some perception

When I watched this film in film class, because the teacher said it was very similar to American Pie, I only saw it as a popcorn movie, but at the end, the heaviness in my heart was something that popcorn movies could not bring. .
- The beginning of the film directly shows the two boys' thirst for desire, and the responsibilities that adults need to assume invade the boys' world from time to time, but they don't want to accept these responsibilities, such as techno's attendance at the party. What they prefer is to be paralyzed in tobacco, happy in desire, simple and pure. The encounter with maria can be said to provide an opportunity for teenagers whose girlfriends are not living too monotonous and desires nowhere to express, an opportunity to peep into the world of adults, although they are eager to prove that they have stepped in, but they escape the additional responsibility. burdened world.
- At the same time, as in the previous long review, what attracted me to this movie was his narration, which was plain and straightforward. Let the audience realize when they are too immersed, and can watch this youth escape as an outsider.
- The scene that caught my attention the most was the last chat between the three of them. With the help of the wine, techno and julio will tell the truth about each other. The harmonious atmosphere made me think that the friendship will last forever, but it didn't. Think, from strangers. The most comfortable communication is not knowing the bottom line, and the most intimate friends cannot share all secrets. Sometimes, the world is so cruel. Although we all hate masks and are willing to speak out, you can only choose appropriate lies. , appropriate silence.
When the teens leave Heaven Mouth, their friendship is over, and the only connection left is the memories they shared at the beach. But that memory is not a good memory. After they go back, how can they continue to be friends with the other party who betrayed them and made their girlfriends. They left their youthful carelessness, desire and betrayal, and the truest friendship on that beach. When they come back, they have grown.
- Regarding maria, I can only say that this woman gave me the idea that I must live a meaningful life. She was the guide for techno and julio into the adult world and, indirectly, their breakup.
- Expressions of desire. Although it is a bit uncomfortable to use such a blatant way, this kind of naked face-to-face may be a way of interpretation by the director. In my opinion, this movie has depth and cannot be regarded as a pornographic movie.
