The fringes of the two cities, Nene and Angle, the former is a betrayal of the family, and the latter is an unidentified homeless who got together because they were both gay. The first time they met in a public toilet, after having sex, Nene learned that Angle had nowhere to go and decided to bring him home. From the moment Angle snuffed out the cigarette for Nene, their fates were inevitably tied together.
They are called "twins", a pair of lovers who are closely attached to each other, but at the same time their hearts are full of madness. They are killers and live by doing some "unseen" activities, just like their identities, often Excluded homosexuals. Angle suffers from auditory hallucinations, is religious, and I guess it's because of some magical teaching that resists physical contact with Nene. He is lost and trapped, and love with Nene is his only support. We got a glimpse of Nene's thoughts through Nene's profiling of prostitutes. The performance in that section was incredible, Nene muttered about his relationship with his lover, "I seem to be born by him, he understands me", "He takes care of me" I'm not good at myself, I'm so stupid, I need to take care of him." There was infinite tenderness in his eyes, and tears were glistening. The film doesn't focus on depicting how the love between them came about, but it brings out the warmth and bloom of this love to the extreme. For them, it doesn't matter how they love each other, what matters is the emotion of love itself, and they suddenly become abstracted because of this - gay love, which is originally a kind of love in the most ordinary state.
These two characters remind me of Hesse's "Nazis and Godmund", one surrenders to religion, the other to lust. There are two scenes in the film that are montage clips of the two male protagonists in different spaces. Once, the scene where Nene has sex with a prostitute overlaps with the scene of Angle's self-harm, and once the prostitute gives Nene blowjob and Angle stares and finally falls. The scenes of the broken glass crystal ball overlap each other. I understand that this is a choice for the two of them when faced with their own difficulties. Nene goes to indulge and has fun, while Angle fights against himself. The situations of their different choices are edited together, especially the second one, where an emotional resonance is felt. This shows that their destiny is one, and they end up in the same way, and they will eventually go to each other. Coincidentally, the final Godmund also died in the arms of Nazis.
In the climax of the scene, they are ready to confront the world with their exhilarating passion for fighting and resentment for being excluded by fate. One of the main contradictions of the film is "money", I think in the last scene, money goes from the worldly desire they've been chasing to a symbol of the world they want to resist, destroy, they're naked , pour the wine on the stacks of paper money, and light it, the flames burn like their lust, and burn this prejudiced world clean! Crazy and ardent, hymn of desire and liberation, burning coins in flames, what a beautiful and poetic confrontation!
This absolute love is the absolute belonging of you possessing me and I possessing you. It is the mundane embodiment of love and desire at the abstract level. It is the desire of homosexuality and even the desire of human beings. There was no reconciliation and no concession, but we perished together with the fight against the praise itself. I used a gun to kill the last shreds of noise in this world that disturbed your ears. If we meet again, it will be a place where there will be no such disturbances. Before the shady, they hugged tightly.
