Such a beautiful and delicate opening is a bit unexpected from a novice director, but he is no one else, he is Tom Ford, so everything is logical. So when Geo woke up from a nightmare, it wasn't a distorted face, although Colin's superb performance clearly spoke of his boundless despair.
Jim has been gone for 8 months, Geo is alive like a walking corpse, this is an ordinary eight months and one day, he has made a major decision, he, he is going to follow Jim. He was relieved by the decision. Eight months ago, on a rainy night, I received a call from Jim's family and learned the bad news. When he resisted his sadness and started to book a plane ticket to send his lover off for the last ride, there was an echo from the microphone that "only family members can participate". You are not welcome. He was paralyzed on the sofa, tears streaming down his face. His 16-year relationship can be so insignificant in the eyes of others. But after tonight, no one can separate them, no one can. They will be together forever. The song in his ears: "Way up high or down low, I'll go wherever you will go." So firm, so determined, that's how he loves him.
The shuddering film has only one warm picture, and the temperature in just a few minutes is enough to resist 100 minutes of freezing. Geo and Jim were sitting on both sides of the sofa, one dog was slouching at their feet, the other was lying under the sofa, they each looked at the book that the other sneered at, and neither wanted to get up and change a book. CD, shirk each other. I was in a trance. It seemed that it was not Geo and Jim, but Tom and Richard. They were both old and young. They knew each other through drinking. They also had two identical dogs. There must be countless similar nights. Said: "What could be better than this? Tucked up here with you. If I died right now it could be OK." Such pure happiness means dying immediately, and you can rest your eyes. Who said it wasn't, my memory stopped at this picture.
Jim kisses the corner of Geo's slightly raised mouth. I think I might be laughing too.
And you, can you die without regret?
