Warm, true, without exaggerating anything, it is a slow narrative. At that time, I always felt that the actors were old-fashioned, but it must be said that the acting skills must be good in order to interpret that kind of unusual warmth.
A few memorable scenes are the opening scenes where
Tim ran to the phone to ask John where he was because he felt he couldn't remember losing it;
Tim said to his mother after learning that he was infected with John: "I feel like I killed the man I love with my own hands. ”;
some detailed scenes of John’s dad walking through the aisle of the AIDS ward, then leaning against the wall under stress and panic;
the scene of John with the oxygen tube and Tim make love, a silent sigh, especially at this time The background music is apt;
the two scenes of John and Tim opening presents, Tim's little irritability, and John's heavy and painful breathing as he dies, burst into tears.
These scenes are quite memorable, and what I remember most is the good acting of the male protagonist when he was dying at the end, a kind of deep panic that can't even be remembered.
Even though a lot of it is a clichéd script, the film is relatively tight.
