In the film, in order to highlight the changes and changes of Bobby's mother later, in fact, after Bobby himself realized that he was gay, he felt very happy when he admitted and accepted this circle. This is a pity that makes me feel that the front frame is a little dull and thin.
The focus of the film is on how Christianity (the original words in the Bible) is against homosexuality and how a mother who lost her gay son realized the mistake, regretted it, and ended up helping gays and lesbians.
The film itself is concerned with how people outside this circle perceive and change the perception of homosexuality, and the film has done a good job of this. But I don't think the film has any explanation for the homosexuals themselves, perhaps because in 2009, there were not so many official organizations in the world who came forward to explain that homosexuality is not a disease, so the film did not have much in BOBBY's own life. many descriptions.
I really want to say that all discrimination and disgust comes from incomprehension and stubborn habitual thinking. And in this world, a few people will never have the right to speak, and homosexuals have been like a cancer in society for many years. A moral corrupter, a serious sinner to God, a disease. Although everyone is now advocating a kind of equality about sexual orientation, in China, most people are still just playing the ticket mentality, "I can accept that there are homosexuals around me, as long as it has nothing to do with me." Has been firmly in control of the values of many people.
Therefore, in fact, more homosexuals will only hide, escape, yield, and endure. Many people have also begun to accept their fate and stop fighting for anything, because fighting means exposure, and exposure means you will lose more. This kind of torture will never really go away. A society cannot easily accept that a phenomenon that breaks the existing ethical framework is active in sight. This is not to say, I prove that this is not a problem that can be solved by disease.
The United States is different from China. China is a country where soft violence prevails. Minorities and vulnerable groups lack effective means to defend their rights, and the Chinese legal system will not support the interests of such a minority, even if it is considered by the West. human rights.
At the end of the film, there is a grand gay parade, and in China, only Hong Kong and Taiwan can hold such an event.
But as long as you can see progress, it's something to be happy about.
Basically, all comrades know about blued software and Danlan. This year, Geng Le has indeed given Chinese comrades a better living environment. cultural differences. (I don’t want to promote anything because it can really reflect some problems.)
The headlines given by the Western media are all bluntly saying that China has built the world’s largest gay social software, while the Chinese media all say that China’s largest gay-friendly AIDS How about testing nonprofits. Chinese state media has never really paid attention to the living conditions of such a group of people. They just feel that such a group of people is a high-risk group of AIDS. Once AIDS is involved, the government and the media can no longer ignore it.
Therefore, the gay community has always existed in such an identity (because it is related to AIDS) in China, and coupled with the influence of Chinese family values, I would like to say that the gay community has always been a flawed spot in social morality.
I hope the future is even brighter, but until then, it seems like only getting more affirmation in other areas can put a supposedly egalitarian mindset back where it should be.
