In fact, this film involves a lot of issues worth thinking about: gay lifestyle, the meaning of sex, attitudes towards sex, care for AIDS patients, the relationship between religious beliefs and religious teachings, and the degree of their impact on individuals, death and so on. I don't want to talk about heavy topics, the cold and wet weather in the past two weeks has been enough to make people feel depressed, and I don't want to make myself bored with words.
In fact, the overall style of the movie is relaxed. Although there are gloomy links in the middle, the happy ending is always happy. Yalun's words about life like a spot of light run through the whole article, and also reveal the ideological development trajectory of this cute big boy: from the confusion and confusion at the beginning, to the understanding that life should be given holistic care, and then At the end of the day, the recognition and expectations for their future life. In the same way, Kristin's journey to volunteer food distribution for AIDS patients, almost flatteringly, has also brought about a sea change in the meaning of his life. As a result, Aaron, who was born in a fundamentalist family, was finally able to escape the sadness of his individual identity being wiped out and face up to his own needs; and Christine, a handsome man who had always been sexually promiscuous before, gradually realized the meaning of love for sex and began to Pursue your true love. In the end, what is the essential difference between the happiness of every john has his jack and the beauty of "the princess and the prince live a happy life from now on"?
Of course, life is always created and changed by oneself, no matter what obstacles or confusions you face, even if it is a deviation from the dogma you have memorized, even if it is a complete denial of the previous way of life - the key is whether Discover the life you want and have the courage to face the pressures that this choice may bring. Submission to pressure is self-destruction, and Aaron struggled to escape from this hell. So, if you have the happiness you consider yourself to be, go for it—happiness, isn’t this the meaning and goal of our life?
