same-sex love

At first, I watched this drama just for the beauty of the peacock, but after watching it, it was a bit square. The role played by Peacock, from his handsome appearance to withering and dying, really touched my heart. He is really a very dedicated and excellent actor, although he is so handsome that he often makes people play.

The film tells the story of a gay man, a group of gay men, and of course AIDS throughout. To be honest, I don't like the role played by the Hulk. It's too extreme, too violent, and too strong. Of course, if everyone is like this, it's not bad. Face to face, dare to do, dare to speak, the world will be much simpler. But it's not like that, there are so many hypocritical people and things, and his recklessness will only make things worse. Of course, I admire his courage, struggle, uncompromising, and perseverance, but he is not recognized and even rejected by his own circle. I can only say that this is a tragic hero.

There are four episodes in the play that left a deep impression on me. The first is that when AIDS spread to death, Ned organized a gay party under the urging of doctor Emma, ​​and listened to Emma talk about what AIDS is and how to prevent it. When Emma said it might be spread through sex, almost everyone was in a frenzy, people clamored that sex has been liberated, what's the point of our life without sex, and raised all kinds of questions to the doctor, causing Emma to leave directly . Xie Er Duo reluctantly sighed that most of the people here are just looking for someone to go to bed. It is true that sex is liberated, and the relationship must end from the same. Of course, this situation is the best, but the relationship has changed, no longer love, betrayed, and there is no need to worry about it for a lifetime. It’s okay to let it go. Sex is the first It doesn't matter one person or the other, as long as you're not promiscuous, you're sincere to every relationship, and you're worthy of your conscience, that's enough. It just seems that many people's understanding is to stimulate happiness and have fun, so many people don't like gays, maybe it's because of their bad impression of promiscuity and group sex. If you really love someone, you must love first and then have sex. Just like Ned and Felix, if he only has sex, then he has AIDS, and he should abandon him immediately, but no, he accompanies him to take care of him until he dies. What can I say, there is no difference between same-sex love and opposite-sex love in the definition and expression of love. Indiscriminate love should also be despised, and true love should also be praised.

The second episode is the death of Bruce's boyfriend. The doctor is reluctant to issue a death certificate. He can only be put in a garbage bag and cleaned up like a garbage. Bruce re-dressed and cremated for his boyfriend. People extort, people will only get down on the ground, and no one sympathizes. The director is trying to express human nature. This seems to be a bit too much. Instead, he doesn't feel the coldness of people's hearts so strongly. Of course, human feelings are as thin as paper.

The third episode is when Ned gets kicked out of his own gay organization. He said that you all take care of yourself, so who will take care of my Felix? That kind of despair and loss is really moving. I really don't like the character of Ned very much, but at this moment, I can only comment on Mr. Lu Xun's words for those people. They are sad and angry. Recognize yourself, how to make others recognize them. They themselves are unsettled and uncertain, how can others easily fulfill your request. At this moment, I hope they are all Ned, fighting their fate to the end for their own power.

The last one is Ned and Felix getting married in the ward. I accept him as the true love of my life. Traditional husbands and wives cannot describe such homosexual love, but what does it matter? True love has no gender, and lover is the most intimate title for our teammates. No matter what happens, no matter what the outcome is, we will try our best, and there will be no regrets. Whether such a ceremony can be recognized or not, it doesn't matter to them, a word of love will tie them together and will no longer separate them.

Compared with Brokeback Mountain, I personally think that it is better. Same-sex or opposite-sex, as long as it is true love, it is great and something to be proud of. The feelings that have passed the test of fate and time are the most shining reflections of life accumulated.
