suffered from family problems, an artistic youth who broke up soon after they all said that all adolescent men can become GAY . Indeed , a love on a surfboard. That summer was not a quiet summer. That summer, you all grew up... ====== =============================== It seems that since "Brokeback Mountain", Hollywood has been completely obsessed with gay themes, such as pure The spoof "Another Gay Movie" and two "Eating out" that are almost unwatchable, and the documentary-like "Boy Culture", but none of them can reach the height of "Brokeback Mountain". Although this "Shelter" is also inferior to "Brokeback Mountain", its simple plot, warm pictures, beautiful music, and final happy ending add a lot to this gay life sketch. Look sex. It can be said that the film is the only film with a certain level of American gay theme since "Brokeback Mountain". "Brokeback Mountain" was the first gay movie I saw, eight years ago at this time, on a gloomy autumn day. I, who just came to know the word homosexuality, learned about this gay movie, which can be said to be famous at the time, from "Watching the Movie"! However, at that time, I was so timid that I felt that the topic was too heavy, but I didn't dare to read it. I have been waiting for more than half a year before I saw the VCD double-disc set of "Brokeback Mountain" in the disc store! ! A burst of excitement in my heart. Of course, I didn't dare to borrow it and watch it at home. I waited until the weekend to find an excuse to sneak out. Found a family that happened to have "Brokeback Mountain". However, he was embarrassed to speak, and while he was looking for a disc, he waited for a few people around him to leave. I finally waited until I was alone and quickly told the boss to watch this, my heart was beating so fast! !
Compared with the popular "Love of Siam" before, shelter not only sang gay's mental journey like popular gay films, but also added a lot of non-g-caused mental journey. Confusion in the face of love, confusion in the face of family, confusion in the face of life and confusion in the face of ideals. Although the technique is not high, it is very clear. Although there is no master's "mirror" technique that mirrors each other, the layer-by-layer organizational structure of the basic main clue is clear and clear, what should be cut more and what should be cut less. , very clear. It can only be said that hollywood's skillful technique, the Thai people should learn something.
Having said so much, and then back to the movie Shelter, "Want to Cover the Tide" is just an interesting gimmick. In fact, what it really wants to express is the word Shelter.
The film conveys a warm theme throughout, at least I think so. Whether it is Zach and Shaun's lover finally getting married, or the understanding of Zach's friends and childhood sweetheart's ex-girlfriend, and his sister's final compromise, they all convey the film's inclusiveness of same-sex love. However, I think the most touching scene in the whole movie is the scene where Zach, Shaun and Zach's little nephew Cody play at the beach at the end of the movie. It is love that brings these three unrelated people together to form a new family, which is rarely seen in real life.
It's not easy to see comedy in gay movies. Often, you die or you leave me, and you exaggerate the sadness of gay people hundreds of times to the reality to set off the greatness of love. Indeed, being able to make a real gay pop comedy is actually a very difficult thing, and it's a bit close to the difficulty of getting everyone to applaud after a Chinese comrade comes out of the closet. Shelter has beautiful California beaches and sunshine, healthy and energetic surfing and parties, and the environment is not gay; Zac has a dilapidated family environment, a "fallen" sister and lovely nephew, and beautiful love , the ideal of happiness, these are not only gay circles. There are many complicated environments, complicated confusions, just like the environment around you and me, but there is a comedic simple result, as simple as the result we expect when many of us are confused.
When Zach walks on land, he is on a skateboard, and when he rides on the waves, he is on a surfboard. These are all physical tasks that require a balance of skill, and Zach plays very smoothly. However, a life that also needs balance seems to have many disappointments. Zach's dreams and reality are always in conflict, and he, who doesn't resist too much reality, is so melancholy in the ups and downs.
That Shaun with a firm mind gradually gave Zach the smile that youth should have. I don't know when, we can all feel that kind of love, and that tentative kiss makes people daydream, but it ends so badly feel happy. There is no passion, no romantic dialogue, the embarrassment after the kiss, and the slight coldness after waking up in the morning, but it makes my heart move more than two people hugging each other when they wake up.
The passion that should come is still coming, but the sudden burst of accumulated strength, the dizzying camera, the rapid drumbeat, every kiss on the skin, the warmth oozing out of every picture, and I don't feel cold in the cold night. I like Zach's dodging eyes in the early morning, the unconfident expression always appears on the faces of those who love deeply, the beautiful face, the shyness when hearing the praise, and the only confession in that drama, He was so shy, but he couldn't help but smile.
Beautiful love is not only beautiful at the brightest of times, but introspection at those low ebbs will make the beauty last longer. Life won't give up teasing good people so easily. Zach complained in the car and said separate words in tears. Everything seemed to be at its lowest point. Many times, after venting, so much regret comes up. The pressure of life, the lack of self-approval, and the lack of support from family members are ultimately no match for the power of dreams.
Personally, my favorite is the various graffiti in the movie. I always feel that graffiti is a sign of youth and a catharsis of emotions. Many thoughts and emotions can be performed through various graffiti. Although it is called "graffiti", although it is not an elegant work of art, its completion absolutely requires technology and dedication. Especially the large graffiti created by Zach in the film covering the side wall of the whole building is really magnificent. It was eventually removed by the goddamn painters in the movie, it's a pity to watch
A simple start, a simple acoustic guitar, zac freely shuttles in the urban forest of CA under the blue sky, it is so simple, complicated confusion, simple result, keep it simple, even if there is a complex psychological struggle, find what you really want Yes, take courage and meet the thrilling.
Thank you for having such a movie, dreaming of beauty, and giving us the strength to believe that those sunny beaches are waiting for us ahead.
In any case, there are good things to look forward to, it is better than a hangover all day long.
Young is always beautiful, so we always miss those sunny days. Although we can never end up having fun on the beach like Zach, he didn't step on a surfboard, but found a more enjoyable game on the beach. This kind of picture is our dream. I really feel the beauty of the dream, although being anesthetized in it will only make myself more degenerate into reality.
When Zach broke up with Shaun because he couldn't face this feeling, S's words can be said to make Z alert to his escape and let us bystanders have the last feeling: You never get what you want unless you take it . There are many different elements in this slightly simple sentence.
A loving hug after hesitation and escape. It is cheerful, with a youthful lightness that does not fear. All the bitterness is not a drag in the young body. Even if youth is always too impulsive...
