After watching the movie, I feel flat at the story level, but I like Dolan's elaboration of the state of the characters when they grow up, and the discussion on growth vs. friendship, and I like how he expresses the state of a group of friends together. It's still Dolan's movie, but compared to before, it's not a self-repetition, but this movie is calmer, the character conflicts are lessened, but the things explained are still very real, and I like to tease the new generation in the middle. The generation gap between the 90s and 00s and Dolan and their 80s. After watching the interview, Dolan said that today's young people may not identify themselves as gay, but more ambiguity about their sexuality, which is very real, and this is reflected in this movie. Although Dolan devoted a lot of space to friendship this time, he also brought a little discussion about the mother-son relationship. This may be the main theme of Dolan's film, but by contrast, I don't think LGBTQ+ is not the theme of this film. , and all Dolan movies don't seem to classify homosexuality as a main topic of discussion. Watching interviews is like what he said to discuss everyday things, mother and son, his own growth discovery and the friends around him have The sense of alienation is a universal topic, not sticky labels
