But no matter how much you taste, in fact, this type of film It is definitely not a simple gay version of "Qiong Yao". Because the label of "comrade" is loaded with too much weight, it may be unbearable for life. For young and ignorant boys, self-identification, recognition from the outside world, awakening The guilt, loneliness, anxiety and despair...more are hidden and repressed under disguise. The exhaustion and sadness under the appearance of youth are the real undertones of these stories.
This story is actually very ordinary, so ordinary You can find posts with similar plots on any gay forum. A straight person who loves a childhood sweetheart is a setback experience that many young comrades have had without hesitation. Their struggles are different.
The protagonists in the movie are a group of rowers. During the summer training camp by the lake, the protagonist confessed to his companions in the center of jealousy and love. A light kiss on the cheek, the strong resistance and rejection of his companions The beautiful fantasy was broken. The lost protagonist was "friendly and comforted" by another team of gay players. However, in the subsequent heavy rain, this small wave was fueled by the opposing "straight" and "comrade", and the protagonist could not Don't face sudden decisions.
Whether the so-called "symbolism" in this movie is used too much is a matter of opinion. The wind blowing from the mountains and the torrential rain pouring are a bit old-fashioned, but the focus here should be the people who were washed away by the rain that night. Although there is still a paragraph at the back of the story, the conflict from the afternoon when the truth was expressed by the lake to the night when the torrential rain caused disputes has already said everything that needs to be said. Those who hurt people, those who are hurt, those who are tolerant, Forgotten, awake, sad, peaceful... The wind and rain outside, the sleepless teenagers have their own concerns.
In my opinion, this movie is more casual as prose, with many small clips and dialogues. Touched. It also made up for the blandness of the story itself and the sluggishness of the description, as well as the ending which I thought was too good.
