      Can't love each other gracefully

      LOVE IS STRANGE, this is a weird name, but it's amazing with this movie.

      Compared to the various loves between people in the film, the year-end homosexuality of the two grandpas is really the most strange love. At the beginning of the film, the wedding party with an overwhelming happiness index makes people feel the illusion of the world. Wow, what a wonderful thing it is to have relatives and friends together! They said the most sincere blessings with the purest love, smiles filled...

      love is precious

      Very plain, simple, and tender about life, although it is the life of American GAY uncles, it reflects rich ordinary feelings, just like the piano background music that I always think of, maybe 20 years together, maybe together 39 years, maybe a relationship is not recognized, maybe life will be different because of a relationship, a different world, different hardships, but the same expectation of happiness and firmness.
              Mutual respect and tolerance is such a simple and common...

      "Displaced Love": From "Ten Years of Love" to Thirty-nine Years of Fetters

      In 1956, the blues group Mickey & Sylvia had a famous R&B hit "Love is Strange". The lyrics wrote "Once you have love, you don't want to leave." The "STRANGE" in the movie "Love is Strange" (2014) (Hong Kong translation: stray love) does not just point to weirdness, but also to strangeness. Of course, the world of love is strange, otherwise, how can there be grudges, break up and get back together? There is a kind of breaking up because of understanding, and some feelings can't be opened. Being...

      Each other

      It doesn't matter whether it is a gay movie or not. After watching it, I thought, when my love and my love are getting old, I suddenly lose a place to depend on! Can it withstand all kinds of tests? Love is strange, love is also very quiet! Love each other silently and quietly! Under all kinds of troubles, under all kinds of tests, they still love each other really, comforting and touching! It’s good enough to talk about each other, but it’s hard enough to say the same! Like it, I hope that...

      Be brave to love

      It is said that this era is the best and the worst. What I don't understand is, what is "Why Shengxiaomo"? What is a "little age"? In any era, there are parts that are popular, and parts that remain unchanged. The popular part will eventually disappear. And the unchanging is still as stable as Mount Tai.
             Such a small movie is about two old comrades. After 39 years of love and companionship, they were finally recognized by the law and obtained a marriage certificate. At this time,...

      "Life has its obstacles, but I've learned early on that they will always be lessened if faced with honesty. I believe the world is a better place if people aren't lying. Love does not delight in injustice, but rejoices with the...

      The warm and long-lasting life is very beautiful, the love between you and me is also very romantic, and the love of each other is even more precious, and as long as you are in the world of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea, you will inevitably encounter unexpected accidents. And troubles, how cruel the reality is, how important money...

    Movie quotes

    • Bartender: Are you guys new in the neighborhood?

      Ben: Are you kidding? There was a famous "sip in" right here in this bar to challenge the New York State regulation that prohibited bars from serving homosexuals.

      Bartender: Yeah, we have a clipping from The New York Times framed here somewhere.

      Ben: 1966. Me and four other guys, we came in here accompanied by five reporters. When we were denied service, we denounced the State Liquor Authority.

      Bartender: Oh my God. You're that guy?

      Ben: Yeah, I was one of the guys.

      Bartender: Wow. Well, this round's on me, fellas.

      [Ben and George start laughing as soon as the bartender leaves]

      George: You are such a liar!

      Ben: What?

      George: You'll do anything for a free drink!

      Ben: Well, I knew the guy who thought it up.

      George: Who, Frank?

      Ben: Yeah. That was his claim to fame.

      George: Oh, I thought his claim to fame was something entirely different.

      Ben: Well, that too.

      [both start laughing even harder]

    • Joey: What the fuck, Vlad?

      Vlad: I'm posing for your uncle's new masterpiece.

      Joey: That's so gay.

      Ben: People have been modeling for painters for centuries now, Joe. All kinds of people.

      Vlad: He doesn't mean homosexual, Uncle Ben. He just means stupid.

    • Ben: What did you think of the Wieniawski?

      George: Not bad. I thought she milked it a bit.

      Ben: You think so?

      George: Well, when the piece is that romantic, there's no need to embellish.

      Ben: Oh. I don't know. I loved it. I kept thinking about him and his beloved Isabella.

      George: Oh yeah? But that's not true. You know that whole "he composed it to convince her parents to let him marry her," it's a myth.

      Ben: I'm not like you. I prefer a little embellishment.
