Don't panic, hold me tight

A film adapted from a true story in Melbourne is widely circulated in Turkey and Australia, and tears in the theaters in the latter part of the movie.

In fact, this is a story of life. It tells the story of two childhood sweethearts, from the sprouting of youth hormones to the sexual attempt, to face friends, family and society together, and then to their own love and life. After the joys and sorrows, they will be together until death. .

I, take you, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according to God's holy law, and this is my solemn vow.

Although this vow was never announced in the church, it is actually practiced and operated with you every day. The twists and turns in the middle and the different explorations, the pain and regret, the crying and laughing, the retrospect and the wind.

No matter if you are sick or healthy, poor or rich, rambunctious or ethical, there will always be someone around you who says: Don't panic, hold me tight. With a touch of a kiss, the calamity will be overcome, at least if you have tasted the taste of love, it is not a life in vain. The merits and demerits, right and wrong cause and effect that have been passed through for you are all my gains.



As a matter of fact, the acceptance of comrades in the world, especially in Western countries, has gone up a lot compared to the past. On weekdays in Melbourne/Sydney/London and other streets, the market sees gay CPs shopping and having fun with their hands clasped together, causing countless harm to single dogs. The greater acceptance also shows that their lives are more lifelike and demystified/rigid. Like the story of Tim and John told in the movie, it covers a wide range of topics, such as childhood sweetheart love, youth sex attempts, relationship with friends, family, conflict between different personalities in emotion, open relationship (open relationship) Discovery, HIV, Responsibility and more. Many of these rich elements are included in the life experience of each gay or straight couple, which is why it seems so real and moving. The way people get along, the situations or difficulties they face are all similar. Maybe gays will have more pressure from family and society on gay identity, but this is also reducing day by day. In the emotional world of the two, this may not only be resistance, but also It may be the driving force and fetters that bind the two together. Therefore, considering/thinking about movies with gay elements, real romance or life, it is best not to label this group and any individual or group with a rigid impression.

Some people think that Tim's middle section of going out to explore open relationships is a joke, ruining the beautiful and hard-won comradeship. But things are fickle, and who can predict if Tim forcibly resists this impulse and suppresses his impulse at the time, whether he can cherish his relationship with John and go on. For a young man with a personality like Tim, the exploration of an open relationship made him lose his health and indirectly hurt his lover, but at the same time, this outlet also made him a prodigal son later, and he understood the preciousness of true feelings and introspection. After repenting, and after releasing the restlessness after this exploration, he finally had the confidence to take responsibility for his lover.

Life is a continuous process of exploration. Wait until the scenery is seen through," maybe "you will accompany me to watch the water flow. This "maybe" is indeed something that cannot be forced. Do your best and obey destiny. It is lucky to wait for Tim to achieve love like John, but there are countless scumbags and men and women in life who will never come back. Maybe they found The mode or person that really suits your own personality, or you will sink into the wild since then. People are extremely stubborn, especially on the road of choice, and there can be no reluctance. What cannot be expressed, those who hold back will either explode in some form one day, or the haze will turn into a dark twist, and the heart will be unresolved for life. So no matter for yourself, your lover or others, when you have the sprouting of exploration experience, let yourself go, let Ta go, this process will confirm whether the people and roads in the future are the most suitable and the most desire in your heart. of.
