The word "love" is on the lips

I watched this movie three times. The characters' faces, names, and characteristics are not remembered until the third pass. I think the director was deliberately vague.
The director also directed another drama, HBO's Looking. That play made me fall in love with San Francisco.
In fact, emotional matters are very small and subtle. The nuances of the lines make people watch it many, many times.
Blank in the movie. Unusual Britain. Never ambiguous shades. Love is like vodka diluted in a cocktail. Refused to say the word love. Ambiguity makes people feel wronged.
The most memorable scene is the farewell on the platform. glen said to russell, i couldn't remember your surname. Then I stuffed him with a cassette tape of the chat after the first day.
Saying the word love before saying goodbye, and keeping the words of Glenn, will the movie make people feel that although it is cliché, it is also comfortable?
However, it is precisely the unspoken word "love" that makes people remember this movie all the time. This murmured dialogue, a blurry look.
In the final theme song, the lyrics seem to be just a display of nouns. Every sentence in my heart is "I miss you" "I miss you".

    Hagrid is really delicate, a first-class master of dialogue writing. Such a limited scene really relies on dialogue. Sound processing is more characteristic. This film even stepped on the database and art projects, which is really a stroke of genius.

    Or the same sentence: good men have boyfriends!

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 -

    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."
