It started with a one-night stand, but it didn't end overnight. The two protagonists meet in a bar, and the next scene is when they drink coffee and talk about sex after a passionate night. One is quiet and introverted, he is always used to being late for parties, and is accustomed to using words to record his every amorous encounter; the other is outgoing and lively, always talking freely and arguing with straight men when going to a heterosexual bar. Passionate will use tape to record each other's words.

In the movie, there are three backs looking down from the room and leaving, but the three backs reflect different moods. It also represents the relationship between the two people. The first time was the joy after a night of passion. The second time was the hesitation after telling the other party to go to the United States, and the third time was to go to the United States, unconsciously nostalgic and reluctantly stopping to look back.

After a one-night stand, holding two bottles of soda and waiting for the other party to turn on the bicycle, the kind of awkwardness, the long talk after returning home, the indulgence, the two souls are constantly approaching and embracing in the process of constant collision, when again When saying goodbye, the panic, embarrassment, and unease tell the other party that he is about to go to the United States, invite the other party to a party, and knock on the door after leaving.

He took out his collection of new nike shoes and went to his departure party, where he once again showed the other party's kind of chatty. The two sneaked out of the party, and when they got home, he wasn't as aggressive in front of others.

This is not only about the relationship between two people, but also involves self-identification. There are always voices of discrimination against comrades in the outside world, but the self-identification has been realized step by step, starting from the beginning of facing the insults of "fagoot" downstairs They will be afraid that the other party will throw bricks into the house on the 15th floor, and when they say goodbye at the station, they will kiss in public and face the discrimination of others bravely.

The scene of the platform parting in the film makes people feel so empathetic, so love does not make a difference because of gender.

    Two days of passion will also appear slow in the movie. The most memorable conversation was about gay couples and Russell coming out with Glen as a father.

    The two people love each other from meeting to separation, and the shots are quite real. I really like Glen's character. 【E6pngz08 ©QAF】
