Let's fast-forward straight to the middle of the 80-minute film, the "obvious" most important scene.
Patrick took the escalator and slowly entered. Kevin was waiting for the exit, the first sentence was: "well this is a surprise". He was a little bit hostile, obviously had a belly of "WTF" but had to shut up temporarily. Sounds totally like a hopeless cynic.
After the hug, Kevin says you don't have to dress up like that. Patrick was a little embarrassed and said it was because Augustin got married today. In fact, we all know that this is probably a joke by the screenwriter with private goods - such an important scene, not dressing up is not in line with P's style.
After that, Kevin chose to take the initiative to break the embarrassment. Without knowing exactly what P came to, he suggested that the two move to the cafe. On the way, Kevin made another "don't fall in love with your subordinates" joke. At this point, we probably already knew the state of Kevin. Obviously he thinks that the comer is not good, but he is thinking of the old love, let him continue the performance first, and see what medicine he sells in the gourd. My expression is the same as Patrick in the last shot before they enter the cafe: WTF?
Indeed, after that it was replaced by Patrick "WTF". Because Kevin basically couldn't hold back, he directly told him that he not only got back with Jon, but also "thanks to P for messing up his life", and did not directly reveal the fact that he and Jon are now in an open relationship.
You all pay attention to Xiao Qiao's final expression: Obviously! Why am I not surprised!
Of course, our Oscar-winning actress won't be obedient, with indirect fragrances like "You already sound like an American", and the standard "I hope you are well" congratulations that Americans use at the end. Almost a textbook answer.
Too bad K is not a vegetarian. A "Shall we sit?" with that raised eyebrow. I immediately spit out the rice. There was a good show.
After that, K turned into a logical genius, and unhurriedly debunked a bunch of far-fetched reasons fabricated by P. Obviously, this pretext for meeting was a little weak. The conversation naturally slid in the inevitable direction. So K didn't continue to sell off, and directly asked his soul: Did you really love me?
I'm not lying, the first time I watched it, I heard K's question, and my expression was exactly the same as Xiao Qiao's:
Is it worth asking such an obvious question?
Yes, in 2016, when the season finale movie first came out, I watched it right away. My reaction was the same as Joe's. Obviously, this question does not need to be asked.
Nearly four years later, I watched "Portrait of a Burning Woman" and didn't particularly like it. But I suddenly had the urge to open "Call Me By Your Name" and watch it for a while. When I was in a trance, this Looking season finale movie on my hard drive appeared in front of me lying quietly there. I just opened it randomly.
Looking back four years later, I actually cried.
Because if you ask me the obvious question now, my answer is no longer obvious. Don't ask.
The content after this scene (including the previous content) is believed to be clearly remembered by those who have seen it. Obviously Kevin is the one who sees the facts, obviously Kevin is more reasonable, obviously Patrick is almost speechless when asked, obviously I am the coward. My obvious is my shield, my fig leaf. My obvious is a curse on myself.
I said in the previous season 2 movie review that I am very able to relate to Patrick. He is not confident, he has no sense of security, he is worried about gains and losses. What I didn't realize was that he and I like to use the "obvious" to judge others and make up the world. We don't dare to face the good and bad directly outside the door, so we have to lock ourselves in our room and point fingers at the air. Then wear a set of deduced theories as clothes.
I do have some back pain while standing and talking. The Patricks in this world are indeed more cautious and lack self-confidence, and they (me) can't do anything about it. That's right. And it's really hard to understand someone who isn't Patrick. Why? I just finished watching Hulu's new "Normal People" tonight, and I was blown away halfway through what I thought was just a love story. Again, I cried again. Because I immediately think of Elio, I immediately think of Patrick.
The plot of "Normal People", if there is no one who has experienced it personally, I think it is difficult to really understand it. On the surface, it is divided and closed, coming and going, and the blood of the dog is reversed. In fact, it was the two souls who both knew that they had a part of their trapped souls, wandering around in the same place, hesitating to move forward, but could not take that step. Seeing people anxious, more distressed.
So much so that at the end of the 11th episode (I think the 11th episode is the end of the story, and the last 12th episode is the end), the two of them completed each other's growth and redemption in the car. and complete.
Is this process difficult? difficult. Painful? Very. Do we all experience it? Not necessarily. And few people have this "lucky" to experience. Why? Because you see, Elio has to have Oliver, Patrick has to have Kevin, and Marianne and Connell can only have each other. They were lucky enough to meet the destined person. They meet true love. This is my luck, not my life.
Of course love does not mean live happily ever after. Everyone is an adult. This is actually the greatness of true love. Because true love is not to stay with each other (this is often limited by realistic conditions), nor is it to be harmonious with each other (what can make two people harmonious may not be love), but as we all know, mutual fulfillment. What is the highest state of loving someone? I hope TA is better, put TA before me, and pay for TA unconditionally. Then to complete the TA (the more accurate here should be "achievement" TA), so that TA can become the best TA, isn't it the ultimate meaning of love.
I believe that the plot of the movie itself does not need me to say more. It's all "what those boys taught me". Kevin taught him how to love himself, and Richie taught him how to love others. That's enough, Patrick in the play is close to completeness. At least he took the first step bravely and hope he gets better and better.
Thank you for these movies and TV. Hope I can get better too.
