Your roommate is a big guy who plays rugby, what do you do when you stumble upon his untold secret?
Literary teenager Ned was forced to live in a boarding school, the school is obsessed with rugby, proud of rugby, love quiet, do not love sports Ned completely unable to integrate, out of place he was also bullied by the bully Winel, Ned checked the dormitory schedule, found that he lived alone, very happy.
Back in the dormitory, Ned opened the door to find a big handsome guy practicing push-ups, the two looked at each other for a few seconds, Ned said "give me some time" and left in a hurry (almost thought he was going to say that he was opening the wrong way in the next sentence), Ned wanted to talk to the principal about living alone, but the principal who didn't care about it still drove Ned away.
Ned is a teenager with a secret, but also because of this secret was bullied by others, the bully Wingl tore off the poster of his beloved "Suede" album, helplessly he had to live with his roommate Conor, in order to protect himself, Ned built a "Berlin Wall" with a desk and wardrobe.
A new English teacher, Dan, arrives at the school and discovers that Ned always writes essays with unknown songs, so he asks Ned to read the essay in class, And Dan also plays the song that Ned reads, which makes the classmates laugh, and the roommate Conor tells Ned in the evening that he likes the song, so Ned also becomes friends with Conor
Mr. Dan quickly mingled with his classmates, and in order to complete the task of the school talent show, he arranged a chorus program for Ned and Conor, so Ned and Conor often practiced together, and the friendship between the two deepened a lot.
Conor was going to go to the semi-finals with the team, and he wanted Ned to watch it, and Ned agreed. Conor's father pulled the team's youngsters along for a drink and a party, conor drank some too, and the drunken Conor father said something that made him angry and sad, so Conor left the party alone.
Ned, who was watching the movie, found Conor alone, so he followed him to an admission bar, Ned watched Conor enter and wanted to follow him, but the security guard outside the door did not let Ned in, and in the conversation with the security guard, Ned also knew Conor's secret.
The film Handsome Devil (translated as "Handsome Devil") has a cute Irish accent, and the warm tone of the film makes the contradictions in the film, without too much uncomfortable intensity, and the shooting method is also very fresh.
The film begins with Ned as the center, and when everyone is looking forward to how the film tells Ned's story, they are also surprised to find that not only Ned's story, but also the story of Conor and Dan, and the stories of these three people are actually the same, stemming from the same ulterior secret, forced to hide their true side, forced to lie.
The most resonant place in the film is that Mr. Dan shouts "You are all independent people" to the students, and the other is that Conor asks Mr. Dan with a crying voice, "Why am I different", many times we do not need to choose right and wrong, nor do we need to stand in any camp, just to make ourselves better, suppressed nature does not mean lying, but to make ourselves better.
Don't be intimidated by the somewhat "Mary Sue" name of "Handsome Demon", because this is a good movie that deserves everyone's deep consideration!
