you won't kill those who love you

The issues discussed in this film go far beyond being a "gay film".
The first shock was when Alexis and Fernado ran into the punk musician on the street, ran up to him and killed him without saying a word. If nothing happened, it seemed inhumane. As Fernado said, he couldn't distinguish between thought and action, and was used to solving all problems with a gun.
However, in the face of a wounded dog, Alexis has a quiver of soul, so that he can not pull the trigger, showing the purest human compassion.
They were so different that they didn't seem to have changed for each other at all. Fernado couldn't stand the loud music and threw down his new speakers; Fernado couldn't fall asleep late at night but Alexis never seemed to be bothered by the world. But deep down they have something in common. Fernado laughs after Alexis pulls out his pistol and blows the TV; no matter what he's talking about, Alexis is always there to laugh softly. Alexis was like this when he appeared, and people had to pay attention to this young man with bright eyes and handsome appearance, who was shaped by this society with a strange outlook on life.
With forty minutes left in the film, Alexis is dead, taking the bullet for Fernado without hesitation and accepting his fate. There is no tragic rendering, and it is as light as his smile. Makes me wonder if it's true... always wondering if he'll suddenly appear in front of Fernado on a street corner laughing, convinced that his death won't be reversed like it does in a fantasy movie, I'm starting to get so depressed: no Alexis What are you going to do with the remaining 40 minutes? ! Then, Wilma appeared.
It's simply a cycle. Wilma wears the same clothes as Alexis, wants a mini Uzi, and says the same thing the first time she enters Fernado's room. Fernado thought of him as A's stand-in at one point, so when he knew it was Wilma who killed A, he decided to avenge A.
"Why did you kill Alexis." "Because he killed my brother."
No one knows when and who started this endless slaughter. It seems that this is the fate of everyone in the society of that era. Kill others and be killed by others. The man who once robbed the car was also headshot by Alexis in an accidental coincidence. Wilma wondered that Fernado had never killed himself when he told Fernado who he was. Wilma said: I will never kill you, I love you. This confession seems to give F the desire to start his life again, and he begins to plan to take him out of here.
But how can Wilma walk away, no one can escape reincarnation. This world, which has been seen through by F, has never spared everyone, and it will not spare F.
You don't kill someone who loves you, so F withdrew the gun and hatred in the face of Wilma's calm eyes.


It's too lonely to live, it's not easy to meet someone who loves you. It's always something that touches his heart, even if his love is just talk.
Love and death, all the stories unfold from here.

    3.5, only to find that I have seen it before. Emotions are very important, but this is not just a gay movie, it also contains culture and politics. The streets of Colombia are full of violence. The old and young people can't see the future. There is a bit of compassion, but unfortunately the whole is a bit scattered.

    I really like the voice and smile of the first boy when he laughs. At first, he didn't think it was very real. Later, whenever Finado spoke, when he laughed, it gave people a very comfortable feeling. After reading the sad atmosphere, only the boy's laughter remained. In fact, the deepest impression was when he smiled at his friend and said "go buy it" in front of the cake shop, which was very touching.
