CC included the film for good reason. Bear the brunt of the theme and content. According to the director's words, the focus of this narrative is how gays treat sex and love after coming out of the closet. It is to explore deeper content from a relatively novel perspective, which is higher in conception - not so much It's a gay movie, it's better to say it's a love movie of two men, and in the process, the two know themselves more clearly and explore their inner needs; it also reflects the current comrades in society from many aspects. The still weak situation in the big environment, while comprehensively shaping the characters, correspondingly raised questions for people to think about and their own opinions, which deepened the connotation of the film. Secondly, I have to say that this film has two gratifying features and advantages - the intimate life-like image atmosphere and the skillful and refined structure processing. There is no complicated mirror movement, simple and plain, full of the intimacy of daily life; according to the development of emotions, the camera angles are fixed in large scenes, third-person peeping, second-person bust, and long-term close-up of two faces. The smooth transition between stories, skillfully rendering different emotional atmospheres, expressing sincerity, not contrived; the rational role of various narrative techniques, concise and accurate detail settings, and the echoes and contrasts of several plots and shots, all of which are impressive , and without intention, everything is hidden in the seemingly random but in fact stable rhythm control, the water will come naturally, and it has very guiding value.

It's like I spent a weekend with you, I have Russell's character, and you have Glen's ideas. You and I talk to each other, laugh and laugh, watch and watch, roll and roll. Only in your own room is the most relaxing, don’t worry, don’t care, don’t pretend, that’s good, maybe one day I go out a little bit and dare to do things that I used to care too much and never did. I want to tell you that it was because of you, because of that weekend, because you left

Hey, the director is an innocent old gay.

Glen: It's like when you've had the same friends for too long, they become like - Everything becomes cemented.
Russell: What? And that's a bad thing, is it?
Glen: Of course, it's a bad thing. I don't want to be in fucking concrete, thank you very much.
Glen: It's like they won't let you, they won't let you be any version of yourself except an old version, or the version that they want you to be.

Glen: Look. Straight people like us as long as we conform, we behave by their little rules. Imagine your friends if you suddenly started getting all, but really, political about being a fag, or you got suddenly, like, camp and swishy or talked about rimming all the time.
Russell: [interrupting] But that's not what I'm like, is it? That's not who I am.
Glen: Well, just trust me: They like it as long as we don't shove it down their throats.
Russell: Okay, well, why should I just shove it down their throats?
Glen: Because they shove it down our throats all the time: Being straight. Straight story lines on television, everywhere - in books, on billboards, magazines, everywhere. But, ah, the gays, the gays -
[gasps]
Glen: "We mustn't upset the straights. Shh. Watch out. Straights are coming.
[lisping]
Glen: Let's not upset them. Let's hide in our little ghettoes. Let's not hold hands. Let's not kiss in the street, no."
