It's not just heterosexuality-about the American movie "Guess and Seek" (aka "Love, Addicted") Are you happy? Or: Are you gay? The American film "Guess the Love" starring Ben Affleck, the male protagonist of "Pearl Harbor", is a love story between a man and a woman, but because the woman was once a homosexual, this film was classified In the unit of gay movies, in fact, different people can see different storylines from different angles. You can say that this movie is about heterosexuality, because it is a man who impresses a gay woman. , But the story finally developed unexpectedly and dramatically. We can also say that this movie is about homosexuality, because it is this woman who makes men realize that they are homosexual. Homosexuality is indeed a difficult subject to deal with, and vulgar and low-level films like the early "Bird Cage" also show its difficulty to a certain extent. The consternation on and off the screen brought by Collier's "Crazy Night" also shows how much we have to pay in order to truly face life naked. "Guess Love" is the new director Kevin. Smith is another serious work that explores the relationship between the sexes after "Crazy Clerk". The vernacular and realistic love philosophy will be both erotic and humorous. The film uses humorous vocabulary to talk about spicy topics, directly hitting the romantic lies and courtship tricks whitewashed in life, even though its ability to grasp the plot process and the development of human nature is still Slightly immature, but the light comedy he dealt with has been widely welcomed in the United States. The reason should be his sincere and tolerant attitude and humanistic exploration of this physiological phenomenon. The male protagonist Horden McNeill played by Ben Affleck and his friend Banchi Edward are successful cartoonists. They live together, have similar interests, and are a pair of sincere friends. Soon they met the female author. Alisha, this pretty blonde woman immediately showed a keen interest in Holden, and Holden was also attracted by her enthusiasm and cheerfulness, so Alisha invited Holden to participate in a PARTY between her and her friend. What made Holden unbelievable happened. It turned out that Alisha was a homosexual. She invited Holden to participate. It was a party where lesbians gathered. When Holden saw a pair of women hugging and kissing each other. In shock and anger, he left Alisha. But Alisha came later and she told Holden that she would be friends with him, best friend. Facing Alisha's enthusiastic and frank eyes, Holden couldn't refuse her request, and they began a sincere spiritual exchange and exploration. Holden and Alisha discussed a lot of questions, Holden asked Alisha directly, what is a woman, he thinks that women should like men by nature, Alisha Immediately asked, do you think men are the only reason to attract women? They also talked about the definition of virginity. Alisha said that as long as a woman has sex, whether she is with a man or a woman, she is not a virgin; however, Holden stubbornly believes that according to normal standards, women can only have sex with men. , Is a woman. Both parties did not convince each other, but Eliza's frank and natural talk (she even told Hoden about her sex with a woman) deeply moved Hoden. Hoden accepted her friendship and began to correct. My own concept of homosexuality, and at the same time, an inexplicable affection began to grow in the hearts of the two of them, and both of them felt panic about this. Finally, in a rainy night, Holden told Alisha his inner feelings. He said that Alisha was exactly what he had been looking for for many years, and Alisha's tears flowed from her eyes as the rumbling thunderstorm sounded. Here, they hugged tightly. However, Holden couldn’t let go of Elisa’s past. After the intense sexual intercourse, he still kept asking Eliza if she really fell in love with herself. Elisa told him that he was exactly what she had been in. Looking for it, she said, she agreed with Holden's view that it is natural for a woman and a man to be together. At this point in the movie, the love of men and women seems to have a destination, but, obviously, this is not the answer that the director wants, because the true climax of the movie has not yet arrived. Alisha's past is not just as simple as being gay. As early as the girlhood, she had sexual interactions with many different opposite sexes, and this is tantamount to a heavy blow to Holden—— He always thought that Alyssa had returned to a normal track because of herself, but never thought that she was just probably a piece of talk in the history of this woman's romantic history. Beauvoir once discussed this phenomenon in "Second Sex". She believes that some heterosexual women deliberately disguise themselves as "homosexual" in order to attract the attention of men. Kissing or caressing attracts men’s curious eyes; Chinese sociologist Li Yinhe also believes that this is related to the situation of lesbians in a heterosexual patriarchal society, because lesbians have not been regarded as a kind of independent existence for a long time. Sexual orientation is, therefore, lesbians are generally regarded by society as nothing more than a disorder in women's lives. In other words, lesbians as a sexual identity are often ignored by heterosexual society. Did the heroine deliberately set up Horden in this "guessing" Alisha's "homosexuality"? Or is this just an alternative attempt in her life? Maybe different people will get different explanations. But as some netizens have pointed out, men may be able to accept "sexual chaos" between women of the same sex, but if the object of a woman's derailment is another opposite sex, the situation is quite different. On the other hand, Bunch, a friend of Horden, also found it difficult to accept the relationship between Horden and Alisha, so he also began to look for evidence of Alisha's past sexual disorder. Banche’s pain and jealousy were like a big rock, deeply pressed into Holden’s heart. He found that he was so concerned about Banche’s feelings about it, and he began to wonder if he really fell in love with Alisha, or, It's just because of curiosity that I have such a deviating chance. After the collision between heart and heart, both Holden and Banche had to face the fact that they both had unspeakable feelings for each other deep in their hearts. The seeds of homosexuality were buried in the hearts of the two men! However,-they must face it, and only when they face it, can they really find the key to open the door of their hearts. As the film progresses, new questions constantly hit our minds, forcing us to think about questions that are constantly emerging-are homosexuality and heterosexuality opposed? When Alisha told her gay female partners that she fell in love with a man, all the women’s faces became extremely shocked and angry. At this time, Alisha knew that she and them would never be together again. . Are men and women opposed? When Horden told Alisha that he could have sex with her, but asked her to accept his love with another man, Alisha immediately slapped him. She said that she was not a tool for men to vent their desires. However, before leaving, she also gave Holden a warm hug. She said that she really fell in love with him, and her sincerity touched Holden. At this time, we saw Holden, a big man’s tears, Just like this, it kept flowing down silently. Everything seems to imply how powerless we are when facing our true emotions, and how jealousy can destroy people's souls. Homosexuality is not just a matter of single sex in any sense, it is about both sexes, and it is expanding and testing people's experience of life. It can be said that the composition of society and the network of personnel are more decisive for sexual orientation than physiological factors. In fact, this also shows us the deformity and morbidity of the space in which we live, and we are physiologically innocent. The guilty thing is to make the natural unnatural and the unnatural into compulsory! Although the film can be easily filmed, it can stretch our nerves, but for those who are passionate about life, it may also provide a different perspective on life, allowing us to temporarily break away from the inherent route and make a wild dive. The movie is just such a glider.
