I watched it twice in the same day, and I haven't seen a love movie that moved me so much in a long time.
The male protagonist Johnny, the "problem boy" who was forced to inherit the ancestral farm: he was trapped in the farm and the country, resisted communicating with people, could not go to college and socialize like other peers; he lacked love and care, his mother left home early, his father Strict, he doesn't know what it means to love others, to love oneself, and to be loved at all; he drinks too much, delays work, and has sex as he wants, but he is not responsible, and has no long-term plans, just to vent the desires of young boys.
It is such a depressed boy. After meeting the second male Gheorghe, his life was constantly warmed and redeemed, and he learned to shoulder responsibility and love others and himself.
The first acquaintance was not so pleasant, and due to his cynical nature, Johnny repeatedly mocked Gheorghe's Romanian immigration status and called him a gypsy. Later, getting along on the mountain gradually approached from flesh to spirit, allowing Johnny to harvest the gift that God gave him from afar. The same two boys were doing farm work on the mountain, and it was hard not to think of "Brokeback Mountain". The tributes from many shots dragged my mind back to the emotions of watching that movie. But I also want to ask God, is it possible to just catch two young men and go to the mountain to have a beautiful love haha~
Record a few impressive scenes:
1. After Johnny's palm was cut and injured, Gheorghe, regardless of his resistance, just opened his palm to check the injury, and here he spat.
And later, after the two of them were done doing it sometime, Gheorghe noticed Johnny's small movements to tear the scabbed wound, and this time he licked the palm of his lover's hand.
Ah, these two actions are very rude to me, which means that Johnny gradually opened his heart to Gheorghe, and Johnny may have felt the care, love and concern of someone for the first time.
2. Several erotic "action scenes". The first time was in the grass on the mountain, and the two rolled into one piece. We all know that every time Johnny has been in the past, it was just to vent his desires, and this time was no exception. He resists kissing, resists being the bottom one, and it all revolves around the hormones of a young man. When the camera is zoomed out, the audience can see the lights of thousands of homes under the mountain. That scene is both conflicted but not incompatible. Under the sun, there will always be hidden corners, where people are driven by primitive desires, and here there is barbarism The secret to growth.
The second time was that the two gradually became closer, breaking the opposing emotions, and slowly feeling the warming relationship between Johnny and Gheorghe. In the dark little house on the hill, Johnny lay on his side but didn't fall asleep, clutching at the grass on the floor. Perhaps there was his eager longing for Gheorghe, panting and turning closer. Still unwilling to kiss, just want to go straight to his preset theme. But this time Gheorghe is completely in control. He teaches Johnny to enjoy each other's flesh step by step, and takes him to slowly take off layers of clothes, touch, kiss, smell, and gradually touch the soul. Intimacy. Josh played this part so well, panting all the time, and conveying Johnny's urgency so accurately.
3. About "Finding". After the two of them did something, Johnny talked about his mother, saying that she just left and no one in the family went to find her. Here and later, he took the initiative to find Gheorghe to make a good echo. Because of this love, this lover, he learned to shoulder responsibility, and also learned to express and pursue his love, and take the initiative in love. And the sweater with the smell of Gheorghe that Johnny found in the caravan, wearing the sweater on his body, he got the same warmth as the lamb that had a "mother" in the skin of other lambs , dependence, and redemption.
So when Jonny's dog couldn't stop eating shit, it deeply hurt the heart of his peerless good old Gheorghe, and then had to face the result of his lover's departure, Jonny finally knew that he couldn't live without it. He wanted to be with Gheorghe because only by having himself, not screwing everything up, could he have the courage to change and love.
Is this the best form of love in legends? Your lover will always come from afar one day, with the bits and pieces of his growth and accumulation, and meet you unexpectedly. Your body and soul are united to form a complete puzzle. In the changing seasons and the turbulent world, you can redeem each other, achieve each other, and depend on each other.
After writing this text, I suddenly felt that it is really only possible to have such love in the kingdom of God. If you can't wake up from a dream, who doesn't love Utopia~
