The town in the film is an ideal paradise, with forests, lakes, snow-capped mountains in the distance, cabins, and most importantly, a group of friendly and gossip neighbors.

What impressed me was the old lady Thayer , The conversation goes on and on, and he is extremely fond of matchmaking. At first, he introduced new girls to Henry with an attitude that could not be refused. Later, when he found out that he was gay, he immediately took him to a party to introduce him to a new boyfriend...
and Dexter A group of nonsensical gossip old men in the store are also very interesting. They live a leisurely and dull life every day, and spare no effort to help Pike pursue his crush Henry...
Henry also has a straight boyfriend who has been entangled for many years. It is really entangled. The
whole The structure is a simple triangular relationship.

Eden represents an ideal life, where people live in harmony, intimacy, tolerance and generosity, and life is always full of warmth and joy. And New York represents a life that is prosperous on the surface and empty inside. In Henry said to Grace when he was going back to NY, where I have a nice apartment, I can make a lot of money, I can go to a restaurant I like...Grace asked: You left just to go to a restaurant?

Not much Spoiler.

Recently I was watching a drama called Everwood [Snow Mountain Town]. I feel that the two are very similar. Ditched New York for what they thought was the ideal place.

  • Grace Cornwell: Listen, you know what they say when you get lost in the woods? If you stay put, stay in one place and don't wander, they'll find you. And I was just hoping you'd let yourself be found this time. I was hoping you'd let us find you. But you keep wandering and we can't.

  • Pike Dexter: I just want things to be nice for him. I know it's foolish, but I just want things to be nice for him.
