love is a matter of distance

Among the bunch of BL movies I've seen, "The Fifteen Years Old" is one of the few movies that I really want to see a second time. Although it was because of the sunny smile of my adopted son on Weibo that I was attracted to download, it was indeed Goran who attracted me the most—a man who was as gentle as water.

Regarding homosexuality, after "Brokeback Mountain" and a series of BL anime novels, I firmly agree and accept it. It's just that a man falls in love with another man, or just loves men, there is nothing logical, but it goes with the flow. Maybe love the wrong person, but this love is not right or wrong. that is it.

Just like Goran and Sven, Sven used to get married and have children like everyone else, but he couldn't keep his heart and chose to divorce and marry a gay man. They try to be like everyone else, have a home, a yard, friendly neighbors, and even hope to have a child. So they moved to the community, and in the eyes of everyone, they introduced themselves with a smile and wanted to include themselves here. It's just that Rome wasn't built in a day, and everyone's misunderstandings weren't eliminated in a day: the ridicule of naughty children, the uninvited party, the maliciousness hidden behind it like a snake, and they had to laugh and hide the wound.

The child enjoys the greatest wish in life, like the bond of love between two people, carrying the continuation of the love of life. This expectation waits day by day, and is quietly enlarged in preparations again and again, until disappointment and despair.

Fifteen-year-old Patrick lives in an unstable family, with unfriendly relatives, longing for love and always being left outside the walls of his family. Therefore, he is fragile, extreme, desperately eager and extremely afraid of betrayal, and is lonely in his bones.

Goran is such a gentle person, and kindness is the most beautiful quality. Even though he was disappointed with this 15-year-old violent problem child, he couldn't help caring after all. He gently resolved the child's words again and again. He softened Parker's forcedly cold heart, and was gentle and firm like a mother.

In the end, Parker accepted him, accepted their love, and knew that their love was not right or wrong, they were just as ordinary. That's fine, if anyone cares about you, this is heaven.

My favorite is Goran, he gave all his love to Sven, followed him gently and firmly, and loved him hard; he gave all his affection to Parker, and guarded him gently and firmly. Here, I think many people will be moved by him crying and saying "Sven, let's break up", even if he wants to give up the person he loves, he feels that the child is innocent.

So the most touching thing about this movie is not their love, but his kind quality. Kindness is placed on this man, and his figure has the brilliance of motherhood. I think it softens a lot of people.

I really want to meet such a man, with a warm smile, gentle heart, and firmness. As Sven's wife said "you deserve better".

  • Socialchef: [reading] "Sven and Göran Skoogh are hereby exempted from the contract pertaining to the placement of Patrik Eriksson. Patrik Eriksson is to be reinstated at Rönnbo, effective immediately."

  • Patrik Eriksson: There's something about me that triggers bad things.

    Göran Skoogh: Patrik...

    Patrik Eriksson: It's true! It's been that way since Ma died right in front of me.

    Göran Skoogh: [incredulously] Were you there when she died?

    Patrik Eriksson: Me and the dog, they say. She had set out juice and crackers, and then she died. She'd been dead for 24 hours by the time they found us. We ate up all the crackers. Good thing she put out those crackers. They put the dog down, you know. Nobody to take care of it. Nobody to take care of me, either, but they couldn't very well kill me, even if they wanted to.
