      The result of a mixture of factors

      Based on the stage musical of the same name, the film tells the story of Louis Irnson's constant conscience torture after abandoning his gay lover, Pryor Walter, who has AIDS. Although it is a discussion of AIDS and death and the chaos of the end of the century, it is not blindly sensational. Instead, the author's confidence in life and rare humor are revealed everywhere. Interesting but sobering presentation of a subject that might otherwise seem overly sentimental. In addition to...

      Everyone is an angel!

      Even a very small American drama made me watch it, I really admire myself. A collection of American problem cultures, thanks to the translators.
          The setting of the story is extremely extreme. One of the gay male protagonists married Mormon's wife, and one of the other gay male protagonists with AIDS was abandoned by his lover. These are the two main lines, and there are many small lines of gay people. I can't remember the ages, and I won't say much about the plot. Or the old rules,...

      hope in despair

      The case of giving up heaven for love is not new. The reason for PRIOR to give up heaven and choose the world is not love, but just the desire for life. No matter where there is betrayal, illness or pain, he is willing to be in the heartbreak Staying a little longer on the land, fighting against life and misfortune, finally he regained love and happiness. I didn't expect it to end in this way, whether it's illness or betrayal, we've become so familiar and used to it. But in the reunion between...

      I won't comment on the drama, I really like a song "i'm his child"

      The song is nice, and Zella Jackson-Price's singing is very good. Although it is a religious song, the
      people at the funeral are all kinds of people, dressed in all kinds of strange clothes, but no matter what, they are the children of God
      Lyrics:
      I may not be the best of anything
      Or have the best of anything
      Sometimes I feel like I'm the least of all
      But I know someone who has everything
      And He is my everything
      And I happy just to know that I'm His child...

      Every American is related to Prior Walter (Such an idiotic title back then. Every American White Guy? Maybe?)

      Introduction In the past century, the LGBT in America have fought long and hard for their equal rights. The majority of Americans are now in favor of homosexual marriage, while as lately as 1989 merely a little more than 10 percent of the nation liked this idea (Smith). Gay writers have played a big role in this shift, as Christopher Bram writes: “The gay revolution began as a literary revolution” (qtd. in Smith). According to him, The Second World War and the civil rights movements in the...

      Ah...the importance of wearing a condom.... Freedom is always a relative concept.

      Four and a half stars. Except for the incomprehensible Angel and Joe's mother's incomprehensible brain circuits, everything was fine. It's more emotional to watch this drama in combination with today's. The most distressing character is undoubtedly Joe Pitt, the beautiful dummy, as the "villain" that you American leftists hate, but magically has clear and transparent eyes, perfectly compatible with conservative and open, selfish and honest. Quality, pure and innocent scumbags, pure and innocent...

      I don't understand it at all, so I'm embarrassed to give stars! The first rabbi played by Gu Mei is not rude at all! It's so far to kill one person with multiple angles in the cloud...

      It takes a certain amount of patience to understand such a profound religious film, especially since he is still 6 hours...

    The film is upbeat, and while it's about AIDS and death and the chaos of the end of the century, it's not all about sensationalism.

    Movie quotes

    • Harper Pitt: I burned dinner.

      Joe Pitt: I'm sorry.

      Harper Pitt: Not my dinner, my dinner was fine. Your dinner. I put it back in the oven and turned everything up as high as it could go and I watched 'til it burned black. It's still hot, very hot, want it?

      Joe Pitt: You didn't have to do that.

      Harper Pitt: I know, it just seemed like the kinda thing a mentally-deranged sex-starved pill-popping housewife would do.

    • Harper Pitt: It's a sin and it's killing us both.

    • Harper Pitt: I wish I could go traveling. Things aren't right with me.

      [Harper opens cabinet door in bathroom to remove pill container. She closes the door which reveals Mr. Lie's reflection in the mirror. She gasps.]

      Mr. Lies: Cash, check, or credit card?

      Harper Pitt: You startled me.

      Mr. Lies: Cash, check, or...

      Harper Pitt: I remember you. You're from Salt Lake. You sold us the plane tickets when we flew here. What are you doing in Brooklyn?

      Mr. Lies: You said you wanted to travel.

      Harper Pitt: How thoughtful!

      Mr. Lies: Mr. Lies of the International Order of Travel Agents. We mobilize the globe. We set people adrift. We are adepts of motion, acolytes of the flocks. Cash, check, or credit card, name your destination.

      Harper Pitt: Antartica, maybe? I want to see the hole in the ozone. I heard on the radio...

      Mr. Lies: We'll arrange a guided tour. Now?

      Harper Pitt: Soon, maybe soon. I'm not safe here, you see. Weird stuff happens.

      Mr. Lies: Like?

      Harper Pitt: Like you, for instance. Just appearing. Or last week. Well, nevermind. People are like planets, you need a thick skin. Joe stays away and now, well look, my dreams are talking back to me.

      Mr. Lies: The price of rootlessness, motion sickness. Only cure, keep moving.

      Harper Pitt: I'm undecided. I feel that something's going to give. It's 1985... fifteen years to the third millennium. Maybe Christ will come again or maybe the troubles will and the end will come. And the sky will collapse and there'll be terrible rain and showers of poison light. Or maybe my life is really fine... maybe Joe loves me and I'm only crazy thinking otherwise. Or maybe not. Maybe it's even worse than I know. Maybe I want to know, maybe I don't. The suspense, Mr. Lies, it's killing me.

      Mr. Lies: I suggest a vacation.
