In my impression, the style of South American movies is always rough and simple, and the pictures are real and textured. From "Elite Forces 1, 2", which won the Golden Bear for director Jose Padilla, to "City of God", from Brazil's "Two Rabbits" to Colombia's "Hail Mary", and even "Central Station", which is also a warm film, seems to be the South American director who never cares about the arrangement of the scenes. Every scene has a taste of informality and randomness. These films make you feel like the director is holding a DV, shooting wherever you go, simple yet rich in content. "Burning Coins", which has never fallen out of the list of the top ten most popular movies among gays, is a typical representative. This film, which is clearly engraved with praise for male power, is unrestrained and powerful. Especially in the end, it seems that through the rough and grainy pictures, you can also smell the male hormones under the underwear of several male protagonists, which makes people feel seduced, shocked, or suppressed for a long time. growl. However, this "Hawaii", which is also produced in Argentina, is a rare and fresh, small literary art. Can't help but look at it carefully.
There are only five people in the whole movie, and one has no lines. However, a good movie never cares about the number of people, and it is enough to describe the growing affection between two men. Whether the two male protagonists in the film fall in love with whom first, or fall in love at first sight at the same time, is a matter of what the benevolent sees the wise. In my opinion, I prefer to believe that Eugenio first fell in love with Martin. The sentence "Come back tomorrow" is obviously the best way to say that you are temporarily overwhelmed by unexpected things, and you are not willing to lose the opportunity. As for Martin, at most it was just an impression of childhood playmates. It is said that warm and lustful thinking, in Martin's situation at the time, was more for making ends meet, I am afraid there is no chance or even that he is not allowed to think more and more deeply. However, although Martin realized it later, he found that he fell in love with Eugenio, and the love was no less than Eugenio, even more active and fiery, so that Martin also took the initiative to kiss Eugenio. Henio.
Whether Eugenio liked it out of sympathy or sympathized with Martin out of sympathy was immaterial. He takes care of Martin like a brother and loves him like a husband. He loved it so much that he was even happy and content to be able to do something for Martin. He loves Martin and wants to be with him all the time, but he never dares to take a leap. Which passage of his brother's visit was obviously his inner monologue. He was entangled, entanglement would hurt Martin's self-esteem, afraid that he would not see the future, and that he would face everything possible in the future. So, even when Martin finds out that he likes him, Eugenio gets angry and keeps looking for reasons. He didn't want to be seen through by Martin, because he didn't know what would happen if he was seen through. He was not ready, and it was difficult for him to accept that his secret was discovered, even by someone he liked. He didn't know that Martin had already put down his line of defense for him. Perhaps from the time Martin disclosed his plight of "sleeping on the street" to him, Martin had completely entrusted himself to Eugenio, and he had already entrusted himself with Eugenio for the sake of him. Neo is together, ready to give it all...
The whole movie doesn't have much dialogue, no obscurity. The only thing more controversial may be the symbolism of "two pineapples". In the end, maybe the two pineapples were placed in the same shape as the last two in the wheat field, or maybe the "two pineapples" symbolized "good memories" and "happy future". Don't get caught up in this.
The usual small fresh, small literary films look more or less boring, but "Hawaii" does not seem protracted, due to the director's proper handling of details (obviously the screenwriter has made a certain amount of effort) and the turn of the story. The reason for the grasp of the rhythm of the field is in place. In terms of pictures, the director is quite satisfactory, at least it makes people feel the tranquility of the small Argentine countryside in February and the secret love that trickles behind it. However, the director's control over the light is slightly insufficient, which is probably the reason why South American directors are usually informal. In addition, it is said that the acting skills of the two protagonists are somewhat lacking. I think Eugenio's actor has performed well, while Martin's actor does need to be improved, but his handsomeness and cuteness can be considered to make up for the lack of performance. I still remember the scene where Martin and Eugenio shot the inflatable gun. Martin's smug and contented smile also made my heart waver, and I was intrigued...
I am very happy that Argentina in February can also bring a warm breeze like Hawaii, which warms the hearts of audiences far away in the Asian continent. It can be said to be a good film.
