dr. Scott seemed to be the only sober person in the audience. After he woke up, he decided to save everyone. However, he was uncharacteristically and tried his best to control his fear and sing. I got to be strong and try to hang on. Or my mind may well snap.
And my life will be lived for the thrill. This really sounds like a strange confession that has been hidden for a long time. Trill has not yet fallen, and the stockings under Dr Scott’s wheelchair completely show His identity: a disguised homosexual, transvestite. . . He has been deeply poisoned by society, but he is still the self, the self who dare not admit. How sad!
In the end, Frank's affectionate singing moved everyone and awed in awe. However, the system caused trouble and eventually killed Frank.
Finally Frank sang: I'm going home. Death, failure, tragedy ended. I've seen blue skies through the tears of my eyes. Maybe only above the blue sky can we truly inhabit our home. No matter how you insist on yourself, it can't resist the cruelty of reality. It's so difficult to be your true one and live proudly and freely.
But Rocky and Frank's love can't be suppressed in any way. Together, they live forever in that pool.
Frad's last singing also confirmed the guess: i've done a lot, god knows i've tried to find the truth, i even lied, but all i know is down inside I'm bleeding. I did a lot, God I know, I have been working very hard to find out the truth, but I only know that my heart is struggling to bleed.
Stupid human beings, you are lost in time and space, lost yourself, what is the meaning of life!
This is my understanding of this movie.
