Incisively and vividly portrayed, and directly teach people to be moved to tears

The feeling of love at first sight is always the same, for straight or gay people.

The story of this British low-budget film took place in just two days over the weekend, but the feelings between the two protagonists were vividly portrayed, and they were moved to tears. In my opinion, this is the best gay movie since Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain.

The director is very good at capturing the most sensual and romantic moments in the most ordinary life scenes, using the simplest and most straightforward dialogue to advance and structure the plot, a bit like Richard Linklater's "Love Before Sunrise/Setting". The most touching things are all condensed in the inconspicuous details: eyes, smiles, hugs, recorders... The most impressive thing is the two people riding bicycles and the end of the farewell at the station.

Photography and art both follow the laws of simplicity and nature, and are combined with the unpretentious dialogue of life-like scenes, creating a touch of sadness.

Weekend short comments

    Some people say it's like a cup of coffee, I think it's like good weather, it's comfortable when you come, and when you want to stay here for a while, it's leaving.

    From the balcony on the 14th floor, I looked at the background of your passing away, and sent you away from the platform. In fact, I didn't want you to leave. Although I will not say the words that I want you to stay, even though we have so much difference in concept, even though we have only known each other for two days, I will send you away, but I actually don't want you to leave. But in fact, what I'm more afraid of is that if you don't leave, we will even wipe out these two days.

Weekend quotes

  • 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."
