Best gay movie I've seen so far. The cowboy in Brokeback Mountain finally agreed to Jack's love, but Jack was no longer there. And this Kingdom of God is not only filmed, the background, and the plot are not inferior to Brokeback Mountain, and the final ending is happy and does not seem blunt.
Let's talk about the soundtrack first. There is very little background music in the whole movie. Once, it sounded when the two stood on the hillside and looked out at the pasture. Once was The Days when the last two were sitting on the bus with Johnny leaning on Gheorghe's shoulder. The film is extremely quiet, very quiet, like a dull ranch life. That's true of life on the ranch, but with these two additions to the background music, as if Gheorghe is sprinkling Johnny's tasteless spaghetti and seasoning in a can, life has a taste, and the whole movie has a taste.
Next, let's talk about growth, which is also the most important point in this film. Johnny's growth is very natural, and many of his actions are learned from Gheorghe. He has a more meticulous and loving attitude towards life on the ranch, and his way of doing things can be imagined. His attitude towards his family also made him more responsible for the family because of his father's stroke and hemiplegia. Until the end, Johnny went from faltering and insinuating that he wanted Gheorghe back, to finally fully revealing his love for Gheorghe, which was also brought about by his love and attachment to Gheorghe.
I really like the character of Gheorghe, first of all I really like the looks of Eastern Europeans. Secondly, I really appreciate Gheorghe's attitude towards life. He could see that there were not only flocks of cattle and sheep in the pasture, endless farm work, endless milking, but also beautiful fields, lovely lambs, and the affection of animals. He tried his best to deal with a newborn sheep that was dying in Johnny's eyes and couldn't save it, and for the dead sheep, he also tried to make their lives meaningful. He knows that his country is dead, but he never forgets every beautiful spring in his hometown. In the end, he just left because of Johnny's infidelity to him, he didn't even take his luggage, sweater, let alone ask grandma for a little salary. Such a brave and strong departure was as brave as when Jane Eyre learned that Rochester had a crazy wife and left directly.
In the end, this movie allows us to see that gay love brings us not only lust, flesh, but also growth. A healthy relationship, regardless of gender, allows one to learn and grow.
Thanks to this movie, he made me feel more confident and courageous about same-sex relationships.
