In June 2013, Chambers, the chairman of "Exodus", the largest anti-gay group in the United States, publicly admitted that he was gay. Orientation, it is a part of my life and will accompany me for the rest of my life. My wife and family have accepted my changes... I did not stand up and blame them for their mistakes when someone abused you, but chose to stand with them We apologize together." On June 26, 2015, the United States became the 21st country in the world to recognize same-sex marriage nationwide.
These seemingly inspiring actions made us delusional for a while. It seems that the word "homosexual" has softened inexplicably, and the current film and television genre has gradually favored this group. Everything indicates that we are no longer No more homophobia, we can treat them or them equally.
Is this really true? Director Andrew Haigh used a current version of "Brokeback Mountain" to tell you that it's just that we think of ourselves as too saintly.
The original name of "Weekend Time" was "Weekend", and some people interpret the name very cleverly: week-end. Indeed, this is a story that it only took one weekend from the time of meeting and falling in love to breaking up. Russell and Glenn met at a Gay Bar. At first, it was just a simple one-night stand. It was expected that the two had a good conversation the next day, but Glenn was helpless. Going to the United States soon, this 48-hour love just ended without a hitch.
The protagonist in the movie is not the "little fresh meat" in the current film and television dramas. Tom Cullen grew a beard and became a shy and gentle orphan. He carefully concealed his sexuality and was at a loss when he suddenly encountered true love; Chris Niu became an artist and preached the theory of homosexuality to straight men. Many scenes focused on the communication between the two in the room. Green felt that the friends around him were hiding his brushes, and he wanted to change the environment "heavy". "Draw yourself", he used a tape recorder to record the conversations of everyone who made love with him, and he became a "work of art", and Russell also has a similar habit. We always think that love is incredible, but in fact it is There are always coincidences.
Russell and Glenn are the most typical two types of people in the gay community. The slave pretends to be a "normal person" and I don't care. I'm a "dead gay", but Glenn may be more extreme. He and I don't care. Straight man argues, he wants to be a leader, he feels depressed, and because of the betrayal of his former lover, he can no longer accept a stable relationship, which is exactly what Russell wants, he keeps his own way, he likes stability , he wants a stable love, and when he is convinced that Glenn is the one he wants, only to be told that the relationship will end after this day, can we say it is "timing"'s fault? In fact, it's not just them, how many couples in the world really love each other? It just so happened that you met at a suitable time, mated, and completed the task of human survival.
Russell wants Glenn to admit that he can't be alone forever, but Glenn is obviously too extreme, they are so suitable for each other, they both know what each other wants most, but the cruel thing is that Russell wants the stability, The freedom that Lun wanted was something that the other party could not offer.
The details of the film are very touching and delicate. When Glenn told Russell that he was going to the United States soon, Russell's face could not hide the disappointment, but he still took out the new shoes he was reluctant to wear and went to Glenn's party. Glenn He walked downstairs of Russell's house three times in total, the first time he didn't look back, because it was just a one-night stand, and the second time he looked back, it was because of love. If "Brokeback Mountain" is better than the tragic bond between life and death, then "Brokeback Mountain" "Weekend Time" reflects the current living conditions of the gay community.
In the end, Russell went to the train station to chase after Glenn. When we smiled knowingly and thought that this was another cliché but comforting happy ending, the director arranged for the two to break up. Glenn cried, he knew it himself He fell in love with Russell, but he chose to leave, and Russell knew that they were in love, but they were not suitable. The two finally kissed at the station, kissed in the eyes of many whistles and straight men, in fact, they have changed a lot because of each other, Glenn will love, Russell is brave.
The director did not forget to tell us that homosexuality is not as beautiful as we imagined. When we kiss at the station, there will still be ridicule and ridicule around, and there will still be abuse from children downstairs in Russell. Life is not a fairy tale, and love does not conquer everything. arms.
At the end of the film, Russell took out the tape that Glenn left him, which was the conversation after their first favorite, "Just start from the beginning when you saw me", which is the last sentence of the film. From the first time you saw me, Russell leaned against the window sill, thinking about their first meeting, and it felt like the love story started all over again.
