What is love.

I love you, Morris.
Is it a bit heavy?
Not exclusive but definitely not like it, love between comrades.
It seems that if you keep watching, the plot is just like that, a little boring.
But I still kept my temper and read it.

It's very dramatic, the male protagonist Steven begins to admit and pursue the life he wants after being in a car accident to the gate of hell.
Death gave him the courage to admit that he was GAY, gave him the courage to find his lover, gave him the courage to forget the sadness of being abandoned by his biological mother, and gave him the courage to do everything he had never done before.
Although he felt that it was selfish to a certain extent for him to have the courage, he could not find any reason to criticize him.
He just wants to stay true to his heart and live the life he wants, so what's wrong.

Because of extravagant gay love, Steven had to cheat to get money, and even went to jail.
In prison, he meets Phillip.
To be honest, watching S show love to P, pursue him, and get together, I don't like it very much.
In my opinion, how can that be considered love, at best it is a new round of hunting.
But who knows, until the end, you never know what the truth is.

Through various shortcuts, S gets out of prison and manages to fish out P.
Then came the more decent and bigger scams.
And then there's going to be jail time, jailbreak, jail time.
To make matters worse, P knows that S lied to him, and won't forgive or even believe what he said he loves him.
Could everything get worse than this?

I have to say that S is a genius at cheating.
He could have gotten away with it and lived a leisurely life, but he liked P deeply.
He finally had a moment of complete failure.
In order to bail P, things come to light, the Texas government and George. The Bush administration suffered disgrace, and S was sentenced to an unprecedented life sentence.
Sometimes I think, if it wasn't for love, there would be many, many people, and they would have a good life.

It was not until the end of the movie, when P was released from prison, that S was locked up for 23 hours a day, that I was a little disappointed.
What is love?
Maybe I have the courage to block a knife for you at a critical moment, maybe if you die, I won't live alone, maybe no matter what you do, I will never leave you and take care of you for a lifetime, but I may not have the courage to save you after being killed by myself I will never see you again in isolation and loneliness.
So, my love is still selfish after all.
In my love, I still need you to support it.

However, the film is based on Russell's biography "I Love You Morris: A True Story of Life, Love, and Prison Break" written by San Francisco Chronicle columnist Steve McVicker.
So, the love in the movie still exists.
It's just possible, it will be puzzled by people, and it will be called a perverted love.

    The legendary life of a gay man. Those thrills are so understated as ordinary, leaving only crystal clear love and overflowing entertainment. Luc Besson's Europa is too Hollywood.

    Turning a tragedy into a comedy sucks. The last shot is absolutely unnecessary.

I Love You Phillip Morris quotes

  • Phillip Morris: You fucker!

    Steven Russell: I know. I'm sorry. You weren't supposed to find out.

    Phillip Morris: Well, I did.

    Steven Russell: I couldn't take a chance telling you. You know that. I couldn't. But, Phillip, I only did it just so I could get here to you. I did it so I could talk again. And here I am.

    Phillip Morris: You're so skinny.

    Steven Russell: I'm fine. Just hungry.

    Phillip Morris: Steven, I don't...

    Steven Russell: Wait, listen. I just came here to tell you one thing, and that's it. You don't have to take me back. I just want to say one thing. I know you think that we were nothing but a lie, but underneath all those lies, there was always something that was real. I thought about what you said to me. You said you don't know who I am, but I know now. I know who I am. I'm not a lawyer, I'm not a CFO, I'm not a cop, I'm not some kind of escape artist. Those Steven Russells are dead. Now all that's left is the man that loves you. And if you could see that, believe it, I promise I'll never be anything else ever again.

    Phillip Morris: How do I know you're not bullshitting me again?

    Steven Russell: You don't.

  • Phillip Morris: [Over the phone, to Steve] I'm still angry with you, but there's something I-I-I want you to know. Even if sometimes I don't know who you are... I love you. I never stopped loving you. I guess you and me are just fools for love or something - 'written in the stars' or some crap like that - but it was never better than with you, Steve. Never more real. And now I realize all that crazy shit you did in your own fucked up way was always for me, always for us. You're the most amazing man. You take my breath away. And even though I can't be with you right now, I'll always be yours... forever.
