i think you're leaving

Maybe in the future, there will be such an encounter, we borrow each other's body odor, pant the ears, lick the side of the neck, mix the unknown and surprise, linger like saliva, bite the tip of the tongue, touch the skin, enjoy the meat biscuits and the black forest, juice and cream. The silence of dawn is the shadow of last night, like the coffee stains on the sheets, the cassettes in the tape recorder, or the jokes you left on my refrigerator door. I look at you, but I don't dare to look at you directly, so I keep my head down, like a child who has done something wrong. You are proud and natural, you have a beautiful nose, and you look straight at me, I seem to feel self-pity. The dreamlike pleasures of a few hours ago are kept here, and here, and contented, because the squares, the shades and the smells, keep me safe; you are like a fighter, like the gold of the sun outside the window, and I am just a body blue below. You recorded my voice, and the essence of carrying, so different? I love you, but I can't say it. Your name and body, I will remember them, like these pictures on the wall, even if I never see them again. After you left, I could only look out the window to see the traces of your slowly turning back, the green hills and the clouds in the distance. Then, you disappear into all these fictions, and there is no later waiting for me to wait for you, and no later understanding and pain. Days still have to go on, you are just an occasional excitement day and night, you exist in my kitchen, we linger intimately without kissing; you exist on this lazy sofa, we touch each other and frolic; you also Existing anywhere in this room, every kiss you wish would be a self-affirmation of how good it would be to die with you. So, I leaned against you and hugged you tightly; so, you cried because I thought you were leaving and I loved you, but we never said it.

    A very careful independent film, many small details are designed very interesting, and the lines are also catching, although the plot cannot be avoided. But it seems that the number of cameras is limited, so I was forced to use a lot of long lenses? Test the actors! All played well. To say it was the best gay movie after Brokeback Mountain is a bit too far.

    Watch it again with the subtitles~~Add one star~~It's no longer just love and love~~The theme of friendship and love is quite comprehensive~~Bend straight opposition or big love unity~~High-profile self-expression or low-key solo~~~~~

Weekend quotes

  • Glen: It's like when you've had the same friends for too long, they become like - Everything becomes cemented.

    Russell: What? And that's a bad thing, is it?

    Glen: Of course, it's a bad thing. I don't want to be in fucking concrete, thank you very much.

    Glen: It's like they won't let you, they won't let you be any version of yourself except an old version, or the version that they want you to be.

  • Glen: Look. Straight people like us as long as we conform, we behave by their little rules. Imagine your friends if you suddenly started getting all, but really, political about being a fag, or you got suddenly, like, camp and swishy or talked about rimming all the time.

    Russell: [interrupting] But that's not what I'm like, is it? That's not who I am.

    Glen: Well, just trust me: They like it as long as we don't shove it down their throats.

    Russell: Okay, well, why should I just shove it down their throats?

    Glen: Because they shove it down our throats all the time: Being straight. Straight story lines on television, everywhere - in books, on billboards, magazines, everywhere. But, ah, the gays, the gays -

    [gasps]

    Glen: "We mustn't upset the straights. Shh. Watch out. Straights are coming.

    [lisping]

    Glen: Let's not upset them. Let's hide in our little ghettoes. Let's not hold hands. Let's not kiss in the street, no."
