On Saturday afternoon, I clicked on this film alone, and it was quite interesting to see the chemistry between two boys with completely different personalities colliding in a weekend. I think one of Glen's ideas is worth exploring. He said that after staying with a group of friends for a long time, the relationship between the two sides will become as indestructible as cement, but it is this strong emotional connection that makes it difficult for him to have another Life seems to be trapped in a set character, which is very unpleasant to him, so he wants to escape from this place that prevents him from reinventing himself. I thought about it seriously, in fact, real friends can improve each other, they can tolerate your strange little hobbies and can accompany you to become a better person. Glen told Russell that he don'tdoboyfriends, it was because he was hurt and loved by someone he loved deeply. Since then, he has become more desperate. He is debauched and radical. He wanders in other cities for freedom and ideals, but he is still running away , he did not really let go of this relationship. And Russell is a little boy hiding in a closet. He is eager to see the sunshine from the outside world but is afraid of being looked down upon by others. He thinks that coming out to his parents is like a baptism of adulthood, and he can be as brave as Glen. If you can live a dazzling life, you don't have to pretend to be far-fetched. So Glen said he could pretend to be a father once and have Russell come out to him as a "dad". Childish though he did, Glen told him, it doesn't matter, loveneverchanges. Although Russell didn't keep Glen in the end, he finally plucked up the courage to kiss him in the sun. The vicious words and contempt of others could no longer hurt him, and he finally became himself.

    Sure enough, the film's shots and viewpoints are always focused on one person, in line with the hidden attributes of comradeship. Aside from the surrounding environment and inner feelings displayed by the gender theme, this person can be interpreted in the world, with himself as a companion, and with all things that are in love with others. The most quintessential part of the short-lived pleasures of the weekend is the end in the title, and it's not just the tape. Director Hager's video of the first public screening in China is full of sincerity. After nine years, it would be better to make a sequel to the series like Love.
