write something

I watched it for the second time today, and the reason I watched it again was that I couldn't find the subtitles yesterday. Although there were no subtitles for the first time, but I also understood the plot, and the story of the movie was told well.

The second time, this time with subtitles, it was very uncomfortable after reading it. The story is that Barry fell in love with Calpernia, who had not yet been fully transformed, and then was known by his comrade-in-arms Fisher, who first instigated a recruit to inform him, and later hinted that the recruit would teach Barry a lesson.

Hate Fisher very much, because he instigated others to inform. Whistleblowing is despised by gentlemen, it is the most indiscriminate method, it is disgusting! Second, because he instigated the recruits to fight with Barry, and he played a role that had nothing to do with him, obviously he had a ghost in his own heart, but he used others, disgusting! Third, because he backed away when facing his own sexual orientation, he was busy identifying others, and found that his comrades liked transgender people of unknown gender, but he couldn't accept it. The moral high ground is the same. Attacking other people's sexuality is the most boring. It's like greeting someone's mother during a fight. It's unbearable!

What a nice guy Barry was, kind and gentle. He wanted to know everything about Calpernia, he couldn't bear Calpernia to have surgery, he was the one he loved, and even though he thought about it for a while, he still chose to be with him. He didn't say anything about discrimination and bullying, and took the initiative to reconcile with his comrades. Why can't such a good person tolerate him? He's just not heterosexual, but isn't heterosexual guilty? Is it hard to admit that there are so many ways of being in love in this world? Why do we use all means to exclude and suppress it? I do not understand. It's okay if he hides his sexuality, but he also has the same right to stand under the sun with the one he loves. What if Barry was your friend? It's perfectly fine for him to pretend that he is heterosexual, so you think he is a normal person and a good friend of yours. Suddenly he tells you that he is not heterosexual, and he becomes a monster? I find this view very ridiculous. Everyone deserves to be loved. It is only because there are more heterosexuals in this world that everyone is acquiesced as normal, but it does not mean that it is correct. I hope that more and more people will have an inclusive mindset in the future. Unlike you, it may be normal. You feel abnormal, maybe just because you see too little in the world and make a fuss.
