I haven't watched a movie for a long time. I prefer Taiwanese literary films, such as "I Heard", "Zuanshan", "The Blue Gate", "One Page of Taipei", "Midsummer Light Years" and so on. The song attracted me. How should I put it? The feeling after watching it is that I can't say how good it is, and I can't say how bad it is. In short, there are places that I like and things that I don't understand... Maybe it's because I watched it. It's a version without subtitles, which is somewhat affected. The Taiwanese part and the English part were not deeply understood, which affected the lines of the story...
The story takes place in a Catholic school in Taiwan in the 1990s. Martial law was just lifted in Taiwan in 1987, but the society is still conservative. The education in the school is similar to militarized management. The two protagonists in the story, Ah Han and Bridy, met in a band organized by the school's priest. Bridy was a rebellious and disobedient student, while Ah Han was a man who was suppressed by his family but had a lot of ups and downs. A student, but Ahan is more impulsive, desperate and hoarse when faced with emotions, but Bridy is more rational and loving. I will not describe the details of the story too much. The general story line is that in such a social environment, the two students ignorantly realized that they liked the same sex, but due to pressure, they did not get together. Thirty years later, When the priest in the school band passed away, they reunited when they went to mourn.... I think the performance of the film is more vivid when I was young. Although I only cried during the reunion 30 years later, I think the reunion is too portrayed. The frivolous, the tears are just a reunion after 30 years of empathy. This episode does not deduce the life-long profoundness of "the name engraved in my heart". There are some clips in the play that I don't quite understand, such as that of the old man in the park. One paragraph, I only understood it after reading the environmental background. It would be very abrupt if I didn't understand the environmental background. There is also the scene of the last waterfall, which I couldn't understand. I saw some netizens say that they are paying tribute to "Spring Light" I still find it a bit abrupt personally, the highlight of the whole film should be the part at the beach or the part where I listen to music on the phone. In short, I can't empathize with the two parts. I want to express my forbearance...I don't know why I couldn't empathize on the phone...and the ending is a little casual and relaxed~
If you regard this film as a same-sex romance film, I may not recommend it, I feel that the emotion is not full enough, and the storyline is a little messy... But if it is a literary film that depicts the same sex in a large environment, I think it expresses Very good, those who are forbearing, those who are helpless... There are many iconic same-sex incidents in Taiwan throughout the film. The two protagonists met the same-sex street affirmative action on the street when they attended Chiang Ching-kuo's funeral on behalf of the school, and the abrupt scene in the park was also An important venue in the history of homosexuality in Taiwan, as well as "This World" sung by the protagonist in the film several times. This song was published in 1987 when Taiwanese singer Cai Lanqin died. I have seen a lot of netizens saying that it is a tribute to "Happy Spring". The director may want to express too much about the topic of homosexuality, but he has not been able to present it perfectly, but I still like this work, the environment part, The part of human nature and the part of forbearance are very realistic~ Love knows no borders, age, gender, and is worthy of respect. This is a world that explores love and freedom, so we can understand love more broadly, as long as it is love Worth being respected is worth being praised, the rules of this world are set by people. So people are also allowed to break it... The film is very deep and meaningful, but the expression is not in place!
