A good movie that is suitable for a person to enjoy quietly in the afternoon on a rainy day.

The whole film is humorous and interspersed with sadness and warmth, as well as a little joking. Because I have seen the ordinary heart before, I seem to find some similar shadows, and I admire the dedicated character of the actors, especially Peacock feels distressed for the character's crazy diet and thinness. Back to the topic, it is true that the director's grasp of the interspersed description of time is not enough, which makes people a little confused. Many people will complain about this long and tragic rendering, but I can understand the director's good intentions better, because the same-sex topic was heavy in the era of HIV panic at that time (now the social acceptance is high, and more and more same-sex films are released. They all choose a small and fresh style, like loving you Simon). I also admired John's actor's handling of the role very much. At first, he thought that the uncle came to play the little fresh meat director because he was too lazy to find a small actor or something. Maybe after watching the album of real characters at the end of the film, you suddenly realized that no matter from hairstyle, The costumes and so on are all the director's efforts. The scene that made my nose sour was Tim cutting John's hair after chemotherapy. The two people's foreheads were close to each other. They didn't need to say too much. Just their movements and even their eyes were full of love. John is a standard profile beauty, but I suddenly saw the puppy eyes of Jared Leto's Hephaistion when he gave the ring on the night of Alexander the Great's wedding, and even imagined if he played John would be more suitable? The most romantic thing in the world is to have two children without guessing and love each other. The happiest thing is the one who accompanies you, whether in the world or in heaven.
