A herbivorous man, a meat-eating man, two men foraging for just two days on weekends should be refreshing and without aftertaste. The plate of light food, how to make it unforgettable in the end, stuck in the throat. Before the defense was taken off, the shadow of desire spread to the heart first. The small encounter on the weekend can be so low, but the physical and mental tearing after the melee the night before can continue to hurt until dawn. "When Love Meets at the Weekend" is named after the sentence pattern of Ethan Hawke and Julie Butterfly's masterpiece "Love at the Break of Dawn", but it is an encounter of another dimension and another tone, but "mutually when meeting each other" The light that shines" is just as brilliant.
"Love at the Break of Dawn" made many young men and women ignite their enthusiasm for "soul mate" and "destined accident". However, "When Love Meets at the Weekend" has the same trivial romantic dialogue. Other than that, there is no way to give this doomed syrup. Gay-themed movies have always been a typical blockbuster, but in fact, works like "Seventeen-Year-Old Sky" are mainly comedy and even slightly dreamy. "When Love Met Over the Weekend" is not so easy. In addition to packaging it with "encounter" as the emotional trigger, in fact, its essence is to deal with the theme of "inside the cabinet". Let alone homosexuality, I believe this is true for all vulnerable sexual orientations - how to reveal your true desires, and to what extent, will always depend on how you identify with yourself, and self-identity It just happens to be a complex subject that will always be extravagant. In the detailed life details, Russell and Glenn let Russell and Glenn explore each other's body, and share all kinds of experiences and thoughts with each other-maybe there will never be a conclusion about identity and identity, but obviously we should not stop thinking.
These two are so different—
Russell, a lifeguard who works in the swimming pool, is introverted and has nowhere to go except his own house and friends' houses. Without a home, I don’t know who my parents are, and I wandered between foster families until I was 16 years old. He is content with the status quo. He says that he only feels comfortable when he is in his own room.
Glenn, who works in an art gallery—may be lucky to have a family where he can rebel against hatred. He has a wide range of contacts but is still uneasy in the room. He can talk about sex in ordinary bars, and even argue with strange men, but he seems to be afraid of being stereotyped by certain values. Inexplicably longing for the United States, because he said that only there, the revolution can take to the streets.
In addition to being good-looking and smooth, this film also shows a meticulous and restrained structure. The in- and out-of-the-box affairs about homosexuality. When two people explore each other's bodies and exchange emotions, they are actually delicately woven through dialogue. The agitation of different viewpoints. Andrew Haigh, the editor and director who used to do most of the editing work in the past, made the film extremely introspective, not sloppy and concise, and there was a lot to see. Especially in the film dealing with the appearance of the two people in various spaces, it is a design that quite matches the content. Audiences can see how restrained and silent Russell is in the swimming pool where he strips his shirt off, even in his own home, and when Glenn hears cursing outside the window in his house, he opens the window and tries to swear back without stopping it—continuing until Ben. The "inside the window" at the end of the film allows the audience to see how one of them protects themselves and does not want to disturb the outside world or anyone, while the other is how to publicize themselves, and wants to teach, attack, and pass on their own way of existence. to anyone.
Two seemingly contradictory personalities, but in the end, they both gradually found themselves out of place in the society. Whether they are with "their people" or whether they have true friends, loneliness really is a very personal trouble that has nothing to do with identity or ethnicity. And perhaps it is precisely because of the same loneliness that has nowhere to vent that it leads to their common hobby—documentation. Russell wrote a record in words, writing down the growth process of the person who went to bed and how to come out of the closet. Glenn used a tape recorder to let everyone talk about sex. Comparing the lack of belonging between the two, one can't help but imagine that perhaps these records, which are maintained with heart and do nothing, will eventually be in order to one day reach places that we have never been able to reach.
I appreciate honesty and honesty so much. Russell plucked up the courage, encouraged by his friends, and went to the train station to see off the man he had only known for two days. And Glenn also let go of the arrogant tone, shed tears sincerely, and gave the important tape recorder to the other party. What is your last name? It doesn't matter how you spell it.
A herbivorous man, a meat-eating man, who couldn't open the deep throbbing of the hustle and bustle in the short two-day weekend, but finally bravely blossomed into a selfless kiss on the open platform. Before the two unfree people go their separate ways, this brief meeting has a radiance that is definitely not inferior to other love stories.
