Indeed, in movies, people often talk about sex. He would talk at the dinner table, in front of children, and when he was joking. Maybe it's a cultural difference - in China, the topic of sex is secretive and taboo, and it feels a little strange to talk about it like this. So, of course, sex is not the point. So the focus here is on the audience, this movie will disappoint you.
So, what is this film about to stand out? is love.
Undoubtedly, the love between the brothers Francisco and Thomas from childhood, gradually transformed into the love between true lovers, is the main line of the film. From the first time the brothers met each other's eyes after Thomas was born, to when Francisco was injured, Thomas said he would take care of his brother and grow up to be a doctor; from when Francisco hugged his brother to sleep, to when his father reprimanded Thomas, his brother said that he would always love his brother ...these details are all touching. The most beautiful, of course, is the scene in the poster. Francesco and Thomas faced each other, took off the clothes between them one by one, and walked slowly towards each other, step by step, with those firm eyes that seemed to say, "Forever!" At the end of the film, Francisco is no match for the yearning for his younger brother. After flying thousands of miles from Brazil to Russia, he knocked on his brother's door - it seemed like the best ending.
But it wasn't just the two brothers that I noticed. And their parents.
The first is the love of their parents for them. Every time the mother appeared, in addition to her beauty, she also worried about the brothers. As a sensitive and sensitive mother, she noticed the unusual bond between brothers early on. However, she gave them the right to choose. She told the still ignorant Francisco that when he is confused, don't be ashamed, she will always wait for him to talk. Yes, parents all over the world are like this! Children are their favorite, and they are willing to be a haven for children to rest forever. But we also see old fathers complaining to their children. Now that you have time to go to the party, why not have a cup of tea and chat with your parents? Parents have given us all their love, and it is not an exaggeration for us to give part of our love to our parents! Although parents sometimes don't say anything, don't we, as children, guess the thoughts of the elderly?
The second is the relationship between husband and wife. This is the part I'm most puzzled by the film. Divorced couples can happily get together to talk heart-to-heart, and they and their ex-husbands and husbands can also chat and laugh at a table for dinner. Of course, the film did not explain this aspect, so some people like me who do not understand Latin American culture and do not know the background of the film can only force themselves to accept == in doubt!
However, the overall feeling is that the movie has no climax, and the plot ended for no apparent reason. In a hurry, I finished watching this "Brother Lover" in the afternoon of the third year of high school winter vacation when I wanted to sleep with a cold and headache. Hope my impatience didn't ruin it.
