This movie, which is currently the finale of the Looking series, is eager to give an explanation to fans who love it, so it is understandable that it caused a lot of dissatisfaction in the handling of the plot. It's a bit like the finale show that was staged in advance, but unfortunately, the foreshadowing of many characters is far from that step, so I won't describe it in detail considering the spoilers. The ending of "As You Like It" can't hide the decadent and sad temperament that the Looking series has had since the beginning of 2014, a "gay can't get better" temperament, hahaha.
From a certain point of view, the biggest regret left by the looking series is that we may never be able to see the real growth and self-redemption story of Patrick, a living character. Those similar one-by-one accidents and dog-blood events kept on splitting and combining until one day the typical plot could not be edited. It's a lot like Kevin's question to Patrick: Are you willing to trade the risk of loss and pain for a loving ending. But I think, Kevin still doesn't understand Patrick. His love affair with the latter was doomed to fail from the very beginning. Papa didn't leave him because their relationship might fail, but he left because he felt that he had failed. Patrick's There is no sand in the spiritual world. But Kevin's feelings for Patrick are right, that's why he asks the "Have you ever loved me?" So in comparison, Richie is a better fit for Kevin, and Richie may not know Parr fully, but he can care for him in a way Parr wants, and he's a better supporter.
Finally, I refuse to believe that the looking story is dead, please bring us a few more sequels, and good luck on DVD.
