In the teenage years, most people crave love. As Wilhelm's mother said: "When you are young, you feel that love is the most important thing in the world".
Wilhelm, who grew up in the public eye, has no friends who can really understand him. He is always cautious in life, fragile in his heart and often pretends to be strong. Only when he is alone with his brother Erik dares to play and laugh. Therefore, in the process of contact with Simon, there is often a bit of uncertainty. After several partings and reunions, I dared to slowly open my heart and express my true emotions. Compared with Simon, Wilhelm is brave to move forward but afraid to face it. When the two got along, Wilhelm was also the more active one. In order to accompany Simon to watch the game, he also took the risk of lying and not training, but when faced with the possibility of being discovered by others, he would unconsciously start to retreat. Wilhelm has always wanted his will to overcome the pressure of the royal family, but he has always been frustrated. But from the eyes at the end, I can see that he has made up his mind to truly be himself, whether it is for his lover or to balance the waves in his heart, he is ready to release his emotions and make himself truly strong Get up, no longer be crushed by heavy pressure.
The film has been following Wilhelm's footsteps to expand the world, and Simon may not know so well. Simon also just transferred to this school. As a non-resident student, that is, a day student, he and his sister Sara take the bus to school every day. Probably because the others were noble students, Simon was not popular with his classmates, and he was openly ridiculed and ridiculed when he performed in the choir, until the arrival of this different noble student. Wilhelm was the only one who would take the initiative to chat with Simon. It was as if he suddenly walked out of the jungle and saw the sun, which was very warm and heartwarming. Simon should have come out very early. Although he would go to see his father, who had been away for many years, without telling his mother and sister, he usually gets along very well with them, and there is no family pressure. In my opinion, Simon is a very soft-hearted person who has repeatedly left because of Wilhelm's words, and always chooses to forgive after hearing a few good words. Simon's heart should also be swaying, not sure whether the other party really likes and cares about him, insecurity and emotion meet, leading to emotional reversal and tossing and turning. It was not until I finally woke up that I understood my real needs, and I was no longer willing to be the one who was hidden, and chose to leave according to myself. The last sentence "I wish you a Merry Christmas", with reluctance and emotion for Wilhelm, respect and determination for himself. More appropriate than "Goodbye" and more intriguing than "I love you too".
The feeling that this work brings to me is progressive and surging. It has no vain filters, no stereotyped beauty, and the details on the actors' faces are clearly visible, which makes it easier for me to be drawn into the presented scene and to feel the emotions exuded by their age. The emotion it expresses is extremely clean and goes straight to the bottom of my heart. The fingers that slowly intersect, the eyes that hesitate to speak; the madness to vent after drinking, the thoughts that finally follow the heart; the leisurely fun of the two of them walking by the river, the lust that is on the verge of triggering, all of which make people deeply immersed in it and difficult to do so. extricate themselves. This is its unique charm, and the dedication of the two performers makes this work even more soulful.
Actor Edvin Ryding, who plays Wilhelm, was born in 2003. His performance is delicate and natural, his emotional transformation is just right, and his inner drama expression is also touching. Actor Omar Rudberg who played Simon was born in 1998 and was originally a singing and dancing singer. He auditioned for a friend who played a supporting role in the play and won the role of Simon in one fell swoop. His interpretation is also relatively natural, and he sings two episodes in the film. How should I put it, after watching it, I feel like I haven't seen enough, and I have already begun to look forward to whether there will be a second season. The various interviews with the two protagonists also make people feel very natural and loving. I hope they can develop better. Of course, the most important thing is that if there is a second season, it will come soon!
