People who love each other can't be together again. At the end of the film, Nemo sits alone on the yacht and looks up into the distance. In his heart, he must hold the hope of seeing Roy when he arrives.
From the perspective of God, we know that Roy may no longer be able to fulfill his promise. In order to help Nemo, he and Nemo exchanged coats and were caught, and also faced possible long imprisonment.
I shed tears unconsciously after seeing the last scene, too much helplessness and powerlessness, and even if it is the ending of the movie, even if it is already very sad, but thinking about their possible future, I think there are too many dark possibilities. Will appear.
Dark light, what does a little light in the dark mean? I think it is the true feelings flowing between them, a little hope in life.
It suddenly occurred to me that reality is far more cruel than movies, and how precious peace is.
Would like to know their follow-up story. I am looking forward to a fairy tale ending, but this is the reality. There are too many criticisms in the relationship between Roy and Nemo. The condemnation brought about by conflicts of race, ethnicity, beliefs, culture, politics, prejudice, etc. is too real.
There are also many background metaphors that I can’t have a deeper understanding because I don’t understand it. It’s a pity.
The story is not just the love story of two young handsome guys. Common themes such as self-identification, coming out of the closet, and equal rights in LGBT movies also have metaphors. The social background of "opposing background" makes the conflict more straightforward.
Nemo asked Roy "Does this make sense?"
Is love in this context meaningful? Does it make sense to love each other when it is destined to be unsuccessful and doomed to be difficult and fruitless?
There is no answer.
Deathly romantic warmth is a bit of light in the dark night. When the dawn comes, wait for a chance to meet again.
Such love may be difficult, but love itself is salvation, it is the light of darkness.
Supplement: The tender moments in the film are too beautiful. The tolerance, understanding, and support between the two are in sharp contrast with reality. Dark light, a little light in the cruel reality, a faint but real existence.
