love

To be honest, I was a little curious when I watched this movie. After watching the entire film, I didn't feel much about the sex therapists and other topics in the film. What impressed me is that after shale's treatment, Mark is full of self-confidence and courage in himself including his body. As the pastor said, love is journey, no matter which way, even if only the head can move, as long as you have enough courage , you can go down with your loved ones.
The whole film has always been carried out in a warm atmosphere. Even SEX, it does not make people feel any wretched and intense, and a lot of naked scenes do not have any yellow meaning, it feels like listening to a spring symphony, Also like the gurgling water of a brook, the director tells the story slowly.
PS: (Actually, I think love and sex are one. Mark was in love with shale at that time, so should shale).

    The love of a disabled person is linked to the most impossible sex. Not only is there no sense of wretchedness at all, but it brings light sadness to the story. There are many naked pictures and religious pictures in the whole film, and there is no sense of violation. This film can be classified as a literary film, but it is a pity that it is far away from such a group, and I feel that my sympathy is greater than others.

    It's so hard to watch a 90-minute movie these days that I'm not used to the straight to the point. / John Hawkes did a great job of Mark waiting for the therapist to come in! / In the next life, I must go to University of California at Berkeley / I learned that not all men can get erections naturally

The Sessions quotes

  • Clerk: Now, come on, what kind of therapist is she?

    Vera: I told you, she's a sex therapist. Today they're working on "simultaneous orgasm".

    Clerk: What's that?

    Bill Hillman - Reporter: Mark O'Brien has been going to UC Berkley since 1978. That's O'Brien in the motorized gurney heading for class last week. He had polio when he was six years old. The disease left his body crippled, but his mind remained sharp and alert. And since he wanted to be a writer, Mark O'Brien entered Cal to major in English and learn his trade. He wrote this poem for us about school here and about graduation.

    Mark O'Brien: Graduation. Today I hear the crowd's applause. Receive the congratulations from my friends. Today I ask if I've found a place among the rest, who studied, read, wrote, and passed the test in cap and gown. Today I hope you see a man upon this stage.
