The Toronto Film Festival premiered in the Irish film "The Handsome Devil" about Ned and Conor forced to live in the same dormitory of a boarding school, a literary teenager who is bullied in a football crazy school, and a new star player who has high hopes, but the two of them quietly develop a deep friendship until they are questioned by others.
The film is actually about the process of adolescent children embracing themselves, the transformation of ideas and the transformation of behavior.
From the beginning when everyone was provoking Ned everywhere, Conor was transferred because others found themselves fighting differently, to the final stadium lounge, where all the rugby players stood behind Ned and Conor. Ned, who had tried his best to be expelled from the school and did not want the team to win, also changed his view of the outside world, from disdain to acceptance of the classmates, as well as the always enlightened principal, and of course, the most beautiful Mo Niang.
The character settings in the film are extremely tense, and each character is full. The narrative is delicate, and there is no shortage of laughable scenes. The film doesn't look depressing at all, but more joyful. Although there is no profound truth, no grand beauty, maybe the plot is slightly old-fashioned, as if winning a ball game wins all kinds of things, but this bowl of chicken soup is really boiling well.
Two men can also sing together.
You can also play as a striker in rugby to turn the tide.
I can also be a teacher and teach people what beauty is.
It can also be accepted and recognized by Christians.
The road ahead is long, and our journey is the stars and the sea.
Every character in the film is full of love and pursuit for life, even if it is a bad-tempered rugby coach, it is because he is too obsessed with the sport.
But anyone who lives seriously deserves to be respected.
Just like the male protagonist Ned, it does not matter whether he is gay or not, the movie is like Ned itself, a small body, with a big heart.
The superficial Shimizu drama is the recognition of the self, the price paid in the process of growth, and the clear direction of the future.
TO BE YOURSELF.
Finally, may you work hard all your life, be loved all your life, have everything you want, and let go of what you can't get.
