(Useless feeling, pure vent :P) Reality is better than everything

What if one day your boyfriend/girlfriend told you, "I want to change, but I still love you."
What would you do?
"Fuck!" I guess that's the only reaction I can make.

We were never truly free, we were bound by society, race, gender all the time.
Living out of oneself is nonsense.

Lawrence wants to make a "revolution".

In a more closed society at the time, he had to live out himself, he had
to change his gender
and change the society's definition of love (to be honest, I can't tell if it was GL's BG),
so that his true side surfaced.


The success of each revolution has to trample countless corpses.
Her girlfriend has undoubtedly become one of the corpses of this revolution.
The sudden revolution of the "boyfriend"
(although it can satisfy her sexual desire, but...)
the heroine suffers from various pressures, society, family.... (With GL fixed BG, I believe the heroine can't tell the difference)
Finally,
Of course they broke up....
The male protagonist can give her passion and romance, but what the female protagonist ultimately wants is a stable and down-to-earth life.


One wants to get the ideal, the other wants to get the reality,

all of which have become a gap that cannot be connected with each other.

PS
1. I believe that the male protagonist's beauty will definitely have Zhuoyue's achievements in the BL world!......
2. In fact, the male protagonist should be called the female protagonist, and the female protagonist should be called the female protagonist 2(?)

    It's already the best film in Dolan's narrative. I think this rhythm is just right. It fits the feeling of sadomasochism. It has bright colors and is more torture, isn't it? The key to love is to be loyal to yourself.

    Love has nothing to do with gender. It's not easy to shoot a very vulgar subject matter to this point, but this film is still too long, the key is that it does not seem to have a complete character in such a long film. Finding that Dolan edited it himself, I sincerely hope that his next film can be hired by someone to help him. . .

Laurence Anyways quotes

  • Laurence Alia: So... will you still love me?

    Julienne Alia: Are you becoming a woman or an idiot?

  • [last lines]

    [English subtitled version]

    Laurence Alia: [showing her a metal pin] Excuse me, miss. This may sound a little stupid, but... the guys over there made this. If you take it, I'll get $20.

    Fred Bellair: [taking and looking at the pin] What is it? Some kind of cloud?

    Laurence Alia: [laughing under his breath] No, it's a butterfly. But the fact you think it's a cloud minimizes my pleasure.

    Fred Bellair: You just made twenty bucks.

    Laurence Alia: Okay, here's the deal. $10 for gas, and $10 to buy you a drink after wrap. Hm? Deal?

    Fred Bellair: [thinking about it for a few seconds before offering her hand to shake] Fred Bellair.

    Laurence Alia: [shaking her hand] Laurence Alia.

    Fred Bellair: Laurence who?

    Laurence Alia: Alia. But... it's Laurence, anyways.
