Angel never left

Always moved by the obviously very clichéd drama. Sometimes life needs a miracle, isn't it?
The two met under the bright sunshine of Los Angeles, and the missionary Aaron lowered his eyes shyly by the passionate Chris. In fact, you were only a bet of 50 dollars, but why I was at a loss in front of your pure beauty. Chris should have fallen in love with aaron at that moment: He turned the picture album carefully to explain the Mormon doctrine, and answered carefully. Another girl’s question, the phrase “God hates French people” that saved the scene. You are different in my eyes. So I will spy on the window when I talk to you again and see you go to the laundry room with a basket of dirty clothes. The excitement is more than just a bet. When you were homesick, you met me "coincidentally", and the dialogue was tacit, and my heart was sprouting. In the face of love, I am always afraid that I am not good enough: will you think that I am too superficial; and will you find me very boring. The first temptation was eventually messed up by chris's "friends' pleasure". The simple aaron couldn't help but explode, "Is it just your joke the first time I was". Huaxin man finally changed his evil and started to participate in charity food delivery activities, let you know that I am not just a superficial. Faced with this bad boy, the simple aaron was at a loss and put up the thorns all over his body to protect himself, "We are like white and colorful, we will never mix together." He was afraid, afraid that all he had given was just a joke. And under his repeated refusal, chris looked like an aggrieved puppy, and kept asking'why', he was so simple, I have changed for you, why can't you accept me?
At this point, the warm sunshine in Los Angeles no longer exists, and the tone of the film has become black and blue, depressing and undercurrent surging.
When aaron is most vulnerable, I can always meet Chris, maybe this is the secret, maybe it's just a movie. If they didn't meet that night and didn't have the kiss, wouldn't everything happen? Aaron will not be expelled from the church, and successfully complete the two-year missionary mission, and return to his parents to be a good boy forever; and chris, may slowly forget the shy big boy with a warm smile in the flower world, and continue to whirl around. Be a thoroughly bad boy in this kind of affair.
But this fails the beautiful sunshine, doesn't it?
In the end, Aaron was sent home because he violated the doctrine. But the heavy snow that night delayed the plane and bought time for the lovers. Chris flew to the airport and found Aaron standing in the snow, followed by the clichéd bridges, Xueye's confession, and hesitant kisses. Aaron is ready to break with the family and spend a night with Chris in the hotel at the airport. Then came the more clichéd section. Early in the morning, Chris woke up and found that Aaron was missing. He was disappointed in his heart. He turned the yellow pages and made phone calls. All the boys named davis looked it up; and Aaron was there. , Enduring the cold words of the family and the incomprehension of the society, did not think about eating and drinking, only showed a silly smile when he mentioned the name of chris. Mom wants to use "He said that he loves you only because of the 50 yuan bet" to wake up the dreamer, so that his son will no longer be addicted. I never thought that this made the only spiritual pillar supporting aaron fall, and finally chose Ending life.
If the movie comes to an abrupt end, it’s not Hollywood. The director eventually fell into a cliché and gave the audience a consoling ending.
Aaron was rescued and finally found Chris, and the two were happy together.


To be honest, compare I like the first half of the movie. The warm sunshine of Los Angeles and the bizarre Hollywood Sunset Boulevard. Many blockbuster movies can be found in several bridge sections: the night scene at the beginning of the film is like "Leaving Las Vegas". The scenery is beautiful like those little love songs in the Mediterranean... like a green lemon, exuding alluring luster and fragrance in the sun. Just like youth, just like love.

Latter Days quotes

  • Julie Taylor: We're shirts. You're skins.

    Elder Aaron Davis: [pulls down the hem of his shirt blushing] Uh... no.

    Christian Markelli: Fine, we'll be skins.

    [both him and Juile take off their shirts]

    Elder Paul Ryder: [looking at Juile's chest] Whoa!

    [walks into the basketball pole]

    Elder Paul Ryder: Ow!

  • Elder Aaron Davis: [taking care of Christian's cut] This is going to sting a little. Funny, I'm not squeamish. In high school we went to this hospital. I was the only kid who wanted to watch the surgery. So they help me scrub down, and then they gave me a set of scrubs - you know, those green things? To put on and everything... got a Band-Aid?

    [Christian hands him some]

    Elder Aaron Davis: So anyway, I got to watch as they opened this guy's chest. And there it was, this human heart, you know? This human heart. You think about it beating and all, but it's more of a dance. And I couldn't get over that that's all that tethers us to this planet - this one fragile muscle. And how it's so tiny, really, in the big scheme of things. And when you think about all the things that can stop it... Well you just figure that there's got to be something else, something miraculous that keeps that valiant little muscle dancing.
