the normal mind of the past

The film describes the era when homosexuality was not favored. Compared with the base love that is active in various media now, it is really a relatively depressing film. What attracted me to watching this film was not the many stars who participated in the film, but the history it recorded.

In the early years, I was exposed to homosexuality occasionally on the subject of some comics. Those good works that were popular among girls in those years were fortunate to have read a few books, but now the only thing I remember is probably "New York, New York". This is not a very classic work, and the content and characters are almost forgotten, only a few fragments remain in my mind and cannot be erased.

It is undeniable that homosexuality is indeed a relatively deep topic. From the point of view of human development, the desire of primitive mating and reproduction in the early stage of human beings to strive for survival is like the meaning of competing for survival space and pursuit of survival meaning as fish lay millions of eggs. However, with the development of various aspects of human society, reproduction and mating naturally occurs. It becomes less important, and the pleasure brought by the corresponding mating is one of the important reasons for mating. Perhaps this is a path that human development may have to go through, and as a human being, it is impossible to escape the cycle of extremes.

So naturally HOMO may exist in the world with a kind of anti-social superiority, and the power that bursts out after relative repression should not be underestimated. As some of the developments that homosexuality has brought to society, perhaps human beings really need this kind of mutation-like revolution.

Speaking of the film, as a kind of film with a little public welfare cry, "The Normal Heart" is indeed in place, even to the point of being a bit rigid. Every character is just right, and I believe that everyone who has seen the film will have such a resonance.

Finally, I want to say that maybe one day, you and I will be tied to a pillar and burned as a heretic because of heterosexuality. Of course, it is a bit extreme. ^ ^
