you are my Shelter

This is my first film review, and it's definitely not a commemoration. Rather, it is to build a bridge for my possible mistakes, so as not to be embarrassed and internally hurt by being pointed out.

I have always been discouraged by deep and serious movies, so I still have to rely on short reviews for gay films that I am not familiar with. When I saw the words "beautiful and romantic mess" in the short reviews, I was blown away. Still stuck in it.

The two handsome guys, among which Zack looks exactly like Edison Chen-----I have always been disliked by that fellow, which fully proves that the two are just looks, not gods. Shaun has a great figure, a very responsible and charming personality, and the two are very harmonious and well-matched together.

The nympho is over. Just like a person who looks pure and amiable may be a shrew at all, those who shout I love you with their mouths every day, and the people I need may be the ones who distort your character. Zack's sister is clearly the epitome of this type of person, and maybe he should have brought his half-dead dad with him. Zack was obviously forced out in this environment, and it may seem like the backbone of the family, but it's actually very fragile. Fortunately, love is sometimes used to save and shelter. If Shaun's perfect appearance is not a coincidence in life, which explanation can explain that?

And the person who really cares about you, loves you, protects you, why should you care if he is a man or a woman, a friend who has never met for many years, is close by or far away - you know these are not conditions for love. If you're talking about love, well, except for feelings, we're talking about anything other than superfluous.

Shaun and Zack wiped out the waves of micro-electricity when they first met, full of ambiguous sentiment. Shaun's self-confident and tolerant character was clearly displayed in front of Zack. Zack had to be infected in such a gas field, and those potentials that had been hidden for a long time were discovered by Shaun. He was so casual that he called himself a student and called Teacher Shaun. Even when the two used the pager they hadn't used in years, Zack was so arrogant. This is the compatibility of the two people's exhaled air flow, and it is the kind of emotion that only two people can speak for themselves.

If the quarrel in the back is the run-in of the uncertain relationship between the two, then their first meeting is the chance for the two to touch and collide slightly in their hearts. This is like those elusive emotions. From the moment I saw you for the first time, it may indicate that our relationship seems to have infinite sublimation possibilities. And to others, sorry, I have no interest or patience.

So in the second half, the director began to use his perfect and skilled bridges to confirm such a possibility. Zack likes to paint graffiti in his spare time, and stay silent for a long time on the shore. Shaun is a good script writer, and such a somewhat similar inner temperament allows Shaun's understanding and tolerance to point directly to Zack's heart, soothing Zack's weakest and most defensive places. So you can often hear Zack say something shy and annoyed to Shaun, I've never said that to anyone else. At that time, Shaun was engrossed in entering Zack's little world, flipping through his graffiti albums, praising his artistic talents that were not understood and valued by outsiders.

When the things you hide with cruelty and strength are accepted and cherished by another person without boundaries, you can only do this except slowly fall in love with him and rely on him.

In addition, what Zack needs to face is the identification of gay identity, which the film shows from two aspects: self-identification and secular acceptance. After Zack had an awkward encounter with Shaun for the first time, he couldn't hold back the fanatical desire for Shaun in his heart, and took the initiative to attack Shaun, which was the key to the determination of the relationship between the two. Then the relationship between the two went underground, and because of the constant incandescence, they faced a public crisis--apparently such a crisis was only for Zack. Once again Zack lost his temper at Shaun because of such troubles.

For Shaun--maybe for viewers like us, all of Zack's problems come from himself. Shaun said to Zack in the car, you have to bring up the needs of life. take it, take it, you for yourself, not for others.

Such an important lesson, let Zack know how to respect himself, like the people he likes, and pursue what he pursues. Such an important lesson, I would say Shaun taught him.
The understanding of truth in life is always after some pain and suffering, but fortunately our director knows that we always need a happy ending to satisfy our pure kindness and yearning for perfection after gossip - or the director's feelings for such of hope. The clumsy and sensitive student Zack finally delivered a satisfactory answer before Shaun, the most affectionate teacher, left. Zack held the pager that used to transmit tenderness at Shaun's house and said sorry to Shaun. Shaun's heart is already half warm, while he still maintains a rational temperature and asks Zack what has changed, Zack calmly says me, I have changed. It is undoubtedly the most gratifying to Lai Shaun that his beloved baby is willing to accept his love and comfort. The core contradiction between the two has been resolved, and only the infinitely warm and affectionate embrace remains.

When I saw Shaun and Zack walking towards Zack's house hand in hand, I suddenly thought what a beautiful and emotional wish it would be to have a lover to be married. We always hope that good things can be paired and life can be happy-----you can say that I am simple and naive and don't care about the world. After experiencing many misfortunes, lamentables and sorrows in life, it is so profound and compassionate to have such a simple and clean willingness!

PS: This movie is really good to watch, I have already stored it in my P4 and can't bear to delete it.
