After being criticized and hurt, I still choose to wait for you

After watching this movie, what impressed me the most was the almost blank ending at the end of the film. The ending song "Hope" chosen at the end is what moved me the most in the whole movie, not only because it expresses the true portrayal of Franky's heart, but also because it expresses Franky's brave love. I extracted the lyrics of the ending song, hoping to learn about the movie again from this lyrics, and again to understand the relationship between Franky and Ballas. lost in the sun airway facing bright colors remembering your face lost in the sun airway searching for hope in outer space you got me once I'm waiting I'm waiting for you to give me a sign to give me a light now I'm here pretending that I'll do the best to keep you warm, stronger Franky and Ballas were originally good friends, and each had their own girlfriends. After Franky's birthday party, the two went to bed together under the influence of alcohol, and something happened that two straight men would not normally do. In fact, as far as this matter is concerned, as Franky's mother said later, if it is only the result of adolescent sexual impulse, and the two people were both drunk at the time, it is understandable and not a big deal. But it was in this incident that both Franky and Ballas found that they had different feelings for each other, and neither of them had the courage to face this incident, and a series of things happened afterwards. Homophobia is a common manifestation of people in the deep cabinet. They do not want others to know their homosexuality, so they deliberately show exclusion and even hostility towards homosexuality. Ballas in this movie is just such a person. After the incident, Ballas told his girlfriend about the incident and tried to separate himself from him. Then the incident spread on campus. Franky was isolated by his classmates, rejected by his teammates, and even hurt by others. Franky's father is also gay, and he chose to come out after he married his mother. It may be because he felt the harm his father brought to the family. At first, Franky was always reluctant to communicate with his father, and he was unwilling to face his homosexuality. The appearance of Ballas' sister Natasha gave Franky a bit of comfort to the isolated Franky. In my opinion, the two of them didn't really love each other, it was more of a kind of spiritual comfort and encouragement to each other. Because Natasha is also the object of isolation by her classmates, she can have a deeper understanding of Franky's situation, and she is Ballas' younger sister, knowing Ballas' character, and knowing that this matter is not Franky's fault. She made Franky feel happy when he was in a trough, and became Franky's sincere friend. (The episodes that appeared in the movie, except for the ending song, were inserted when Franky and Natasha were together, which shows how much comfort and encouragement Natasha brought to Franky.) The appearance of the tomboy Mouse also helped Franky face himself to a certain extent. . And because Franky and Natasha were so close, Ballas didn't know what happened to the two of them. Worried that Natasha would be used by Franky, he beat Franky severely while drinking. But perhaps it was this fight, and it was when Franky was already helpless and there was nothing to be afraid of losing. He understood that just withdrawing blindly would not solve the relationship between the two of them. He went to his father’s house. After a conversation with his father, his father told him to stick to what he loved and not to care about what kind of label he would be labeled. In other words, don’t care about the eyes of others and pursue bravely. What he loves, and Franky also discovered in the conversation with his father that Ballas is the person he really loves. He began to face his feelings for Ballas and bravely expressed to Ballas-and he took it back. The bicycle, the "love you forever" necklace, and the flare gun that Ballas gave him...

At the end of the film, Franky is riding a bicycle on the street alone, and the ending song gradually enters. From the lyrics of the ending song, you can get a glimpse of Franky's inner feelings: I remember the way you look, remember the joy we used to, I don't want to spend it in drowsiness, I want to find hope. We have had a past, we have loved each other, in that case, I am willing to wait for you, wait for you to give me a hint, wait for you to give me a chance. Now that I am here, I am willing to warm you with my love and give you the courage to be with me. Having experienced criticism and injury, I will only be stronger and braver.

Finally, I saw someone in the discussion area asked about the soundtrack of this movie. The songs in this movie are all quoted. There may not be an original soundtrack album on major music platforms. So here you can share the songs that appear in the movie. It can be found on the music platform.

    The setting of the script is very heart-wrenching, and I don't understand the world of homophobia, but everyone has the experience of being betrayed and excluded by friends. The director knows how to use images to accurately express the psychological activities of characters, and he feels that he has borrowed a lot from "Brokeback Mountain". But unfortunately, it is still just a standard Hollywood collective work in general, and the scale is too safe and not extreme enough.

    The biggest obstacle in a film about bisexuality (or not) is that I still don't understand the characters in the film (especially the male second), so I am naturally less touched by this youthful story. The soundtrack was too full and the turning point was a little harder. Although it reversed the routine, it still fell into another kind of stereotype in the end. Two and a half stars.
