non-visual enjoyment

First of all, the effect of this film is really uncomplimentable. I watched "ALIEN" two days ago. It was a film in 1979, and it felt better than this! It really doesn't look like it was in '96. But the plot is really good.
Before watching this movie, you must first prepare your mind. This is not a movie that makes you visually comfortable, especially in the first half hour, you may feel so trivial that you don't want to watch it any longer. However, good dramas come slowly. The two male protagonists in the film are quite brave. Although they have also experienced inner struggles and hesitations, they finally decided to face their sexual orientation correctly and boldly, and no longer fear the eyes of others and stand up bravely.
There are several very heartwarming scenes in the movie, including the night when JIMMY helped STI to wipe the wound, the two chased in the woods, the dialogue of JIMMY's mother accepting the truth, and the dance in the square at the end is the most memorable. The inner changes during this period also unfolded along with the film. Slowly, you will feel that the world is so beautiful. There is no indifference, no contempt, only encouragement and support!
For a gay film, it is a success, successfully shaping the love course of the two protagonists, and at the same time ideally revealing the social phenomenon that the public is slowly accepting homosexuality. There is a leading role!
