"Heartfelt Half-Understanding"

Kole 2022-04-23 07:05:17

Why do LGBT films that explore the theme of "love" touch the point? The ones I've watched include "Brokeback Mountain", "Farewell My Concubine", "Adele's Life", "Breakthrough", "Black Swan", "Lawrence", "The Wedding Banquet"...

The story tells that the heroine A helps a boy write a love letter to pursue girl B. With the contact between you, a love triangle is formed (it is complicated anyway). The second half of the story discusses the subtle emotional changes of all parties towards love.

The heroine is an independent, smart, literary, and poor integration girl. She understands what "love" is when she helps boys pursue Girl B, and likes Girl B (observe her, she is always in her head) The two of them are reading Physically, artistically, and spiritually a perfect fit, but not physically.

The boy is very interesting, he likes each other because of his appearance and self-assurance (most people do), so that's all right - why is there a relationship problem? Because they can't "fight" together.

Most people use themselves as a reference to find matching people to "assemble" into a whole. Is there an intersection? Have a common hobby? Can we talk? (It is easy to understand that the three views are the same.) In simple terms, what is love? Go find someone who is very similar to you (you get along best with yourself)

    Such a cute ji film! Youth campus story, the atmosphere is reminiscent of "Love You, Simon". The point is, how did Director Wu grasp the status of Chinese lesbians so accurately? ! Red plaid shirts, T-shirts with autumn coats, don't approach sisters with a face that is strangers, only engage in studies and not you, always wink at girls who are attracted to you, never make an appointment, flirting with girls depends entirely on knowledge, and don't like to meet and chat online. Never send emoji in online chat because it's cool, and every item comes alive! ! Ji Ji jumped off the wall and opened her mouth to ask, "Is this a broadleaf tree?" [This is the kind of LGBT youth film I talked about in the review of "Love You, Simon", and I don't need to be so bitter and filthy, just to make up for the LGBT crowd in the youth campus, which is the easiest Too long "absence" in the genre of movies. 】

    I certified lala nerd love to write emails and letters. It's such a youthful and cute movie. You need your director Wu to pull the film.
