What struck me most in the film were two conversations, the first of which was a brief conversation between the two men after they were re-arrested and before Morris was arraigned. In the name of love, only to find that you don't know the other person surrounded by lies at all. What kind of sadness is this? Or perhaps this film raises the question, is love full of lies real love?
The answer is: yes.
This is not only the answer given by this film, but also the answer I have come up with, and I don’t want to admit it but it’s the truth. I don't know how many people have talked about such a relationship full of lies as in the movie. I swear over and over again that I will never lie to you. It was dismantled in the next second. It is not only the deceiver who is tired, but also the deceived. It seems to be some kind of interesting game that goes back and forth, completely entering an infinite loop, and sinking into the sadness that can't be freed from it. But this is not the saddest, the saddest is that we still love each other. love it. love.
Very contradictory, isn't it? Saying that you lie to me again, I will leave you immediately. As a result, he saw the power of the thought in his heart that he wanted to be together more clearly. I can't forgive but I forgive again and again. Because it is forbidden love, a more tenacious belief is born. While thinking that I can't let go easily, I continue to deceive with my unchanging nature. And we also know that we will continue to love. Facts are facts. Just like no matter how helpless, you have to face up to your own feelings.
In the film, Steve has changed various occupations, identities, and constantly deceived others and himself in the name of love. Talking about it for Morris, wanting him to have a good life—probably even that is an excuse. And when he was arrested, he kept breaking out of jail. Every Black Friday was the day they met. Even the police knew that Steve would be caught by guarding Morris's house, but he still wanted to escape, go to meet him. It's like he spent a long time playing a terminally ill and dying scene, just to see him and say a few words. That's all. People in love are greedy. But they are also humble.
And the second paragraph that struck me was the one that Steve was in the nursing home, and Morris said it through the receiver. "I think we just fell in love, and we didn't even start." - A certain corner of the bottom of the center was hit by the moment. I never doubted the love between Steve and Morris. They are indeed in love. I have always believed in one sentence. In the beginning, two people didn't need too many reasons to be together, maybe because of happiness, maybe because of one sentence, maybe because of a small thing. At this point, I probably liked it. However, when two people are unhappy together and want to be together, at this time, it should be love.
It's like, knowing full of lies, but still unable to restrain the determination to want to be together. I deceived the world and I deceived myself. But there is at least one thing to figure out, that you do love. I love you, maybe that's all there is to it, even if it's just this one - it's not a lie.
