Mum, I love you. I am a gay.”

I have seen the movie many times. My two favorite moments.

The first is that Wil and Vivian looked at each other through the iron net, their fingers lightly touched each other, their eyes were full of love, very strong.

Another scene is when Wil said behind Chen Chong, "Mum, I love you. I am a gay."

I didn't have the courage to say that to my mother, at least not now.
Friends say that happiness must be a sad thing if it cannot be shared with others. (laughs) Yeah, but some things are just so awkward, to pick one, you have to do your best to avoid the other. But at least, I can be happy with others.

But....

I still said in a small voice in my heart: "Mom, I like women..."

That voice... It's really small.

    Group play is wonderful

    The ending is very bright, too bright to be a little unreal.
