- "The Kingdom of God" 8.5

A cliché story changed by love. Just like an inspirational fairy tale, a stern father, a runaway mother, and the original unruly male protagonist turned his prodigal son back when he met true love, and finally everyone lived a happy and happy life together. The movie just replaces the female lead with another male lead, without any violations. This may be one of the meanings of this film. The love between two people is the most natural and purest thing.

Why such a routine movie still impresses me. There are detailed descriptions, the joy of rhythm grasping, and the pleasing picture setting. Also, such "routines" that have been handed down are people's most genuine yearning and feeling for a better life. Suffering, frustration, and disappointment cannot resist the power of love

Love makes us whole, and there really is growth in love. The hard heart gradually melts, the emotions hidden in the heart begin to reveal, and when others feel your kindness, the world changes accordingly

Everything in the film is extremely natural, from the hilly scenery of England to the emotional development of the two male protagonists. I don't know how long it takes to go from fear to acceptance, or from crime to legality, human nature cannot always be eliminated. Accept everything that happens naturally, acceptance is also a development

    Oh my, I know it's going to be sweet, but I still get smeared on my face! ! ! Now that the United Kingdom has left the European Union, it means that the sweet and handsome little brothers who were supposed to be assigned to the United Kingdom will all come to our Western Europe hihihi. The immigration policy should later be changed to: only highly skilled and LGBT can apply.

    The photography is great (photographer Joshua James Richards has Zhao Ting in two of the three works). The tone of the film is a bit like Andrew Hagrid, but also very realistic (sheepfold realism...) and social issues (broken families, small farms vs. big farms, immigration). The story is smoother ("That boy taught me to grow"), and emotions are the dominant factor.

God's Own Country quotes

  • Gheorghe Ionescu: In my country, spring is the most beautiful. The sun. The flowers. The smells.

  • Gheorghe Ionescu: My country is dead. You can't throw a rock in most towns without hitting an old lady crying for her children who have gone.
