Recently, something happened that made my heart flutter very much.
My brother told me that he had "come out" with a lot of uncertainty and insecure tone, not sure because he didn't know if I would support him, and the lack of confidence was that he had not yet entered the world and had a strong sense of curiosity about many things.
But in fact, I discovered his secret a few years ago, just waiting for such a day, he can tell me personally, which means that he trusts me, and I will fully support him, and tell him: You are you, no different from others, brave to be yourself.
I've written a lot of "same-sex films" including Morris, Hello, Goodbye, Midsummer Lightyear, Sailors of Foggy Harbor, The Philadelphia Story, matthias and Maxim.
Although there are some friends of same-sex identity around you, when someone close to you tells you the secret hidden in his heart, his heart will still be touched.
Morris
This is still a big "proposition", deep and fascinating for movies, for life, for others.
I still encourage those who are detached from themselves to be brave enough to accept themselves, the words are very large, I am very small, and I can only use a single stroke to motivate those who have not yet accepted themselves.
No matter who you are, live bravely and optimistically to touch your most beautiful soul.
Matthias and Maxim

Usually we watch "same-sex movies", most of them are calm and sad, it seems so more symmetrical that we want to have the mood, but there is a movie that is frank and bold, straightforward and enthusiastic, maybe many people have seen it, maybe you haven't watched it yet, but good movies will always make people fall in love, and when I watch it again, I am still addicted to it.
"I love you, Morris"—
This is the only belief in Steve Russell's heart, which has never changed, for which he deceived everyone in the world, escaped from prison countless times, still kept his hopes, and kept hope for beautiful fantasies, such people, we call "optimistic idealists", or "madmen", a madman living in love.
"I Love You Morris" is not that kind of movie, somewhat melancholy, elusive.
It has anti-genre concocted a same-sex film with strong "fairy tale" and "comedic colors", which can be said to be unique in this genre of films.
After watching more of those "sentimental" gathering and dispersion, watching this film, it definitely makes you refreshed, as if opening up the second pulse of Ren Dou.
Of course, when you see Kim Carey's name, you must think that this is really not a nonsense comedy?
In fact, it is, it carries the strong comedic color of Kim Carey, but also with his smooth and free performance to convince us of such a "crazy for love" man.
And Ivan McGregor's subversive performance also made the audience shine, fans said that such a man is worth escaping from prison for him a thousand times, he seems to have no barrier with the character, portraying a gay character so vividly.
But behind the film, there is a real biography of the character that supports the development of the story, and from this point of view, it is difficult not to think, why did he do this? Why would a director use a fairy tale shell to package a story that looks very sad?
Real Philip and Russell
First of all, live-action biographies are not easy to shoot, the entry point is easy to fall into the cliché, and it is easy to tell the tedious narrative, resulting in no tension between the lens language and the film style;
Second, the same-sex movies of these years are very "conscious", what is consciousness? It is this type of film that is easy to be "set", and directors can easily fall into the context of "similarity" when dealing with it.
But "I Love You Morris" is biased to concoct a "rational and crazy" love story.
Taking "love" as the theme, abandoning the side-by-side scrutiny and rules, only starting from "love", the psychological portrayal of a real character is "extreme", and then using the surprising and winning "comedic effect" to make the rhythm of the film increase at a high speed, and what we see in it is that this movie is full of hope and love.
Steve Russell, played by Kim Carey, is a "love maniac" and a "high-IQ criminal", and it is possible that we can hardly believe that the same person has tried countless ways to escape from prison and always chooses to start his escape on the 13th of Every Friday.
That's because it was the birthday of the love of his life, Morris, and the reason he escaped from prison was simple, to meet Morris, to be with him.
He has impersonated all kinds of people, judges, doctors, agents, students, and even a showgirl, and his escape method is always bold and novel, completely confusing, and he has escaped from prison 4 times and successfully recovered;
The last time he lied about AIDS and escaped again, he was caught in prison without escaping the teasing of fate, and since then he has been sentenced to "life imprisonment", but he still maintains hope, and most people think that he is still planning a "prison escape" plan.
This actually sounds like a very "sad and stupid" story and character, but the film does not focus on his psychological activities, but instead blends "prison escape" and "love";
His love takes place in prison and also "dies" in prison, and when he first meets Morris, he falls in love at first sight and decides to protect and wait for him for the rest of his life, and this damn romanticism invisibly fulfills him and destroys him at the same time.
Destroying a person is simple, filling his life with "love" and making him think that that is "all".
Russell is such a crazy person in love, rational and cunning in life, he is like a "two-faced" created by God, and like a "model" created by God for people, he tells people that in fact, everyone is fair, and everyone has fatal shortcomings.
Morris once lay in his arms and said, "Never before has a man done so many romantic things for me." ”
How can Morris forget this person, even if he is imprisoned for life, he also loves Russell for a lifetime, the "fatalism" of the two people seems to be extremely romantic and pure, love each other, but in the end can not wait together, this is more like a heavy blow from reality to us, but it is also a meter of sunshine left by reality.
The film eschews all the inquiry of "same-sex consciousness" and instead infinitely amplifies the instinct of "love", as Russell puts it: "Love is magical, it makes you happy, sad, and doing things that you never even thought about before." 」 ”
So when we watch "I Love You Morris", there is a state of detachment from reality, only with the characters with sorrow and joy, completely forgetting the reality that two people who love each other cannot be together, and even more forgetting that these two people who love each other are men.
If there is a Brokeback Mountain in everyone's heart, it is a dream that can never be reached.
After watching this film, we believe that everyone has a Morris in their hearts, a person who will always live in dreams.
The beliefs and values it conveys are still positive, accepting yourself, being yourself, and breaking through yourself.
This is also Russell's original words, when his first car accident life was provoked, he said: "Stop lying, be myself, buy whatever you want, do whatever you want, and fuck who you want." ”
He met Morris, constantly pushing his own limits, seemingly absurd, in fact, contains a rich philosophy of life, as long as you want, any miracle can happen, perhaps this is also an "inspirational movie", we can feel, is Russell put into everything the truth and single-mindedness.
To tell the truth, there are very few such "best men" in love!
