1. Idaho - Those faint memory fragments are the beginning of Mike's most poetic caring
film. Mike stood on an endless road, murmured about his life experience, his own past, his own injuries, that locked in The words in his throat seemed to have been uttered after tearing his soul countless times. He was in so much pain that he had no sense of belonging, and he was in so much pain that he forced himself to lie down. The only remaining fragments kept rolling in my mind. The mother is like his first and last insistence, all the sunshine is clinging to the mother's figure, so real that he never leaves. However, no matter how splendid and traceless a large wheat field is, it can't console Mike's sense of emptiness.
So he only has to go back to the road leading to Idaho again and again, or leave the road in Idaho, smelling the faint smell that once had, making the icy soul desperate or hysterical rebirth.
At the end of the film, it is still this empty and lost road, still the beautiful face, and still the suffocating loneliness. In the end he lay down hopelessly. Because he has no idea where the next stop will be. He didn't have the courage to go any further.
The journey of life is like his journey, starting in Idaho, ending in Idaho, and the Scott he met, he loved so deeply, so earnestly, and could not be let down.
2. Portland and Seattle - those days of being together were Mike's deepest reliance.
Scott started to be with Mike in this way, and once made Mike fall into eternal happiness, despite how many times Mike suspected that this was too much The dazzling sunshine, but he still recklessly stretched out his hand and copied Scott's handsome silhouette over and over again in his heart, so that the imprint became deeper and deeper and could no longer be erased.
Maybe it was the insecurity that never faded that made Mike love so earnestly, so sweetly, and so selflessly when love came, even if he would be willing to worry, he still Dive into it, either vigorously or alone to death. And who else could fall in love with his deep love, even Scott, always felt lingering fears.
Scott started the search with Mike like this, all the way from Portland to Seattle, from Idaho to Italy, looking for those images that even Mike has been fragmented, but Scott always seemed so willing, always that It's like the wind and the fire, maybe it's this unhesitating promise that makes Mike stay on the edge of happiness again and again, he's never sure about the truth of love, but he loves more persistently and harder than anyone else.
I remember Mike's hesitant confession to Scott before the bonfire that night. The stammered confession was so bad that all the viewers cried, because of Mike's most persistent and pure love. We all thought he was always in need of protection, and he always treated the world innocently, but at that moment, we knew that he thought farther than anyone else, and his worries were still accompanied by the initial sense of insecurity. not gone.
Scott said. "And two guys can't love each other."
Mike said. I mean, for me, I could love someone even if I, you know, wasn't paid for it... I love you, and... you don't pay me. (I mean, for me , I can fall in love with someone, even if it's not for money...I love you...and you don't have to pay me.)
Mike said. I really wanna kiss you, man... Well goodnight, man... I love you though... You know that... I do love you. Love you, you know, I really love you.)
At last. Mike cuddled up on Scott's shoulder. The bonfire had burned out Mike's whispered confession, but it couldn't burn the stubborn and humble love in his heart.
3. Italy - The quiet turn and departure is the most unbearable destruction
for Mike. The end of this journey should have ended with Mike finding his mother in Italy. If so, then the story is at least somewhat consoling. However, the reality is crueler and more deadly than imagined.
Scott is getting married. This moment came unexpectedly, but it always felt so natural.
In fact, from the very beginning, Scott was different from Mike and the others. He became a male prostitute just because he had nowhere to rest in his heart, while Mike was compromising with the reality of reality. In fact, there has always been an insurmountable distance between them, which is the deep-rooted sense of fate between classes and the most fundamental difference in life between marginal groups and mainstream groups. A love that is fragile and precarious, in the pull of reality, shattered without any trace.
So their love parted ways in Italy.
At this time, you may feel emotional, did Scott actually love Mike, was that love, or Mike's reliance on his will. No one knows, and in fact no one wants to get into it. No matter what the result was, it was too cruel to Mike.
The last two funerals were fatal to Mike. Is the ambiguity that happened just Mike's fantasy, and the body temperature that we have accompanied together is just Mike's extravagant hope. When the eyes meet, Scott is terrifyingly calm, and Mike struggles to contain his panic, the more he tries to find out why, the more he hurts himself. Because in this moth-to-fire love, whoever loves deeply will have to bear the tricks of fate.
Mike has returned to a person's loneliness again, he never hides how much he loves, he never forgets how to love without hesitation, but often loves too much and ends up with scars.
Mike wasn't wrong, neither was Scott. They are not unsuitable. It's just that those who have the ability to change choose to compromise reality, while those who do not have the ability to change their lives choose to override reality. Such extreme contradictions will eventually collapse one day.
At this time, after walking through ignorant Portland, through crazy Seattle, through broken love Holland, through icy Italy, Mike is already exhausted, I can't bet where he will go tomorrow. I just hope that when he wakes up, the person next to him treats him better, that's enough.
