This is a film that depicts gays and lesbians facing social neighborhoods, mutual feelings, and the issue of adopting children after marriage. The difference and moving point of this film is that it truly shows the family life after gay marriage. , instead of focusing on gay love stories like other gay films.

In this movie, the first is Goran. I have to say, this image is really well created. Unlike the slightly feminine feelings in the gay movies I watched before, Goran lacks those unpleasant girls. anger, cowardice, incompetence, or the indulgence of many homosexuals to their own lives and sexual desires, but so gentle and considerate, so kind. There is always tender care and tenderness in his eyes. Goran feels like a stream of water. His love for his lover is like water, and in the face of Patrik's stubbornness and dissatisfaction, it can be like water. Tolerance, every movement is so gentle, as if he has a natural maternal brilliance, it is most appropriate to describe this gentle man with gentleness. Goran made it clear that homosexuality does not necessarily make one partner as delicate as a woman. The strength of men, the love of motherhood, the integrity of character, the sense of justice, and the compassion, these personal charms of Goran run through the whole film. When Goran smiled at Seven, his eyes were full of love. This is a man who values ​​love very much and knows how to cherish love, whether it is love with his partner or love towards others.

In the movie, Goran has always hoped to adopt a child, but was always rejected because of his identity as a gay couple. Every time an application for adoption was rejected, Goran's face was full of loss and frustration. At this time, the movie will always give a close-up shot of Goran looking at other people's children enviously. It can be felt that Goran really likes children and really hopes to raise a child. After many adoption applications were rejected, Goran finally found out that he could adopt a one-and-a-half-year-old child (actually 15 years old, the decimal point is wrong...), and he excitedly arranged the baby room, regardless of the neighbors' same vision, pushing the empty The baby stroller is running on the street excitedly, full of maternal love (father love) overflowing.

When Goran finally met the long-awaited Patrick, he realized that it was a 15-year-old child, not the baby he wanted. Although it was difficult to accept this "difficult" 15-year-old boy for a while, Goran also expressed his concern for him. Especially compared to the overreacting Sven, Goran is like a gentle spring, which slows down the tense plot and gives a tight rhythm. Even if Sven strongly objected, Goran was determined to keep Patrick, both because of his own tenderness and because he felt sorry for the child. And when Sven told Goran that he wanted to temporarily end the relationship between the two, the helplessness on Goran's face and the sadness in his eyes made people feel distressed, and distressed for this gentle man who was cheated on by scum Sven. (At the same time, he scolds Sven for being a fool, and cherishes such a good man as Goran.)

I don't want to retell the plot in too much detail, so I can watch the movie with anticipation in the future. But the warm points in the movie are really touching and can not help but laugh:

Patrick and Goran went to buy flowers and planted flowers together; Patrick ran with Goran and wanted to repay Goran's concern for himself in this way; Patrick and Goran were selling goods at the community weekend market, jokingly saying "If you don't have to go, the new one won't work." Come”; Patrick asked Goran to share some wine with him. Goran was reluctant at first, but then quietly poured a little to Patrick. When the two of them toasted, they looked at each other and smiled; these cute points make Wenxin always interspersed in the film , which warms the hearts of moviegoers. The actor who plays this role interprets this gentle man very well, especially the two emotional scenes in the film, which make people feel the depression and sadness in their hearts when they are not understood. When he is not understood by his neighbors, he will be angry and annoyed to destroy the flowers and plants he has worked so hard to grow, but he will soon recover and clean up the garden that has just been destroyed by himself. When he found out that Sven cheated, he kicked the trash can on the side of the road angrily in the rain, but after seeing the strange eyes of passers-by, he straightened the trash can and picked up the trash into the trash again. Throughout the film, these funny and cute or angry outbursts make people feel his kindness and distress and annoyance under extreme pain. This is probably one of my favorite gay characters in many gay movies I've seen. Strong and independent yet gentle and kind.


Patrick's character creation is also quite good. At the beginning, he gave a naughty impression, and even had a bad record of stealing and violence. Later, as the plot progressed, he knew that this boy who seemed unreasonable and unreasonable turned out to be He is very good at gardening, knows how to sell products, and is sincere and down-to-earth. Fortunately, Patrick met the gentle Goran, who discovered his past that was covered up by his bad past. For such children, they often imagine how they will treat them when they encounter them in the future. I hope that when I meet such children in the future, I can also treat them sincerely and warm them with my own concern, instead of being deliberately hostile or isolated under the inherent prejudice.

Sven, I have nothing to say, I was disappointed with this man who cheated on him, but fortunately, at the end of the movie, he knew how to seize the opportunity to be with Goran again.

In this film, the emotional crisis between Sven and Patrick is resolved, and Patrick stays by their side. There is really only one dog missing in the story. I hope that in the future, gay families will also be generally accepted and treated normally, as Goran said when answering the little boy's question about what "glass" is: "Glass is a boy who falls in love with a boy." Homosexuality itself is no different , "I just fell in love with a person of the same gender as me." Sven

's ex-wife, who had a funny scene in the movie, was
very disappointed and asked Goran, "Is there someone out there?"
Goran answered hesitantly. , The ex-wife who looked at it said: "It shouldn't be..."
Sven's ex-wife sighed slightly, and said with a little complaint: "You are much luckier than me, he cheated on me for six months."
After Goran listened, Surprised, he said angrily, "Who is it?" Sven
's ex-wife gave a helpless glance and said, "It's you bastard!"
smiling.


Although it is a very short clip, it also interestingly shows the thoughts and attitudes of some women towards homosexuality.
It's a good movie and worth watching.
