Because of Poke Ye, I wanted to watch this movie, and I was really addicted to Poke Ye's beauty and voice while watching the movie.
Very slow-paced movie, the story is not told completely in chronological order, but in the order that the male protagonist starts from joining the sexual orientation correction project love on action, escapes, and finally becomes an LGBT writer, interspersed with memories and interspersed. It's not blunt, the narrative of the whole story is complete and clear, and I really admire the screenwriter's ability to tell the story.
Not many spoilers, but I want to share my insights:
Western culture is really different from Eastern culture, especially when it comes to dealing with sins in life. Westerners believe that it is the correct way to expose the taint and then take action to correct it, so in the West there will be similar aa. , The group of sex addiction treatment, the treatment process seems to be humanized, but compared with the East, it is actually simple and rude. That's why, in the US, 700,000 people are mistreated by sexual orientation correction therapy, and in China, you will hear about summer camps for Internet addiction, but you have not heard of similar sexual orientations Therapeutic summer camp.
In fact, I have been thinking about why the homosexual movement in China is more like an undercurrent, it is surging and surging, but it is also deeply hidden. Come to think of it, the reason may actually be that we lack a conflict.
As far as I know the stories of oriental homosexuality, our attitudes have been the same from the time of Longyang to the present. Some people will say that they are tolerant, and some people will say that they are turning a blind eye. We don't have Western Christianity that tells us that homosexuality is wrong; no political persecution, such as in England in 1950, saying that homosexuality is illegal; we don't have any famous person, such as the great mathematician Alan Turing, because of homosexuality And suicide.
We are missing these conflicts. All along, the attitude of our public has been moderate, gentle, and even transparent. Behind this non-conflict is less sacrifice, but it also brings us insatiable progress and open troubles. What we resist is the inertia that has been passed down for a hundred years. It does not have a big outbreak, but it seems to keep accumulating pressure.
The movie made me feel culturally different, but it also made me aware of family similarities. The film mainly describes the family of the male protagonist Jared. A mother's love for her son can trump her faith. The father also loves the mother deeply, and gradually accepts the child's family under the influence. It can be said that the mother's love maintains the family. In fact, viewers with similar experiences may be lamenting the hero's courage, in a family whose father is a pastor, frankly about being gay. But I think this is not a kind of courage, but more like a kind of confidence, a kind of confidence that is cared for by mother's love, telling you that no matter what the situation, you will not lose this unconditional love. However, many people come out of the closet and become tragic, which seems to be a misjudgment of this confidence; many people hide in the closet, but actually lack this confidence. After all, we all say that maternal love is the same, but it is not the case.
Of course, in addition to this family, another family is also thought-provoking. Cameron's family, a father who loves his faith more than his children, and has absolute authority at home to influence the whole family, and finally staged the family to use books to beat the unsuspecting. child scene.
In the end, that instructor, sure enough, was gay, so he was at a loss for words when his mother loudly questioned his qualifications and asked if he was a doctor or a psychologist. In fact, if he shouted loudly that he used to be gay, but now he is not, it may mean that he is still deeply involved in the drama, and his silence also confirms that he is not sure that he has changed, and he is still adding drama to himself. That's it. And Cameron's death also brought his drama to an end.
Yes, in life, sometimes it depends on acting skills, but when you forcibly play an unsuitable role, probably no matter how excellent your acting skills are, you will not be able to escape the scrutiny of the audience in your life.
