John is the epitome of most adolescent children, who did not go to college and could only inherit the family business. Unhappy and helpless. Longing for the outside world, but incapable of changing it. You can only live step by step every day.
George's arrival was unexpected. He changed John's unchanging life. He let John know that life is precious and not to be given up lightly. He made John feel the warmth of being cared for for the first time. Love will follow. The two of them are really sweet. There is no need to say anything, just one expression, one look, you can know what the other party is thinking. Especially when grandma irons clothes, the eyes of the two meet, both desire and romance. After the cooking was done, and without John saying anything, George knew the taste was not right, and when he tasted it, it was a little weaker, and immediately added salt to the food. There are still a lot of these small details in the film, which can let us slowly experience the beauty of love.
What followed was that Dad found out about the two of them, and in a hurry, he had a stroke and collapsed. John hopes that George can stay longer, and George is willing, because he also fell in love with this "freak". George also hopes that John can make their relationship public, not secretive. John panicked immediately. After all, John was still younger. He was a deep cabinet. He felt that grandma and father would have an opinion. The two were at a standoff for a while, and John fled to the toilet. Unexpectedly, John couldn't resist the temptation. He and his female classmate's friend got together in the toilet and was discovered by George who came out. George also left. This description is the climax of the film. John is young and frivolous, and is generally hard to resist the temptation of the outside world. Did you say he was wrong? Of course it's wrong. Now that I have established a relationship with George, I also hope that the other party will stay. As soon as I turn my head, I have a shot with the others. This is not what a scumbag is. But this is the reality. For the sudden love, John felt both romance and pressure. He was not as calm and thoughtful as George. His first reaction was to escape. People tend to do stupid things in this state.
And when George found out about John's evasion and infidelity, he immediately left with a bag. I like the handling here, without too much entanglement and nostalgia. And people often know how to cherish it after losing it. In the process of managing the farm and taking care of his father alone, John finally saw his heart clearly, understood the importance of George, showed his cards to his father, and rushed to George. , brought George home with his sincerity.
The ending is a happy ending, but I always feel that it is not so happy. Maybe this is what this show wants us to think about. For John, George's appearance is like a ray of dawn, illuminating his ordinary and dead life. George gave him everything: work—helping with the farm; life—cooking for him; mentally—helping him up and promising him to stay to lighten his burden; physical—being with him Go to cloud and rain. What George only wants is a beautiful and sincere love. And John, who enjoyed all this, gradually understood the difficulty of life and the hard work of his father. This is growth. But he forgot the need of George who gave him all this, backed off when he should have taken a step, and did the wrong thing. This is the price required for growth, and it is also the detour in love.
We always like and always hope that love is beautiful, sweet and complete, but there are so many fairy tales in the real world, and so many princes and princesses. People are inherently complex and changeable, they can be fragile, worried, timid, and evasive, but they can also become strong, calm, brave, and responsible because of someone, something, and a certain point in time. This all requires a process to settle. And such a process, such a journey, we call it growth.
