The heroine Jax is not as pink as the poster, and the tone of the whole film is not as bright as imagined, which may be a little disappointing, but fortunately, the story is enough to attract me. The assistant of a fashion magazine lives with her gay friend Peter. Like all American single women in literary and artistic works, her life is composed of three or two friends and an intimate man she doesn't love. She enjoys it because she feels Safety. Then suddenly one day she met a man, he was talented, handsome and charming, she must have been moved at that moment, but when she changed her mind, she was a little disappointed and told herself "fortunately he is gay". So she tried her best to match her friend Peter with this handsome Argentine guy. Even if she vaguely felt that she had love in her heart, she would rather ignore it because of fear and cowardice. But fortunately Paul is not gay, and fortunately Jax was brave in the end, so there was a happy ending that everyone was happy.
When the subtitles scrolled in front of me, I had no interest in the life and love of Jax and her handsome Argentine guy, but I was surprised to think "wow, how happy it is to live with a gay". Peter is a young man full of literary and artistic energy. He dreams or fantasizes about a perfect romantic love, just like many innocent girls do, looking forward to a perfect encounter, a perfect relationship and a perfect lover. It's a pity that it all returns to harsh reality in Tom's farts and purrs. During the whole process, his friend Jax was by his side, just like Peter was by her side, giving him support, understanding and concern. A woman and a man, together, give each other warmth, but not because of love.
How happy is it to live with such a man? Look at Jax, you can walk around in sexy lingerie, you can enjoy a bubble bath while chatting with the calm man by the door, you can even sit in a high chair and read a magazine, oh my god~
When you enter the door, someone rubs your feet, watches TV with a meat pad, hugs when you are sad, chats with you when you laugh, you can even share a bed with him if you want, nest in his broad and warm embrace, if you can’t, let’s talk about bedtime stories. , what a perfect life. There will be no quarrels over trivial matters such as hair, nails, or even fine hair. As long as you don't fall in love with the same man, there is basically no danger of turning your face. The safety factor is really high.
It would be nice to have such a good friend while waiting for Mr.Right, how nice it would be to have such a cohabitation life, it could be a good buddy, it could be a good sister, it was so safe. Each other can be used as an excuse to prevaricate those Mr.Wrong, "Look, I already have a boyfriend", "Mom, I'm in love with Peter" can also be used to perfunctory family white lie, when he is around How convincing all this must be.
When will a man and a woman have true friendship? The answer is when that man doesn't love any woman. Jax in the movie is full of gays, she shuttles between these men who can't love her, and she can't love them, with ease, freedom and comfort. And when she knew that Peter loved a woman, and that woman was herself, she panicked and ran away, but probably more fear than anger that she seemed to be deceived?
What is the safest distance between people? A sea? a country? Or is it just a transparent glass window? If you only want warmth and don't hurt, then living with a man who loves a man is probably the best choice, right? But are you really willing to keep thinking about another man ruthlessly in the arms of one man, causing lovesickness to become a disaster?
