Longing for love and freedom, neither wind nor rain

At first, I thought that Mark would live happily with Kay in the barracks, just like the two male protagonists in "Song of the Boat" strolling through the streets of Paris at midnight. But the presence of the housewife makes me feel that things are not so simple.

The title of the film is called free fall, but the film is not actually about free fall. Mark is not free in the film, and looking for a boyfriend is not necessarily a fall. This is not in line with everyone's inherent morality. There are so many things to express, including the fetters of the family, the hardships and sorrows of adulthood, and the pressure of public opinion...

I feel that the male protagonist's wife is also under a lot of pressure. She has continued to have sex since she became pregnant in the film, and more than once, so her strength is also revealed here. The suspicion and questioning of her husband made people feel very uncomfortable. She has family responsibilities and the enjoyment of her rights, and the most important thing is that she is a bit like homophobia. (Of course not as serious as that policeman. Oh, speaking of that person, he is a dead fat man, but it also really reflects the psychological state of some people in the society).

If I had to say that there was one person who made a mistake, I think it was Kay. But from another point of view, it's not wrong for him to boldly like the person he likes, but it's just that the time, place, and conditions are not correct. The two male protagonists have missed the best time in their lives. On the way to their love, there are There are too many fetters and resistances, family pressure, social condemnation, ridicule, contempt and contempt from peers. Kai fought back fiercely for the dead fat man, but Ma Ke had the slightest trace of worries and concerns.

A combination of all the unfavorable factors prevented them from being together in the end. The fuse was that the two kissed in the hospital and were seen by Mark's mother. She hopes that Mark can get married, have children, start a family and start a business like all other ordinary men. And homosexuality is wrong for most people, not recognized let alone accepted. It is also determined by the inherent concepts of society and the inevitable conditions of human development. The mother and the wife are two of this kind of people, and two of the most important people in Mark's life. Had to choose between Kai and his mother's wife.

At the end of the film, I can't see Kay during the run. I forgot whether Kay participated in the run at the beginning... It seems that there is. In general, it is very sad after reading it, but it is also real and happening, let us have more revelation, you make me feel how happy, beautiful, pure and precious the people who truly love each other are (especially in "Same Boat") "Love Song", "Please Call Me By Your Name", "Please Find Me With Your Love").
