Miki: Steve, you are not human!

The film keeps emphasizing that this is a story that has actually happened. I probably think that if this point is not emphasized, many people will suspect that the screenwriter must have been a science fiction writer-how could there be such a "crazy" person in the world who made such a bizarre Things?

Yes, in our eyes, such people are beyond the scope of "normal" and beyond the cognitive scope of our worldview! This great film once again allowed us to meet a group of people outside the "mainstream gay".

You find out that almost all gay films will more or less mention the protagonist’s childhood growth experience. Those childhood chapters woven with little details will eventually become a psychological undercurrent that affects his life. The coordinates are generally clear but implicitly dominate the film. soul.

The breeze caressed on the golden grass. Several children lay in the grass, looking up at the sky. Oh, what a beautiful white cloud dog, you see it is fickle, and we can always see the shape we want to see in it.
Have you seen the big marshmallows slowly drifting across the sky when you were young? Our little Steve did see the beautiful things he longed for-**.

And when the call of the mother on the grass appeared, I knew that the story was about to unfold, and if the protagonist's fate was not unexpected, it would freeze in the next few minutes.

Sure enough, the mother called the little Steve home, and lined up in front of him like his father and eldest brother interrogating, so unscrupulous but very solemnly told him: Steve, you were born when we spent money from you. The mother bought the adoptive drops... The

film does not need to explain whether the adoptive parents care about little Steve, whether the family can give him the corresponding warmth or sense of security, these do not need to be explained, because: it is not The fact of being in person is a fact subconsciously.
The first few minutes ago, what little Steve saw when he was looking up at the white clouds on the grass has already told us the answer: no matter how much care he receives, no matter whether he feels safe in this family or not, his heart is a lack of being loved and loved. Sense of security!

Now you know, it’s not my masculinity. The thing under the crotch of a man is an authority and sustenance to anyone, a fire in the winter, a fetish in the hands of God—no, yes God!

Psychology believes that the impact of a person's childhood experience on his future life is beyond imagination. The various experiences and psychological feelings I have experienced in my childhood will be unconsciously projected on my own behavioral character towards others at different stages in the future.
Just as the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has become an eternal topic, a woman who is loved or made trouble by her mother-in-law when she is young will treat her daughter-in-law in the same way after she becomes someone else's mother-in-law; children who grow up in a single-parent family will marry after an adult It is impossible to guarantee that the same crisis will not occur; a child who is a strict tutor will intensify his (her) children in the future; and those who lack love, warmth and security will most likely become very indifferent when they grow up. The word "love" is not found in his (her) life dictionary. How do you teach him the ability to love others? !

In this way, the protagonist Steve is not crazy, but completely normal.
We see that the background of childhood shadows did not bring him a cold personality. On the contrary, he treated everyone around him with enthusiasm, simplicity and sometimes even wishful thinking. This is mentioned in many places in the film, such as politely giving a rose to the counter at the end of the business, and laughing at strangers at the cash register about his private life, every time he has a huge deposit. Unabashedly revealing wealth..., he is so simple, positive, and optimistic, enjoying every minute and every second of life-what a lovely and kind person!

As for his beloved, he not only spared no effort to give his love, but also tried every means to maintain and increase the freshness and concentration of this love. This is true for Debbie, Jimmy, and Morris.

I still remember the first time Steve found his biological mother, he didn’t even have the slightest resentment (this is beyond normal people’s normal psychology!). He planned to repay her as much as possible with the love of his life, but he knew him well but was flatly rejected. She didn't even recognize each other! Then the movie screen turned, Steve was intoxicated by the pleasure of inserting a man's PP!

This is the first time that the film shows Steve's gay status.

What a meaningful hint of a turning point!
——When a person expresses his inner love and hatred in the way he originally wanted but is denied, he will definitely find another way to express (or vent).

That being the case, Steve's alien-like behavior became logical when he "loved" Jimmy and Morris madly afterwards.
He wants to express the "love" in his heart with actions beyond all the imagination of the world. He wants to express this love by doubling ten million times the N-th power.

He doesn't even know this. In fact, he subconsciously is taking revenge, a kind of compensatory revenge.

he made it. He succeeded. At the same time, he also lost himself.

In the latter part of the film, it has been repeated almost all the time. From Morris's reproach, from Steve's own mind, repeatedly, thinking about this question-"I", who is it?
(Note: From beginning to end, this is a first-person movie. There is only one protagonist, "I"-Steve. Why is this name emphasized in the title of "I Love You Morris"? Not because he is the only male. No., but the name Morris represents most people. He is well-behaved, timid and cowardly. He leaves in front of the "truth" and is sincere in love... Morris is you, me, and all of us. This is the mainstream world.)

Since "you" is Morris, who is "me"?
There was no answer to the question until the end. Because it can't be found. He doesn't know who he is. He didn't know why he did so many things that were considered apostasy.
In the end, he attributed all this to childhood experiences, and he said-maybe since I was born, I was a mistake to be abandoned by her and become the current Steve.

He was really desperate. This time, he was arrested after entering and leaving the prison several times. In the back seat of the car, he tried to get rid of himself by injection! At the same time, the only sad episode appeared in the film. At that moment, I cried and cried bitterly.

Steve, a person who does not have love but wants to prove to the world that he has love, a person who lacks a sense of security but wants to prove to the world how strong he is, a person who has no warmth but tries to be a harbor for his beloved partner, you are not wrong , You just can't understand the world.

Steve, you are not a human being, but a god.

PS, thanks to the director, Jim Carrey and the whole team for bringing this film, to a deep and even heavy story, with a casual attitude, even ridicule and humor, understatement is easy, kind and cute, Like the boy next door in the summer afternoon, wearing only floral cropped trousers, his skin in the sun is as clean and smooth as pebbles by the river, inviting us to roam the grass together, together with the white clouds and dogs in the sky.

I Love You Phillip Morris quotes

  • Steven Russell: Love sure is a funny thing. Makes you happy, makes you sad, makes you do all sorts of things you never thought you'd do before. In fact, love's the reason I'm laying here dying.

  • Steven Russell: Phillip...

    Phillip Morris: Don't.

    Steven Russell: I love you.

    Phillip Morris: From the moment we met, you've done nothin' but lie. Our whole relationship, just lies. I'm such an asshole. You took advantage of me, just like all the others. You were supposed to protect me, but you just did nothing but make a fool out of me. And you expect me to love you? How can I? How can I love you? I don't even know who you are. And you know what's sad? I don't even think you know who you are, so how am I supposed to love someone that don't even exist? You tell me.

    Officer: Morris, you're up.

    Phillip Morris: I'll never forgive you Steven. Never!
