People are responsible for themselves (this is not a movie review)

This isn't a movie review, it's an afterthought.

Quite depressing, the whole story is a process of life withering. It is true that the protagonists have fought and worked hard, but it is a struggle in the face of fate. Some scenes in the movie are more "open", such as male and male passion scenes, so if you don't accept it, don't watch it.

I think the movie can be divided into three parts. One part is the same-sex love between two male...

political funeral

Living in a human society that is clamoring for harmony and not chaos every day, but full of problems, do you think you can still isolate yourself from politics?

Maybe indifference and numbness are your choices, and you dare not reflect on what injustices have happened to you or your close and acquainted people. You are glad that your life is very simple, even if you can never afford a house, you are thinking about life. If you get a hukou in a big city, you can’t make a fortune if you...

Too many words for short reviews, too few words for movie reviews

It took a whole year to watch this one. I am very afraid of watching realistic films, especially gay films. Each film may need to be watched three or four times because it is really distressing. I understand the existence and importance of reality, but sometimes I just want to cover my head and at least relax in a fictional and perfect romantic comedy. Said that the second half of the chain may be heterosexual? I like the second half, life tends to be trivial and peaceful most of the time,...

Majority ≠ Correct, this is everyone's battle!

Thanks for this movie.

This is France in the 1990s, and the kingdom of heaven at this moment in 2018, let alone ACT UP-like groups that fight for their own legitimate interests, we even wipe out the existence of sexual minorities in real time.

It's really heart-wrenching.

However, the more this is the case, the more we have to face this repression, and the more we silence it, the more we should shake our hands and shout!

It's everyone! Every! The accumulated strength...

[Film Review] BPM (Beats Per Minute) (2017)

Drawing on his and his co-writer Philippe Mangeot's personal experiences, French queer filmmaker Robin Campillo's third feature BPM (BEATS PER MINUTE) vehemently re-enacts the activism of ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) group's Paris branch in the early 90s...

I liked the first half so much, the contrast between dust and germs, the contrast of the young body from tenderness to depletion, the heartbeat of a group of dying people's heartbeats bursting with the indulgence and dignity of love. Their anger resounded like a burst of blood, and their sorrow like the bloody silence of the Seine. Never try to speak lightly about the status quo of the existence of minorities. Fighting is never peaceful evolution, fighting is blood and revolution...

4 out of 4: It's been a long time since I've seen such a passionate movie - this rare passion not only from the protest movement, but also from sex, love and life. And when everyone thinks a movie about illness is unquestionably heavy, they're all wrong - it's a movie about brave people who are bound to come, and it doesn't point to heavy because every moment of it is accumulation and release. I don't think the shift towards personal emotional characterization in the second half is a drag on...

On my last night in Paris, the film had just come out, and my friends all went to see it, but I didn't go to find Duras' house. Watching this movie again after a year, I still envy it. I have my own interests, and I can fight and shout (this part is very bloody), which is impossible in China. The male protagonist looks at the Seine River outside the window through the car window. The sunset is sinking, the water is rippling, the beauty of the world and the fragility of life, he is instantly...

Ever since the boy in the history department died, I almost finished reading it with tears on and off. Great, this is the real power of queer movies. It's not just a fight against the virus, it's not just a fight against death. Several episodes are also very contagious, especially the hospital section, which is truly cruel and warm. The dream of the Seine being dyed red, the music is also moving. Want to give ten...
