If you're not gay, I want you to watch this movie; if you're gay, I definitely recommend you watch this movie. If you're young and your life is the brightest on the color spectrum, maybe you don't understand how it can be Many people call it "ALL TIME FAVORITE GAY MOVIE"; if you are lost and wandering, maybe this story will allow you to hear the guidance of your heart and re-examine everything around you.
THOMAS BEZUCHA, who is a director/screenwriter, said he The comrades he portrays are live people in life, who can be of different ages, races, and body types. And the story doesn't just revolve around the world of young people's sexuality. So, he took the New York-based modern painter HENRY back to MONTANA The small town "BIG EDEN".

But the people there have only a simple life philosophy "I hope everyone lives a happy life..." Is this the real meaning of film art? This simple and warm story may not need any AGENDA, to put the heavy Forget it for a while, just live a simple life of fishing, animal husbandry and farming, and knowing the innocence of love may really allow us to find the way back to the Taoyuan.
