Everyone goes alone

Very sad, very quiet

. Some third-rate producers now, such as some domestic movies, such as the "Bangkok xx story" in Thailand, seem to think that a gay movie is a gimmick. , 囧囧 can be indifferent. These movies that are useless after picking up the label of gay, you should really see this work that is still unforgettable without being a headline party.

After Brokeback Mountain, this is another movie that touched me a lot.

How far are we from death? Life is like a bus trip. Death is the inevitable end. The essence of life is actually very boring. It is to wait for the end in the bus. In this long or short journey, we must do something to divert, right? So some people took out their drawing boards and started sketching, some took a camera to take pictures of the scenery outside the window, some were gambling, and some were reading... This is life, to relieve boredom before death.

Cough...that's off topic. The world has existed before me, and it still operates after me. When I look up at the vast starry sky, isn't the sense of insignificance and disillusionment as a human being frightening? Confucius said that if you don't know life, how can you know death. Conversely, how can one know life without knowing death? Modern people will always have things to do, and they should cherish every minute and every second. Because God is dead, the foundation of life collapses, causing us a huge spiritual crisis, and we desperately fill in time, afraid that once we stop, we will have to face the fundamental doubts of life. Many people end up in mediocrity and never think about the real understanding of death. This may be the subconscious instinct to reject this black hole-like problem.

But suddenly, issues that can be evaded on the surface of life—life and death, meaning, and value—are forced to come to the fore. Death's back is already so clear. The protagonist has to make a choice in the face of the bad news,

no matter how many relatives there are in this world, when people come and when they leave, they are always alone. The protagonist does not want to be a weak passive waiting for death in the end. It is conceivable that the news spreads, sincere or unfeeling, greetings, crying, comforting, surrounded by relatives and friends, surrounded by an atmosphere of despair, just waiting for their last moments in their grief. Man dies before he dies. No, he doesn't need sympathy. Even if the result is the same, the protagonist hopes to take the initiative and choose death instead of death. He threw the phone into the trash can, breaking the last trace of contact with the world.

Sometimes I think the protagonist's decision is cruel. He doesn't tell anyone about his terminal illness, including his parents, sister, friends, and lovers who love him. He even hurts his lover and drives him away, but only tells his grandma. , the reason is "you will not live long". Seeing the scene where the lover rejects him when he meets his lover again later, I think the protagonist has hurt the lover too deeply. His lover was simply like a child, perhaps because he was afraid that he would not be able to go out again when he turned around, and that he was afraid of being hurt again. Yes, the protagonist chose the most painful and lonesome way of death for him, the most dignified way of death for him - a lonely death.

But what about after he's gone? The son and younger brother's departure without saying goodbye will bring a big blow to parents and sisters, and what will the lovers who are pretended to be abandoned by him think?

Yes, he was clean, he could lie on the beach, feel the caress of the sun, listen to the sound of the waves, the days fell into the sea, the darkness swept up... and then, before he knew it, he became part of it all. In the final scene of the movie, at the seaside at night, his black profile is like the rolling mountains of the sea.

He seems to be protecting the people he loves, but he's actually protecting himself

but that's for another day. Everything is blameless for the dead.

I cry when I come, please let me be quiet when I leave.


ps: The male protagonist is very handsome! >_<
