Today, let's talk about the movie "The Name Engraved in Your Heart".
The Title Of Your Name Engraved Herein / The Name Engraved In Your Heart (2020), alias epic gay film.
This is a Taiwanese movie shot by Netflix. Looking at the title of this film and "Call Me by Your Name", you can guess that this is an LGBT movie.
In September 2020, "Call Me by Your Name" was released in Taiwan, and the box office exceeded 100 million, becoming the second film in Taiwan to break 100 million this year, and the first LGBT theme film to break 100 million. At this year's Golden Horse Awards, the film also won two awards for best cinematography and best original film song.
After the success of the film, the script was adapted into a novel, and the novel has been launched, which has completed the deletions in the film, and interested viewers can look for it.
The story takes place in Taiwan in 1987, when the decades-long martial law was lifted and the winds of change were blowing, but conservatism remained the unshakable mainstream of thought.
People who crave freedom live in repressive conditions, like handcuffs and shackles, and every day they are depressed.
The two male protagonists, Zhang Jiahan (Ahan) and Wang Baide (Birdy), are enrolled in a Catholic church school, and they see that this is about to take the college entrance examination, and the academic task is very heavy. But their minds are not only on the study of the exam, but also on a person who is engraved in the heart.
Homosexuality has always been a taboo topic.
Not only is homosexuality seen as pathological in society, but in Catholic schools, homosexuality is an act of hell.
In schools, teachers and instructors will teach boys to be masculine and brave, and to eliminate all female behavior. Students also beat and bully their classmates as politically correct. In this situation, Ahan and Birdy are extremely confused about ignorance of love and homosexuality. They have been looking for a suitable way to find a way out of this relationship, and this search has been many years for many people.
Catholic church schools naturally have to study the Bible, and the film begins with a quote from the Old Testament Song of Solomon: "Love and all the waters cannot be extinguished, and the great waters cannot be drowned." If anyone takes all the treasures in the house and wants to exchange them for love, he will be despised. ”
It is clear that the people who wrote the Bible did not consider homosexual love. In ancient times, homosexuality was a common phenomenon, and the ancient Greeks adopted a very enlightened attitude towards homosexuality, and Sparta also formed a "holy army", and ancient China also had the habit of breaking sleeves. However, in the early days, Christianity was weak and needed to multiply and strengthen it, so it opposed homosexuality and described it as an act of hell.
There is now a growing consensus that homosexuality is mostly innate and not a disease. The people who wrote the Bible would only think about the development and growth of their own religion, and obviously would not think of the earth-shaking changes in society after a thousand years.
"The Name Engraved in Your Heart" takes place at the time of the lifting of martial law in Taiwan, and it is also the time when the third industrial revolution technology developed rapidly, and the people's wisdom was further civilized and impacted the theocracy.
Any regime that needs a demographic dividend will not openly endorse LGBT, but will only encourage reproduction. At that time, the extravagant and lavish Roman Empire lived a comfortable life, thinking of changing tricks to obtain dopamine every day, and as a result, its own citizens did not want to make progress and were exterminated by foreign nations. Once the demographic advantage is gone, the risk of national subjugation will inevitably increase sharply. The countries that now recognize the legality of homosexuality are also old-school colonial countries, and if the days of peace are too long, they will be content with pleasure.
Ahan and Birdy obviously couldn't have known that they were in the midst of such a tide of change. They will only feel their own personal experience of these things. Homosexuality, which was regarded as a flood beast thirty years ago, can be generously and publicly announced thirty years later.
The title of the film foreshadows the main plot.
No matter how much many people like it in their hearts, they can only become "the name engraved in your heart" in the end.
Homophobia is the deep cabinet, many people are very radical in opposing homosexuality on the surface, but in fact they are all needed for work, but secretly they are a deep cabinet person. I have seen many such examples on the news, and the gossip is more well-informed, saying that I will also encounter them if I am not moving around.
This brings about the problem of shape marriage, and this film also points out this problem slightly, but it cannot be said too much, and if you say too much, the male protagonist will appear too scummy.
Back to love itself, whether it is the same sex or the opposite sex, there are still many commonalities on the road to love.
"When I look at her, she's looking at me too." This is the most beautiful way love looks in the first place, and it has nothing to do with gender.
The pinyin of "good night" is wanan, which is also an abbreviation for "I love you love you". Cherish the person who is willing to say "goodnight" to you.
In the process of pursuing love of the same sex, it is necessary to overcome some obstacles than the opposite sex, just like knowing that the mountains and seas are not flat, preferring to step on the mountains and the sea.
The process was tragic and the ending was tragic. If you don't get it right, you can't get several people's decades gone.
Just like Ahan, Birdy and Banban in this film, life can have several thirty years, the loved ones cannot be together, the people who do not love are together, and the results will not be happy.
The great sorrows of life are precisely what you can't ask for, what you can't give up, and what you can't get. Many same-sex loves are trapped in the first one. The form marriage and white eyes they get are the most unwanted things.
In addition, please ignore the ideological issues in the film when watching the movie.
The island's directors and actors will inevitably carry some of their bootlegs in the film. Therefore, this film will only be released in Taiwan, don't think about releasing it in the mainland.
For example, some narrow islander thinking, night lang arrogant honey juice self-confidence, everyone looks at it and smiles.
The more you ask for it, the more you can't ask for it,
The more you love, the more you can't.
