It was the love between Ignacio and Enrique, the boys of two church schools in the 1960s. The scenes of the year reproduced with yellowed black-and-white images and slow motion, the two beautiful little boys looking at each other on the football field and in the church, plus the extremely sensational soundtrack, are absolutely thrilling. Although I would suspect that such a small child doesn't understand love at all, but what is that if it is not love?
In addition, Father Manolo's fascination with Ignacio has also been shown quite moving. In Ignacio's clear singing voice, Manolo tried his best to restrain the tears in his eyes and the surging emotions in his heart. I don't know why, gay directors like to shoot stories about older men who can't help but fall in love with teenage boys, like this one, and the famous "Soul Broken Venice". In fact, this kind of sentiment should transcend sexual attraction, and it is more of a kind of worship of beauty-"Soul Broken Venice" basically handles it this way, but this one is not. Manolo physically offended little Ignacio and fired Enrique. His behaviors born out of love directly caused Ignacio's degeneration in adulthood.
Life is so cruel. More than ten years later, the angelic boy Ignacio turned into a very unbearable abnormal person who took drugs, changed sex, lied, and made a living by squeezing and extorting. However, life has real beauty and love. The innocent love of the year still survives tenaciously in his heart. He remembered this love by writing stories. Similarly, Enrique, who became a director, will never forget this. He is a person with boundaries, and hides his feelings very well. However, in the last shot of the movie, he received Ignacio's masterpiece and leaned on the door, with a huge sadness on his face. He is a man who has entered the world, working hard to make movies and not giving up the value of the world, but he is divided again. Some things, in him, have gone with Ignacio forever. I can't describe what it is, but I can feel it. Every one of us is like this, isn't it?
The story of first love is often told in flashback. No matter how unbearable people are, there was a pure and beautiful face of a young man back then, and a sincere and crystal-like feeling. But, irresistibly, in the face of the years, they were all broken, deformed, dirty, and dirty. Jumping from the adult's indifferent and numb face back to the past is always awe-inspiring. In addition to flashbacks, this story has multiple clues that go hand in hand, including stories from movies, stories from multiple memories, and stories from stories. It's complicated in form, but it's very clear.
Spaniards, men and women, often have a bright and deep face. In this movie, Ignacio's transgender female face appeared. His younger brother Luan's transgender appearance in women's clothing has a very strange female beauty, and it is not annoying. interesting.
Little Ignacio's singing is absolutely amazing. His interpretation of the Spanish version of "Moon River" is actually the best version I have ever heard. In my impression, there is also a movie that relies entirely on the chorus of boys and children: last year's French film "The Spring of the Cow Herding Class". If this is aside, it is a simple imitation of "Spring Wind and Rain".
I have also watched several gay movies, from Guan Jinpeng's "Lan Yu", Wong Kar-wai's "Happy Together" to Ang Lee's "Broken Arms Mountain", but I was the only one moved by this one. I don't know why. Hey.
