The first time I watched this film, of course, it was for the looks, and that part of the public bathroom jerking off was so impressive that I didn't dare to take a breath. The second time I watch it seriously, I will have a hard time. I feel that it is learning a lot of gay films. It can be said to be a tribute, but it is always a little bit less interesting. It’s a pity that it doesn’t feel like a better film.
meet
If the first time we met in the swimming pool, the strange Birdy attracted A-Han, then when A-Han and his roommate sneaked out to dance with other girls from other schools and tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time, A-Han found that he had no feelings for the girls. Then, during the rehearsal of the orchestra, the priest's expression about love, he and Birdy also looked at each other, that was the beginning of Ah Han's heartbeat, and it was also the recognition that he began to know his sexuality.
After that, I started to pay attention to Birdy from time to time. My roommates bullied gay classmates in the bathroom late at night. In fact, Ah Han was already on the gay side, but he didn't dare to admit it. Instead, it was Birdy's bravery that rescued the classmate. Ah Han admired him. Birdy's bravery, in fact, I think another side shows that Birdy is actually gay and has a great interest in A-Han, so he will always appear by his side and attract his attention.
When they were in Taipei, it was a process of further intimacy between the two: Birdy was not used to the plainclothes expelling the gay placard holder (as if the information said that he was the first gay in Taiwan to come out of the closet and speak out), they would use In other people's words, express your love, "If what you gave to me is the same as what you gave to others, then I don't want it." "Then we won't have children in the future." "Okay, I'll be with you anyway. It was impossible to give birth.” (The singer they listened to was called Cai Lanqin. At that time, he asked not to be exposed, not to be famous, and to agree to the recording under the premise of not being under pressure, but he hurriedly bid farewell to the world after the recording, which shows his music creation even more. People are pure and moving, so even when no one sings, they still touched nearly 300,000 young hearts. Simply to prove the love for music and leave a memory for Cai Lanqin.) So I stayed in the K room all night. In, Birdy asked what would you do if I died? Ah-Han is a shy person who only answers Birdy by kissing him secretly after he falls asleep.
The relationship between both parties has grown in turbulent times.
(Taiwanese gay movies seem to like to put historical events together. They went to Taipei to mourn the death of Chiang Ching-kuo. After that, Taiwan's suppression of cultural thoughts began to relax. There is a bit of "Girlfriend Boyfriend" here.)
contradiction
In the new semester, the school has begun to reform, with the participation of school girls. The boys all have long hair, but Birdy is the only one who doesn't follow the trend, only his hair is cut shorter, and Ah Han has also begun to be brave, daring to refuse his roommate and birdy to walk side by side in the sun. But compared to Ah Han who just wanted to protect the small world that belonged to the two of them, Birdy actually wanted to fight against the oppression of the system, so whether it was being besieged by Ah Han's roommate, the conflict between the instructor asking men and women to rehearse separately during the orchestra rehearsal, or the competition When they sang Cai Lanqin's "This World", they were directly interrupted and disqualified. Birdy's outrageousness and Ah Han's grievances and grievances all caused them to have a gap in their feelings. At this time, the brave expression of elementary school girls would make Birdy feel comforted.
"Are you two in love?" Birdy's reaction was very subtle at the time. I think Birdy didn't think about that aspect of the school girl at first, but after A-Han said this, he felt that this girl could be used to eliminate A-Han's feelings. own dependence.
If you don't have the courage to face the world with me, then I'd rather you be alone in peace.
How could Birdy not know Ah Han's mind? In fact, Birdy, who looks carefree, is a thoughtful boy. From last school year, A-Han came to school because of his poor grades, and this semester, A-Han transferred classes directly and was with Birdy without any scruples in front of his former friends. About them Homosexual rumors have already begun. So Birdy knew A-Han's intentions, but he didn't dare to respond to him, but to stimulate him with his girlfriend, he actually wanted to provoke A-Han. After all, when they were together, it was equivalent to standing against the whole world. Has Ahan thought about it? Can you be as brave as Birdy? Birdy knew Ah Han, so he chose to give up the relationship.
In the park, I could even hear A-Han's heartbroken voice. A-Han never responded to calling Birdy. This actually represented an attitude of Birdy - refusal. But after Birdy's traffic accident, the only person to be notified was Ah Han. (Ahan was kissed by the old man in the park, which is a bit of the shadow of "Niezi" and "Midsummer Light Years")
That bathroom scene with A-Han after Birdy's injury is definitely the climax of the movie! The filming is bold but delicate from time to time, and the long shot of two and a half minutes is a super test of the actors' acting skills. From the beginning, Ah Han helped Birdy wash his hair and then slowly wash his body. At that time, Ah Han should only think about helping the action. It was inconvenient for Birdy to take a bath, so I told Birdy to turn around and wash it without any evil thoughts, but at that time, Birdy refused to turn around. I think it was because Birdy felt hard, so he didn't dare to transfer it to Ah. Han saw that, after all, they slept together (at Ah-Han's house), and Birdy also urinated in the instructor's car in front of Ah-Han, so I was just afraid that JJ would be seen by Ah-Han and I didn't think it made sense. So when Ah Han touched it and found that Birdy was hard, didn't you have a girlfriend? Haven't you been refusing to respond to me? How did you react to me? Ah Han's dissatisfaction and Birdy's guilty conscience all slowly reached a climax in this small shower room, accompanied by violent movements and rapid panting.
After the passion, Ah Han was completely shocked by what he had done to Birdy, because his intentions for Birdy were very clear, but he had been through pain and doubt without a response. As he strode forward in anticipation, his head went blank. Instead, Birdy, the sober one between them, finally summoned up the courage to kiss Ah Han, how forceful the kiss was, showing Birdy's determination, and then he said three words of sorry. , I think the difference is knowing that A-Han likes him but has not responded, and using a little junior sister to deceive him and hurt him, and finally it should be the guilt of trapping A-Han in a homosexual relationship. The two trembling souls finally embraced each other, and their crying and hugging seemed to express their respective suppressed emotions in the past.
It was clearly the relationship between the two sides that was confirmed, but in the face of social pressure, their relationship was still unrealized. It was because of this clear understanding that Birdy was still as estranged from A-Han as before, after being detained in school. After the inspection, when A-Han wanted to take the blame for him, Birdy also went directly to A-Han's house to find his life - parents, so that A-Han could move forward on the so-called right track. This also made A-Han clearly know how naive he had always hoped for only two people to be together! So they run aimlessly, hoping to reach the end of the world, but they end up only briefly escaping reality. At the seaside, Ah Han finally kissed Birdy bravely, but he could only kiss, because he also understood that their relationship could not resist the pressure of the whole society.
In that call, Birdy, who has always had short hair, also began to grow long hair. In fact, it also implied that he finally failed to resist the pressure of confronting the world and gave in. Their crying and helpless separation at both ends of the phone were all in the song " "The Name Engraved in My Heart" brings a kind of heart-wrenching pain. If the movie ends here, that's fine. (From the name of the play, it's a bit like "Please call me by your name")
reunion
Watching the waterfall alone after 30 years is obviously a tribute to my favorite "Breakthrough", but I can't figure out why there is this last paragraph, let's see Ahan and Birdy, who have been devastated by the years, become greasy uncles. Really okay? Moreover, in these ten minutes of play, Dai Liren can actually be nominated for the Best Supporting Actor in Golden Horse? A black question mark! !
What's even more difficult to accept is that after so many years, the two sides must have experienced a lot, that Birdy actually said a very standard scumbag quote - in fact, I really loved you at that time. Please, your last sentence was still saying that in the environment at that time, whoever said that he was gay would die, so you should love yourself a little more, or you would not escape, and suddenly this relationship became so cheap. And the sentence Ahan asked back, "Who knows what the world will be like in 30 years. What about now? You can say it out loud, okay?" Are you still silent? So in fact, your escape character has not changed!
What's even more annoying is that in the face of Birdy like this, you still posted it again. I'm not happy at all with a happy ending. Instead, I completely lost the beauty of their previous phone calls without words and crying.
In the end, it was the long shot that Taiwanese films are accustomed to ending. The two young people finally ushered in the dawn, but what does this dawn have to do with them? That Birdy didn't dare to say it out loud even to this day, is this the name engraved in your heart? Pity.
