The plot of "God Bless Bobby" can be said to be very simple, and it is the sincere feelings that touches people's hearts. Bobby, a young man who has always been a good child in the eyes of his parents, is handsome in appearance, kind in heart, and he is positive. Live until I find that I am more interested in men than women. It was the 1980s, and he was in a family that was devoted to the Lord. His mother's attitude towards homosexuality was regarded as an evil that would be severely punished by God. Bobby's panic shows his simplicity and cherishment of family. How can he accept that he is becoming a villain under the concept of a mother, and how can he endure the expectation of going to hell. The relationship between Bobby and his mother is deep, and the love of this family is full of tolerance. Therefore, when Bobby’s homosexuality was exposed, we did not see the crude self-blame and condemnation imposed by the family, but a kind of "Treatment", a kind of loving "care", I hope Bobby can be a "good boy" again.
The greatest tragedy in the world is no more kind injury, and no more painful wound than the sharp edge of love. In this film, I can hardly blame Bobby's parents. They are full of affectionate care for Bobby. The religious concepts they have received since childhood make me feel that their thoughts about homosexuality seem ridiculous, but they are excusable. If we face violence, we can still roar and vent our distress, while facing family affection, Bobby can only become more distressed. Fortunately, he finally got to know himself, realized that there is nothing wrong with loving a man, and discovered his inner self. He can finally maintain his innocence and kindness and enjoy the joy of life. Unfortunately, he knew himself, but his mother did not know him. When he already had a boyfriend and lived happily with each other, he could not get rid of the distress caused by the lack of family affection. Finally, from the sky bridge, he Jump down and become a passerby in life prematurely. And after he died, what he had to face was that his mother stood by at the church funeral, allowing the pastor to criticize him for his "crime."
Knowing himself, Bobby reached this point, but paid a heavy price under the prejudice of society, but finally began to awaken his mother to know him and to know himself. The mother finally realized what she really loved. Reading the diary left by Bobby, she understood that she loved a lovely son. This maternal love transcends religion and prejudice, and should not be the sex of the son. Distorted in orientation. God loves you as you are, and mother loves her most authentic children. This love cannot be hurt by gossip, let alone blasphemy by holding high the banner of religion. The mother is tormented between her devotion to God and love to her son, thinking that her son may be tortured in hell, how can she sleep? Religious people told her that homosexuality would go to hell, and suicide would go to hell. Ironically, it was the curse of homosexuality that caused a child to commit suicide. This is how absurd. Prejudice causes endless harm in the world, both to those who bear prejudice, and to those who apply prejudice. For example, when countless homosexuals dare not come out because of pressure, and suppress their own orientation to marry the opposite sex, it also creates a repressive family. , Hurt the unfortunate opposite sex, and even cause more profound emotional damage. Bobby's mother wanted to seek the truth, and the enlightened members of the clergy and the mutual aid group of gay parents gave her strength. It turned out that so many people had been lost and allowed their prejudice to destroy their love for their children. Isn’t it a kind of happiness to watch children live happily in their true self?
The mother's speech in the discussion on the topic of "Gay Freedom Day" permeated a mother's blood and tears of reflection, which was sincere and touching. "I hate myself for not knowing more about gays and lesbians. Now I know that all my predecessors taught and indoctrinated are intolerant and distorted human slander. If I can do more investigations, if I am willing to listen to my son's voice, I am today I won’t stand here, looking at you, full of regret!” Although this issue failed to pass, my mother resolutely participated in gay rights activities. Not only she, but more people gathered together. It left a beautiful ending to this touching movie. At the gay parade, so many people marched in the rainbow torrent. They knew their true nature and led more people to know themselves, including anti-gay people. Know your own prejudices and get a new life like Bobby's mother.
The performances of both mother and son in this film are wonderful. The son brings the melancholy temperament in the sunshine, especially the struggle between family love and the real self, and presents a true performance. And Sigourney Weaver, who has been imprinted as a strong woman since the "Alien Series", presented a very delicate performance. A mother's love and hatred, weakness and strength became the most touching and moving force of this film.
