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".

    BE doesn't take away from how wonderful, real, sweet and slender this film is. The two spent the night talking, arguing, taking drugs, and having sex. Real life is so messy, mundane, without those stupid pretensions. A lot of people have had similar experiences, similar passions but eventually annihilated encounters

    Real is uncomfortable.

Weekend quotes

  • Glen: Do you ever think about finding your parents?

    Russell: No, not really.

    Glen: Why not?

    Russell: I don't really see the point. You know, I don't think it would change anything.

    Glen: Why don't I pretend to be your dad and you can come out to me?

    Russell: [laughs] That is SO weird.

    Glen: Just ignore the fact we just had sex.

    Russell: I don't think I can. Guess I'll try. Ok.

    [looks Glen in the eye]

    Russell: Dad? I got something I need to tell you.

    Glen: [pretending to be Russell's dad] What's that?

    Russell: I'm gay.

    Glen: [pretends to think] Hmm.

    Russell: I like guys, not girls.

    Glen: [breathes out slowly] Well. You know what, son. It doesn't matter to me. I love you just the same. And guess what?
