      God matched their souls

      Spring is the most beautiful season, but the winter there is too long. Two lonely souls, bodies with nowhere to stay, begin a entanglement of mutual temptation, on farms and wilderness. Personally I have always felt that the highest form of love is kissing, which is far more important and holy than sex. Because sex is a primordial desire, kissing is love and acceptance. So the shepherd has sex with people almost at will, but kissing seems to be much harder for him.

      The life of the...

      Impress you with my rich animal husbandry technology

      The story is very simple. Johnny had to leave the university and return to the countryside to run a farm that he had no interest in because of his father's illness. He was frustrated and depressed every night to get drunk and have fun, and his life had no direction. During the busy sheep farrowing season, the farm invited Romanian immigrant Gheorghe to help. Johnny saw his bearded face and thought he was Pakistani at first, and then scorned him as a gypsy.

      Johnny rejects immigrants,...

      Love is the force of nature

      After watching this movie, I suddenly and deeply understand that love is the force of nature, whether it is the same sex or the opposite sex.

      Love is physical attraction and spiritual resonance. A good lover makes people more mature and more responsible. Love is wanting to be with you.

      To borrow teacher Chu's words, homosexuality is a sexual orientation, and "base" is a way of life. So gays just happen to fall in love with gays. We have the right to love the opposite sex, and...

      kingdom of god

      I first knew about this drama after seeing the recommendation of some public accounts and the discussion caused by the cancellation of the film festival. The original name was interesting, now it's called the Kingdom of God. The plot is very realistic, and let me know some things about living on the farm. Those who work there for a long time need a lot of skills. I used to envy the people who ran farms, but I found that life is really trivial in reality. One mistake and the animal loses...

      Rough and sweet. The story is not complicated, and the emotional direction is not very bizarre and profound, but it was filmed along the way, and every turning point was handled well and quite solid. And there is a sense of substitution, as calm as I have gone deep into the play, I can't wait to get into the screen and pull the two of them together and never...

      Love turns a brutish and saucy guy into a tender and good boy. As dirty in the front, as sweet in the back, it can be regarded as a dirty bag in a gay movie (although I haven't eaten it yet). The story is particularly simple and routine, but coupled with the rural scenery and the direct display of the life, age, illness and death of various livestock, the human nature and animal nature are touching each other, and the two leading actors are both...
