D'angelo 2022-03-24 09:03:18

The Saxby family lived on a farm in the north of England. Grandmother, father and son, son John is gay and he hides this from his family. John is very rebellious, hangovers every night, and seems to be in a cold war with his father who is inconvenient to walk and lean on crutches. Every day, he is only driven to manage the farm, and at the same time, he secretly makes an appointment with him. But when the other person wanted to kiss or tease him, he violently pressed the other person, started having sex, and stopped contacting after that, just venting. John lived like a dead body, aimlessly, mocking his classmates who went to college in the city. The family is the harbor that he resists and relies on for life.

One day, the Saxbys brought in a young man named Georgi to help out with the farm. John taunted him at first, calling him a gypsy who he didn't want to be called, asking him if he was of Pakistani descent, saying that the phone he brought was useless, and slammed the door against his ear. Georgi learns about the farm from John's father, but they have no common language and the conversation ends with cheese. The conflict between John and his father deepened. The father yelled at his son in front of Georgi, and Georgi sneaked to the window to peek.

John and Georgi ran the farm together. John complained and urged Georgi to work, but he did nothing. Georgi mended fences, delivered ewes, rubbed them with hay to keep them warm, cut the skins of dead sheep and put them on them, and fed them with milk bottles. John scratched his hand by moving a stone, and Georgi spit on his palm to disinfect him. Georgi took off his clothes and wiped his body, while John stared silently into the distance with his back to him. On a night full of the warm yellow of the bonfire, the two of them were pretending to be asleep, turning their bodies from time to time.

The next day, John and Georgi were fighting on the land. After a fierce fight, Georgi pressed on John and said he knew what John was and he would fuck him hard, John Blowjob for Georgi. One evening later, it was still a warm fire, and the two were frank with each other. Georgie teased John's breasts and kissed violently. He taught John how to make love, how to enjoy the process, not only Just for the final climax.

On a farm in the north of England, the wind is cold and the farm is deserted, but the seeds of love can sprout. Georgie said John was "freak", and they both said with a smile that the other was "faggot", which ended with "fuck off". Georgie took John to see the endless beautiful fields and the human lights below, and experience the beauty of all things. The short sabbatical period came, and the two returned to the Saxby house together. They chatted naked in the bathtub, and John asked Georgi how he pronounced his language, farm, sheep, and finally asked "cock", Georgi answered calmly "cock". Georgi makes macaroni for John, seasoned, refined and loving. John learned to love, and he helped his grandmother with the housework, making her grandmother wonder if he was sick.

John and Georgi returned to the farm camp, and before they set off, they made a fuss, smearing dirt on each other's faces. This scene was seen by John's father, who suddenly fainted from a stroke while returning home on crutches, and was rushed to the hospital by his grandmother. John and Georgi also came, John was at a loss, Georgi touched his index finger to each other, gave him support, and scrabbling sugar granules when John entered the ward, I don't know it myself. In the ward, his father was still in a coma. John stared at his father on the hospital bed and touched his father's hand.

The grandmother came and told John that his father would live in a wheelchair and that Georgi could stay a little longer. In this way, John and Georgi returned to the farm and went to a tavern to drink. John told Georgi the news, Georgi agreed but believed that the farm had no way out, and the two had estrangement and contradictions. John went to the toilet annoyed, and saw the man who had had a sex with him before, and the two were engaged in the toilet cubicle again. Georgie was also in a state of boredom, and was provoked by another person in the tavern. Georgi also came to the bathroom and saw John hanging out with others. He rushed out to breathe angrily, and then met John who also went out. He wanted to punch him, but couldn't, and finally left by himself.

John's life seems to be returning to the past, but it is different, but he is still purposeless, like a walking dead. The father and grandmother came back, and the grandmother found the condom left after the two had sex and flushed down the toilet in disgust. John dresses his father to take a shower, and his father suddenly takes his hand and says "thank you". Later, the father and son talked for a long time on the field. John expressed that he wanted to find Georgi. He saw the address of a farm where he worked on the clothes he left, and he would not leave and abandon them. Father looked at John observantly and asked "Is that makes you happy", John said yes. My father said go look for it, and everyone praised him for putting up a fence.

John set off under the heavy gaze of his grandmother, took the long-distance bus, came to the farm alone, asked where Georgi was, and fell asleep waiting. Georgi came to him, and John didn’t say what he meant when he woke up, but said meaningless words and greetings like an old friend for many years, Georgi listened to him and said, “I didn’t want you to The answer you were looking for", turned and left.

Then John woke up, grabbed Georgy, and expressed that he hoped that he would come back. Georgi asked if he was finished, John finished, the two hugged, kissed, and felt each other with their hearts.

On the bus back, John fell asleep. He was too tired. He tilted his neck and leaned on Georgi's shoulder on the left. Georgie also leaned on his head, and the road was bumpy.

"The Kingdom of God" is the debut film written and directed by British director Francis Lee in 2017. The Kingdom of God is a title for many places. The farmland in northern England in this film has its own wild power and vitality. The background of the story is placed here, and it couldn't be better. The casting of the movie is also very good. John's wolf-dog-like image often droops his eyelids as if he hasn't woken up. Georgie's beard brings out the strength of his warm male boyfriend. The image of the father looking suspicious and the grandmother duo caring about John's well-being is also well established. The shaping of the environment is good, and the film also spends a lot of ink to show agricultural life, check the pregnancy of cows, feed lambs to deliver warm milk, and build fences. There are many details in the plot, every bit of life, Georgie's English is really accented, in fact, the Saxby family's dialogue is very down-to-earth, the atmosphere of the north of England, and foreign language learners of various usages are completely ignorant. . There are many places in the film that are very similar to "Brokeback Mountain", after all, it is a classic among classics. This film is also known as the British "Brokeback Mountain". The most satisfying and gratifying thing is that the ending of the film is finally consummated, which is the progress of society.

No more Jack will be beaten to death by anti-gay people, only Ennis will spend the rest of his life going to I swear, instead John will sleep on Georgi's shoulder on the bus. People's concepts have changed, the society's concepts have changed, and people's behaviors are also greatly influenced by the opinions and evaluations of others in society. Society is progressing, gradually becoming enlightened, and moving forward. We must also look at this with optimism, and be genuinely happy, as if infused with the warmth of a farm in the north of England. I believe that the story of John and Georgi will continue to happen. In the cold wind, warmth will never be absent. It is just ahead, watching and silently waiting for you, preparing for you to see it again after a long time. like joy.
