A very delicate film, love is hidden in unspoken expressions, actions and details. There is no confession over and over, but every little action contains feelings. This is the way love anonymity appears in life.
Although one is hot and the other is still water, this technique appears in both this film and "Brokeback Mountain".
1. Yearning for New York
Angel holding an English dictionary looks like a believer holding a Bible, which is his belief in their bright future.
Nene refused to learn English, and he asked over and over again, not without disappointment. (Of course, this is most likely a misunderstanding between the two, nene flaunts to the prostitute how Angel takes care of him, he likes the feeling of being taken care of. He can't learn English, so Angel can't be left behind in New York He, they will be together.)
2. Twins telepathy
Every time Nene is warm with others, she cross-edits scenes of Angel's torment.
The first time I met a strange man in the toilet, Nene yelled at him with Angel's daily questions, "Sister! Pervert! Gay!", and threatened him with a gun, as if to imagine this man as Angel or a representative of social pressure , to oppress and conquer him. Angel was praying in the church at this time, bowing to religious beliefs and social pressure.
The second or third time Nene was at the prostitute's house, when the prostitute said she was going to die and wanted him to leave, the concern in Nene's eyes was like that of a depressed angel. Angel once cut the lifeline of the palm, and once smashed the crystal ball.
The lifeline means that he wants to change his fate and make himself more worthy of nene.
3. Beach play
Angel used his hand to shade the light, and Nene gave him the sunglasses at once. Angel knew that he had someone else and rushed into the sea. The driver finally grabbed his gun, but Nene shot the love song disc behind his back. Nene felt Angel's rejection, thinking that this was his intention, never thought that his was actually so painful. The men and women dancing to the love songs seemed to be satirizing his emotional predicament.
4. The prostitute's house
For the first time, nene talks about Angel to a prostitute, like a teenager who can't hide her thoughts, but she never talks about a prostitute to Angel, because she doesn't matter at all, it's just a tool to help escape.
And nene took the fault of Angel's shooting on himself, "If it wasn't for the last resort, I wouldn't kill anyone." Although very angry at the time of the incident.
As for Angel, as soon as he entered the door, he stared at the bed and the woman, as if to confirm that this was where the hickey occurred, and then ripped the wallpaper furiously. The feminine decoration of small flowers further strengthened Nene's betrayal.
5. Burn coins
When the two were talking head to head, Angel said that he finally got rid of the hallucinations. Auditory hallucinations are the internalization of social concept, religious and psychological obstacles in Angel's mind. In extreme environments and at the juncture of life and death, these obstacles no longer exist, and there is no longer any barrier between them, only the instinct of survival and courtship is closely linked.
Before he died, Nene said he heard those voices too, perhaps a sign that he was finally able to empathize with Angel. He lamented that only Angel understood him, but he didn't understand Angel. But in this extreme environment, they got to know each other.
