Blue Is the Warmest Color: Never Again in This Life, Nor Possible to Renew

In the drizzle of the evening, I watched Blue Is the Warmest Color, and I felt just like the pervasive "blue" in the film. Both warm and sad, until the final clarity. Then I understood that all unforgettable loves are actually the same: they come rushing towards you with unbelievable magic, heedless of anything else. Before you have time to consider whether you should accept it, it has already begun. The process of falling in love contains unparalleled sweetness and unpredictable bitterness. Say

The most beautiful "girl" on the big screen in 2018

If I had to choose the most unforgettable debut film, I would unhesitatingly blurt out "Girl." I can hardly name another debut that has surpassed the experience "Girl" brought me. This Belgian film, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2018, can be described as a stunning revelation in its aftermath. Not only did media outlets around the world unanimously praise the film, but netizens also jokingly predicted that its young and handsome director, Lukas Dhont, would become the “golden ch

(C) L O S E

Two 13-year-old boys, a close friendship, and an irrevocable loss—this almost sums up the entirety of Belgian director Lukas Dhont's second feature film, "Close." Simple, beautiful, solemn, and enduring. This 31-year-old openly gay director follows his delicately sensitive queer perspective that won him the Cannes Golden Camera for his debut "Girl." With a light and agile touch, he depicts the purest and most pristine attachment between people, yet he mercilessly reveals how fragile and vulnerab

"Clouds of Sils Maria": A Poetic Exploration of Time

The image of clouds has always been multifaceted. Still, the Maloja Snake of Sils Maria, winding through the Swiss Alps, presents an ethereal and ambiguous spectacle. Rare and precious, it evokes deep-seated memories and desires, reflecting the enigmatic love between women. Set against the backdrop of a train journey to a small Swiss town, the film follows the graceful actress Maria as she revisits her role from a play she starred in twenty years ago. Time has changed her; once the wild, untamed

"120 BPM": Love, Sickness, and 120 Beats Per Minute

Choosing between "Call Me by Your Name" and "120 BPM" as the better LGBTQ+ film is a difficult task, but if you ask me which one is more important, I would not hesitate to answer: "120 BPM." It's important because it's an immersive film that makes you feel every beat of its heart. Set in the AIDS era, Robin Campillo doesn't look back with a detached modern eye but brings a sombre passion to the narrative. LGBTQ+ audiences can almost feel the relentless cruelty of the disease, the societal fear,

Monster: A Suspenseful Tale of Queer Love

"At the other end of the white line is hell." "Happiness should be something everyone can have." “Have we reincarnated?” Many commented that “Monster” is the Japanese version of “Close.” As the first Japanese film directed by Hirokazu Koreeda ever since “Shoplifters,” “Monster” finally returns to his previous standard after a 5-year gap. Collaborating with the renowned scriptwriter Yûji Sakamoto, he crafted a suspenseful story unfolding from three perspectives. The perspectives start with the mo

'Happiest Season': A Christmas Cinema, Not A “Straight” One

If it weren't for the strides made in recent years by the LGBTQ rights movement (although some still dismiss it as mere “political correctness”), traditional Christmas movies would likely remain exclusive to heterosexual couples. Often geared towards entertainment and commercial value, these films have inherently carried conservative undertones. Despite the improved quantity and quality of LGBTQ cinema today, Christmas movies dominated by two “lesbian characters” are still a rarity. Fortunately,

The Imitation Game: The Difference Between Man and Machine

In the final twenty minutes of "The Imitation Game," facing the detective in the interrogation room, Turing articulates the drama's central theme: What is the difference between man and machine? The fundamental distinction lies in humans having diverse thoughts, while machines do not. You love strawberries, I detest ice-skating, you enjoy reading, I am allergic to pollen... Turing's words highlight the two most significant themes of his life: his career and his sexual orientation. Turing's life

Great Crime: When Sexual Orientation Becomes a Belief

Section 175 of the German Penal Code criminalized same-sex sexual acts between men; once convicted, the maximum penalty was ten years of imprisonment. From its enactment by the German Empire in 1871 until its abolition by the Federal Republic of Germany in 1994, Section 175 existed for 123 years. During Nazi Germany, Section 175 was revised and interpreted more broadly, applying to all "morally reprehensible acts related to sexual intercourse" - including mutual masturbation. This led to a tenfo

Egoist: Exploring Ethical Dilemmas Unrelated to Sexual Orientation

🌈 HAPPY PRIDE MONTH🏳️‍🌈 Overall, this film is enjoyable. It is not dragging, not overly self-indulgent, and even lacks the drama plotlines that I dislike the most. Instead, it gracefully depicts encounters, transformations, communication, surprises, and the continuation of life, in line with the subdued tone often found in Japanese films. As a gay movie, it even subverts the traditional narrative of sexual minority stories. Sexual orientation is not the main tension driving the entire story.

What Are the Differences between "Green Book" and Real Events?

The most complete background introduction of Green Book. A lot of things happened in the United States in 1962. The space agency achieved the first manned flight around the world. Young people who have just adopted Kerouac's "On the Road" as their road bible will gather at Woodstock to sing "Love and Peace" in no time. There is also a little thing that is not very eye-catching. An upper-class black pianist Don Shirley hired a white Italian driver Tony Lip embarked on the road of the Southern Tou
