Prayers for Bobby

I haven't been touched by a movie for a long time, and I haven't left anything because of a movie for a long time. I found that I gradually became cold-blooded and gradually lost my tears. This is the price of being strong!
I can understand the feeling of not being understood very well, even being scolded, humiliated, and pointed at the bridge of the nose, but, depending on how to face it, if death can solve everything, even though it is very good, but death solves only one's own. This small part, and family, friends, those who still love themselves, for them, their own death is an irreparable pain! Therefore, in view of this, I have never given up and never lost the exploration of life. People are living themselves. As long as they insist on their own wishes, do not violate their conscience, and do what they are happy with, they will be worthy of it. In these decades or even hundreds of years of life, it is worthy of the magic of sperm-egg fusion, and the origin of life!
A bit incoherent, Bobby couldn't help but think of a sad past of his own, now back to the plot: There are three paragraphs in the play that moved me the most: the memories before Bobby's suicide, in these flashed memories, there is laughter, but every laughter Afterwards, they all turn around, and every change represents a kind of contradiction. At a certain moment, I expect Bobby's thinking to stop in the happy part, then he will regain hope, but history cannot repeat itself; The tense atmosphere between the family after the funeral, I began to be angry at Mary's incomprehension, and I wanted to yell at her, if it weren't for her, Bobby would not have died; Mary's speech during the debate, at that moment, I understood the loss of a mother. The child's pain and deep anguish, and it is even more pity for Bobby's death, if only it were good.
Aside from the plot, I want to talk about two other topics: faith and comradeship.
Faith seems to be relatively far away for Chinese people, and I dare not assert, at least for me. In my memory of faith, one is a booklet of my grandmother that I read when I was young. I don’t remember the name, but I do remember it. After I asked, the answer was that I did not worship, and the other was the baptism of my roommate during college. I also went to church with me. This is the only understanding of faith. Some people say: The reason why human beings can't progress is because of the lack of faith, I don't know, do I?
The topic of comradeship is even more common. Unlike people in the 1980s who are so exclusive in the play, in real life only elders still don’t understand enough, but among their peers, they can still judge with normal eyes. For me, Even when I was in high school, I knew the gay couples around me. I haven’t discussed in-depth issues, but we can still see their happy expressions, so there is naturally no rejection.
Unconsciously, after saying so many things in my heart, whether it is to Bobby or to myself, we should firmly believe that the haze will pass, and tomorrow will always be better!

Prayers for Bobby quotes

  • Psychiatrist: A lot of times, confusions like Bobby's can be caused by a distant father or an overbearing mother.

    Robert Griffith: Well, I had both and I am fine.

  • Rev. Michaels: When temptation is all around you, Faith, is not enough. It requires discipline, not just mental, but physical. Who would like to share their story?
