I want you back again, please…John

As a senior viewer who has read countless (base) films, there are two types of base films that I have never felt personally. One is those who keep denouncing religious hats, and the other is that they always equate or equate AIDS with AIDS. of.

In fact, this movie was released in high-definition bilingual subtitles when it was freshly released. It seemed that it was recommended at the time, but after I roughly knew what it was about, it kept accumulating dust in the hard disk, and I never got much interest. When I was cleaning up my files recently, I found that I had worked so hard to watch a lot of movies. Just like completing a task, I began to stipulate that I should watch one movie a day - at least half of it, at least I should be worthy of those who can watch it for free. The days of using some downloaded software...

how should I put it, this film does not have much new ideas in shooting techniques and storylines, or what is eye-catching, a natural base friend fell in love with a handsome guy and successfully made him Breaking the bend, the two have developed from the initial sweet and sweet to a certain period of burnout. There is no clip of the male second, that is, John eating wild food, but from the dialogue where the two just learned that they are positive Guess a thing or two - if John hadn't eaten wild food, he wouldn't have thought he passed it on to Tim right away. Of course, even if there are no such explicit dialogues, you can think of it with your knees. Finding a friend who has never eaten wild food in his life is much more difficult than winning the lottery, so 10,000 words are omitted here...

But when Tim takes a long-distance relationship as the Ming went through a period of only talking about sex every night, but before going on stage again, just like when he first appeared on the stage, he peeped out from the curtain, hoping to see that familiar face, but he once again Disappointed, but the plot soon turned around again - when he stood on the stage and was about to say the most important line, he saw John smiling at him in the audience, so he said the line on the spot as "I want you back again, please...John", this is undoubtedly the climax of the whole play.

In fact, the two have never said that they broke up, but it is an indisputable fact that the relationship between the two of them is at risk due to the long-distance relationship and the fading away during the burnout period. Some things do not need words to express. Changes, especially changes in your attitude towards yourself, can be discovered within minutes, right? So in this relationship, John first chose to compromise and make concessions. He took the initiative to watch Tim's performance and planned to stay in Sydney for development. And Tim also understood the importance of John to him in the flash of light and flint in the collision of his eyes at that moment, so he had this affectionate confession. This seemingly simple sentence is both an apology and a promise.

Afterwards, the scene where John fell ill and struggled with the disease was so realistic that it made people shudder. Personally, I think this period of anti-disease history is too long, and it accounts for a large proportion in the film (full 1/3 ⊙﹏⊙‖°), but maybe this is the part that the director and the author himself want to express the most, and also It is this episode of true love in adversity that makes the audience understand that no matter how much disloyalty the two have acted in the past, there is indeed true love between the two, the kind that transcends life and death.

When John was dying, Tim left John's enlightened mother and climbed into John's hospital bed. This sentence flashed through my mind. If life is just like the first time, what will happen in autumn? Sad fan.

There is also the pilgrimage in Italy, which is full of emotions, because I am also the kind of paranoid who will go to certain places to find the footprints of the people I like╮(~﹏~) ╭If

the psychological state of the parties at that time is basically restored in the movie, then I still think this is a love that is infinitely close to perfection. Because even though the ending seemed so miserable to outsiders, no one complained, no one blamed each other, and no one even seriously discussed who was dragging whom. I think this kind of affection and trust is absolutely unmatched even among ordinary straight couples. It's rare, otherwise, why would there be such a cautionary tale as "husbands and wives are birds of the same age, and when disaster strikes, they fly separately".

There is a saying, I don't know why people always like to compare this film with "Brokeback Mountain", in fact, I don't even understand why "Brokenback" is a classic? Is it because the director's B is high? Or is it because "Broken" is the first base film that many people watch, and it has a chick complex? I really seriously doubt that many of the high scorers have only seen the base film "Brokeback Mountain" in their lives. Don't say that "Break" can't get in the top 20 of the base films I've seen, and it's definitely a complete failure compared to this one... The two male protagonists of "Break" are warming each other completely because of loneliness , there is no essential difference from those so-called "prison anecdotes", and then it is obvious that he has already bent and wants to get married. After getting married, he will come out and fool around, harming others and himself. How can I be so moved, I really can't understand ...and the strange behavior of a certain type of people who explain the incomprehensible plot as a high-end artistic expression - I really want to yell, your mother called you to go home for dinner... In the

end, I still have to make a deep rant about those Homophobic patients who have zero tolerance for engaging in AIDS on the grounds that they are easy to spread AIDS, should I kill all dogs in the world just because someone got rabies after being bitten by a dog? I wonder if there is a fool who has done something wicked and should bury all the fools in the world alive? Forgive me, this kind of god-like logic, this scholar can't keep up with the rhythm ╮(~▽~)╭
