[This is the first film review of this year, maybe it doesn't have much depth, maybe it lacks logic, but it's the first step. My ability to express is lacking, so let's start to improve from expression! I always felt that I didn't have time to watch movies or read books, but I can't remember where I saw it: Haruki Murakami said that if he was not busy and ran again, he would never run again. I think reading books, watching movies, sports, etc., these are part of life in themselves, instead of having to make a lot of determination to do it, you have to take a whole week and a month to do it alone, so stop making excuses 】 I didn't know it was a movie about the same sex before watching it. Without such a vision of expectation, maybe the feeling will be a little different from watching other same-sex movies. I didn't predict the ending from the perspective of sadness and happiness. Fortunately, the ending was good. The whole family laughed happily in the grass, which reminded me of the scene of Oliver and Elio's family eating in the courtyard every day in "call me by your name". . I thought the movie was mainly about the girl Beth, but I never thought that the protagonist was Uncle Frank. On the way home, Beth asked his uncle a lot of questions and asked him when was the first time. He thought it was inadvertent, but he naturally brought up his uncle's memory. The later narration is to return home to attend the funeral in reality, and Frank The memories are interspersed, and the past is brought out a little bit, and it also explains the reason why Frank's father hates him. It is natural and it seems to be deciphering. The pain of Frank facing Sam's tombstone, the pain of hearing the news of Jack's death over the phone from Ennis in Brokeback Mountain, the pain of Elio's silent tears over the fire when he learned that Oliver was getting married, these three are so different. The latter two are due to the oppression of social customs, and in this film, the 46-year-old Frank has always believed in his heart that Sam's death at the age of 16 was a complicity and that he needs to be responsible. There is a lot to talk about in the movie, and another thing that attracts me is the devotion to Christianity and the Bible in the movie. People think homosexuality is wrong, because God does not allow it, etc. It is not uncommon in the history of literature for writers to be influenced by the Bible, but this movie really made me appreciate the huge influence of religion on people in Western countries.

Uncle Frank quotes

  • Beth: [narrating] He

    [Frank]

    Beth: was the only adult I knew who looked me in the eye; who was curious about what I had to say; and who liked to make me laugh. And in summer of 1969, when I was 14, that was exhilarating.

  • Bruce: I've decided I'm gonna be who I want to be instead of letting other people dictate who I am.

    Beth: Other people or facts, apparently.
