      I see crying because I feel the same way too

      Never doubted that I was bisexual, but wondered if I had the courage to marry with the same sex. So I was never satisfied, always wanted to explore other options, and finally lost the girl I loved deeply.
      It turns out that the society and the family can finally accept us, but our own cowardice and greed have gradually disintegrated our trust.
      Even confess "I am confused." "I don't want secrets anymore!"
      still can't forgive. "How could you?" "You use me."...

      Margarita with straw

      The title is good. Margaret represents the fashionable lifestyle that young men and women yearn for, while wearing a straw is a metaphor for the female protagonist, Laila, who is destined to not be able to enjoy a normal life like a normal person because of her disability. But her strong and optimistic character, smart, hard-working and talented at the same time, with the support of her family who loved her, she came to the relatively more open America to pursue a freer life, where she...

      How many people do you have to meet to find yourself

      It's amazing. When I watched this movie, what I compared in my mind was not other same-sex themed or romantic movies, but the Korean movie "The King" that I saw a few days ago. Probably because the protagonist of "The King" also encountered many different talents to find his position in the workplace, just like what the protagonist of this film encountered on the road of love. But Laila's story is even more emotional.
        Because the translation of station B is the love of a girl with...

      I only have more straws than you

      There is an unwritten rule in Chinese talent shows that the director must find the story points of the contestants. It is best to have a tragic background or a disabled body, so as to gain the sympathy and favor of the audience, so that they can enter the contest. Higher-level competitions even won championships.
             But Laila in India had no such idea. Lyra is a young girl with polio, a top student at Delhi University, and has a very good literary talent. In a competition, when she...

      Or paint the ground as a prison, or break out of the cocoon and be reborn

      A lake-blue minivan drove by slowly, and in stark contrast to the crowded and noisy environment around, there was a satisfied smile on the girl's face. She stuck her head out of the car window and felt the wind blowing across her face. The difference between Margarita and other girls of the same age was not revealed until the car stopped and the disabled-only exit door slowly opened.

      Margarita...

      I didn't want to download it because I liked Indian movies. I thought it was a bowl of thick chicken soup, but unexpectedly it was a mellow margarita. The girl's clues actually feel very harmonious, like Xiao Hei, cheerful, warm and considerate. My favorite scene is the doting smile after hearing the voice of the heroine putting the bowl back. The mother-daughter relationship is full of touching, and the ending with my date is well handled. Indian films say goodbye to singing and dancing, and I...

      Although the film is about self-confidence, self-knowledge, self-reliance and self-reliance. But I only have one feeling after reading it: let's all go fall in love! Find a gentle, lovely and kind girl to explore the city together! what! Talk about a world full of love! ! ! what! !...
