From Justin's point of view, this is a story of an ignorant teenager who met his real son because of luck and tried his best to make this male god fall in love with him.
From Brian's point of view, it's a story of a man who didn't dare to love and finally opened his heart to an adult because of a boy's love and weakness.
From Micheal's point of view, it's a man who was determined to stick to his horse and finally let go, and found the story of his heartbeat and heartbeat in the vast crowd.
And if you only see the love story of the three of them, then the whole qaf is equivalent to you watching it for nothing, which is why I prefer the American version. Not only because of the high appearance of the American version and the height of Brian's gods, but also because of its grander story and more brilliant supporting characters, the American version of qaf is not just a love story.
Ted and emm's friendship and love, their dedication and forbearance.
Micheal and Ben, the choice between positive and love, Micheal went on blind dates everywhere, but still did not escape Ben.
Hunter and two daddy, the child was too hard to love, and was melted by the two daddy.
Debbie and his younger brother, the two always quarreled but couldn't be separated. In the end, the younger brother left, and Debbie began to redeem and regret.
The story of Debbie and Micheal's biological father, with some helplessness and some regrets, in the end, only a light smile is left.
Justin's mother, Micheal's mother, what two moms do, being the best friend to the kid, remember Debbie saying don't ask him if he is, tell him i know.
Also Mel and Linz's marriage, two mothers, custody, gus enrollment.
There are also unavoidable AIDS and discrimination
, as well as people's helplessness in choosing people, people's insistence on people's principles, the ups and downs of life
...
Let's talk about Brian & Justin & Micheal first
There are many fans of Brian & Micheal
who say to watch the childhood sweethearts, but the object of that teenage throbbing is not necessarily the right person. Yes, I was talking about Micheal and Brian.
Their relationship is not just friendship, but it is not love, but also has a little family affection.
Brian was born in a family where his father did not love his mother and did not love his sister. His parents were discordant, which made him not believe in love.
But he is a walking hormone who loves flowers and looks amazing. How can he not have sex, so he only has sex and no love, only sexual desire but no lust. He fucked all over Pittsburgh without having sex with the best bro.
Why?
According to Brian's character, he should have no love for meat, but he stopped because he knew that Micheal loved him. Micheal has silently loved Brian since he met him. If Micheal was as brave and persistent as Justin, the story might not be where it is now. Of course, Micheal still lacks two of the most important qualities that Justin attracted to Brian, which are self and assertiveness. (Of course, this is a later story, and I will analyze it later)
Brian's general attack has neither the nourishment of family affection nor the moisturization of love, so he values friends more and looks for sustenance in advertising. What would he do if he didn't have the bamboo horse Micheal? If he really got on Micheal, Micheal would definitely think it was a beginning but he couldn't make a promise to him. Micheal was so weak, he would definitely obey and then he would be silently sad. , then only Brian will be left with guilt and guilt. So he didn't even want to do it with Micheal, because Micheal loved him, but he couldn't hurt him, he couldn't lose this friend, and he didn't want to reveal his attitude. He valued Micheal too much. (Brian and Ted did it, it only means that Brian knows that Ted doesn't love him, so don't worry about doing it hahaha).
Brian & Justin
It's really like Faye Wong's song "Just because I saw you more in the crowd", and love came quietly.
At first, it was just Justin's love.
Anyone who falls in love with a man who doesn't believe in love will have no choice but to die.
So how did Justin catch up with the male god?
1. Justin's persistence. If Justin wasn't Justin, if he were ten years older, he wouldn't be chasing Brian. Someone must have chased Brian, of course, there must be a lot of people chasing after the male god. But everyone in the circle knows Brian's romance, and they have the heart but don't have the guts. Little Justin, because of his beautiful fantasies about love, Brian's manly demeanor and his own simple worldview, made himself rush to Brian again and again, and he didn't care whether he was a moth to the flames.
2. Justin's courage. Justin made Brian seem to see himself when he was young, but he didn't dare to come out of the closet, until the beginning of the whole qaf story, Brian's family didn't know that his son was gay.
And little Justin bravely said "i love dick" when his mother took him to see a psychiatrist.
This is the courage that Brian doesn't have.
People always like a person who has the advantages that they don't have, don't they? This is the eternal principle.
The above two points are just the premise of pursuing Brian.
Of course, chasing male gods requires a smart mind and ego. Don't give up being yourself because of male gods, this is Justin's rule.
This is where Justin attracted Brian. Teenagers are mature in their twenties. They know what they want and dare to think and do. He dared to run away from home and wisely took Brian's bank card knowing he would come for him. He dared to give up Brian and asked Brian to examine himself time and time again, whether he loved Justin or not, so Brian really found time and time again that he loved Justin more than he thought, and Justin finally went one step further, capturing his heart step by step. First, you can't exchange numbers with others, no kiss, and then you are really the only one in your heart.
It's not just little Justin's scheming and cleverness, but also his unique charisma. He has his own principles. If his little cleverness doesn't get Brian's love for him in the end, Brian didn't fall into his pit, and he doesn't either. No regrets.
He's going to dance on the dance floor to steal someone who's dancing with Brian, he's letting him know he's attractive too, he's seducing Brian's 419 partner and he says "see me in his dream" intentionally or unintentionally, you see, I can be just like you . He dared to be the king of Babylon, he said to let the old man know his heart. He's going to be a gogoboy because he's independent and doesn't want Brian's benefits for nothing. He's going to boycott that homophobic who's running for mayor even if Brian works for him, Brian and Justin have always been you have your life, I have my attitude, I won't change for you, but I love you.
You are Brian, can you not love him? What's more, he's smart, blond, blue-eyed, and has a nice waist. You finally raised him to be the best gay in the world, an assertive Justin who knows what he wants in this chaotic world with a little shadow of you.
You are one kind of people, just as smart and as selfish. So from the very first moment you saw him, it was doomed that Justin wasn't a passer-by. He is a returnee.
Ps:
The most disliked part of the show is the pink boy in season 4, not just because of Justin's hair==
But I still haven't understood how Justin is so smart and so extreme. Even though the screenwriter wanted to show that it was for Justin's self-salvation and healing, he threatened Hobbs with a gun and finally spared the man who made his nerves damaged and couldn't draw with a pen. Man, he forgave him and left with his back to the pink boy, and "7 minutes" sounded at the end of the credits.
But so what, no matter what Justin went through, he was growing up, and eventually he would come back to him obediently and be a good boy to his uncle.
pps:
Some people say the drama is cruel. I admit to being abusive, but it's still romantic. There is no analysis of those dark social angles in the play, all the darkness is just a point, and the rest is full of love, friendship and family affection. At the end of the story, Justin went to newyork, it doesn't mean they are separated, just not getting married, not getting married doesn't mean not loving. Love is better than love, and isn't it gratifying when you find out that someone has lived in Brian's heart for a long time?
Ppps: I will write about the other supporting characters in the story when I have time.
