Let me sum it up first: I really don't understand what the director wants to express in this film. gay story? take care of the father? Learn to love? life of one person? A family memoir? ………………In short, I didn’t even know what I was going to say after watching it. The general feeling was that I had a bit of emotion, a bit of incomprehension, a bit of empathy, and a bit of sympathy. There are many points at

the beginning of the movie. Oliver’s father was mentioned. At the age of 75, he admitted that he is gay. I admire this very much. After admitting to being out of the closet at such a young age, my father found a boyfriend of his own in his life. As soon as the scene changed, Oliver's father had passed away, and Oliver took care of the pet dog left by his father. At a party, Oliver met an actress, the two fell in love, and then all kinds of sex. In the course of the relationship, every time Oliver can think of his father and the past. The two almost fell into the point of breaking up. She flew back to New York. Oliver felt that he couldn't just give up, so he also flew to New York to find her. She later admitted that she hadn't actually flown back to New York, and the two got back together.

If there is something that touches me the most in the whole film, it is when his father's boyfriend helped him take care of the puppy. Gay told him that he hoped to see him more, not to neglect him because he is gay. Get visits from others.

All in all, maybe I didn't understand the real meaning of this one. May need to watch many times.
