I hate you as much as I love you

do you hate your mother? Of course I hate it too. Who doesn't have a memory of arguing with their mother that turned upside down in their life, they are all crying and crying in such an incomplete relationship and loving the woman who gave birth to you. I've had "why my mom is her", "why am I not an orphan" thought a hundred times. Xavier Dolan expressed this idea in the form of video when he was 20 years old. He is the most handsome genius I have ever seen. "The men under his lens are ten times more three-dimensional than the women. 』 The film is not to show the real murder from beginning to end, in Hubert's thoughts, he killed the woman he loves countless times with his thoughts. The mother under his lens is not very beautiful. Except for the mother, it is difficult for you to like every female character under his lens. Probably in Xavier Dolan's eyes, women are far less rich and three-dimensional than men. But this is where his interests lie. If the balance is on one side, you will see that the men in his films have strong personalities. And what he shoots is slightly morbid, whether it is the hysteria of the mother or the hysteria of the son, and even the father who is rarely seen in the film is hysterical. Even though it was the teacher he fled to after several collapses, although she gave him a spiritual respite and continuation, she lived her life with a rift with her father. I don't think Dolan intentionally showed these pathologies, because those anger and paranoia, dissatisfaction and disgust, all came from the natural reaction of being exposed to the weird life for the first time. "yes i hated my mom" i believe Hubert is 80% Xavier Dolan, he is an artist and a born poet. The tone and composition in the story are not random at all, but they are all in place. A young boy made such a detailed film, so it surprised France as soon as it was released. The film's articulation is slightly flawed, but of course we can forgive the young and handsome talent. Too many people have seen Wong Kar-wai's shadow, because the handling of some details is too similar, but Dolan also photographed his own beauty and style. Dolan's self-directed and self-acting is also perfect. His slightly upturned brows and straight nose bridge, three-dimensional face and curly hairstyle, he is exquisite and perfect. It's too hard for someone to reject his appearance, which is so pleasing that people can't take their eyes off him. However, his heart still carries the delicate and fragility of a woman. He was 20 years old when he made this film, and the film is also from a completely 20-year-old perspective. It's not that deep and shocking, but it's real enough to let people see himself: If you can't learn to hate, then try to say hate, armor I haven't grown up yet and I want to protect myself, so I deliberately hurt my parents with vicious words. I know they will be heartbroken, but I can't tell the seriousness. The way to vent is actually childish and ridiculous, it's nothing more than talking nonsense at the tree hole. Or clearly written in a diary, it is almost harmless to humans and animals, but it insists on putting on a face of "I have grown up, whoever does not admit it will kill even the people I love the most". These, paranoid to the point of looking back many years later, will find it ridiculous behavior, but it is everyone who watched the movie. That's why I really like Hubert's recorded monologue for the camera in the film: "I know it's a sin for other people to hate my mom, but they're just hypocritical and they hate their mom, maybe for a second, maybe a year. I don't care if they remember it or not but
