The Love of Siam Finally finished reading "The Love of Siam". I think a large part of the reason why it touches us is due to its purity. In "The Love of Siam", the silent emotional lingering arouses the first beautiful memories in our hearts. In fact, I think there is no need to evaluate them from a gay perspective. Mew is not, and neither is tong. They like each other just because the person they like happens to be a boy. They are all still teenagers. Although they have experienced growth, they are not deeply involved in the world, and there is still a clear light in their eyes. They experience the loneliness of growing up. What is loneliness? The most impressive thing is Mew and Tong lying on the green bed, slowly talking about loneliness, "When I was a child, loneliness was because I had no friends; when I grow up, loneliness is more lonely than having no friends. Sometimes I wonder, if I really love Can we accept this kind of thing for a person? If one day, he dies, parting is a part of life. Can we really let go of someone and not be afraid? Did he leave me? What’s more, we must accept that no matter where we are, the person we love is no longer around; so, it’s just loneliness.” That calm and mature tone made me feel sorry for him. Two quiet teenagers. When I was a teenager, I said, I was lonely. I have been lonely for five years. Many details in the film moved me, but I did not shed tears. At least Mew once confessed his love to Tong. He stood on the stage and sang for him, his eyes cheering, "Maybe you have heard countless love songs, but this one It’s a love song that only belongs to you.” And that light kiss, the film’s always clean and pure shots express everyone’s feelings delicately and gracefully, just like the love of a young man, hazy and beautiful. This ending is actually the best. This may also be related to what each of us has been pursuing. How we long to have someone who understands us. But in fact, we have been missing each other and hurting each other. When we thought that pure feelings were about to become extinct, luckily we were given a movie like this. A fickle world. How surprised should we be that we actually see childhood sweethearts, a kiss at most, and a relationship where we just like each other? These should be what we long for in the purest holy place in our hearts, but we can’t get them. Even if they are just friends in the end, even if the semi-open ending breaks everyone's hearts, their relationship is indeed the relationship we have longed for. How can we not be happy? The climax of the whole film lies in the last ten minutes. After mew and Tong had not been in contact for so long, he would still look for Tong in the crowd before singing. Mew stood on the stage, but I felt like his eyes couldn't see the light. He once sang sweetly, "If I told you to write a love song for you, please don't believe it." But now, he just tried with some suspicion, "If I told you to write a love song for you..." - you would believe it. ? I sing this love song written for you, can you hear me? mew is singing, but there is no one in the audience who should listen to this song. His eyes were floating below the stage, unable to see Tong, so his smile was hollow and his singing was hollow. And when I saw Tong running around at the party, my heart also jumped for joy. I am looking forward to it, what kind of heartbeat will it be when we meet again? Mew's eyes were still wandering aimlessly, and then at that corner, his eyes stopped. His smile broadened. His voice cheered - "Just recently, you appeared" - tong, are you here? Have you come to listen to the song I wrote for you? mew's entire portrait was lit up, and as a viewer, I cried with joy. I thought, just thought, that they would choose to be together. As a result, Mew couldn't be happy for long, and his smile died again. The camera turned around and it turned out that he couldn't find Tong at that location. He couldn't see Tong anymore. I was thinking, in fact, youth is nothing more than this. Emotions are like an image, vague and vague. Our hearts harden after experiencing all kinds of love. After all, growth is an irreversible process.
But what will happen to their hearts after passing through this love? Mew walked down the aisle in low spirits. He might also wonder if Tong's appearance today was an illusion. Then I heard tong's voice, he shouted, mew. Mew walked to Tong and stood in front of the large French window. They still have such a tacit understanding, just like they separated yesterday, mew said hello in return, "Hey tong." "The song is very nice." At that moment, mew probably remembered that only kiss. The same scene happened that day. After tong said it sounded very good, mew asked him how he felt after hearing it. Tong thought about it for a long time and said it was hard to express in words. So, there was that kiss that came too late and left too early. So, Mew buried his head and smiled, and then asked, "Aside from how nice it sounds?" He probably expected Tong's feelings to be revealed again. However, melancholy crept up between Tong's brows. Tong said, "Oh, let's not be together anymore." Mew's smile solidified little by little, like the only light in the dark night crumbling in sadness. He lowered his head, not wanting Tong to see his disappointed look. Tong blinked and said seriously: "But this doesn't mean that I don't love you." Mew raised his head, how long had he been waiting for this sentence? But finally, these words that were supposed to be the beginning meant the end. However, it’s finally time to wait. After all, they are each other’s memories and each other’s youth. Even if in the future - "I don't know what will happen to us in the future", at least there was warmth, so that's good. Not too bad. So he smiled, a sad and broken smile, the emotion was too clear to tolerate complaints, just like a glass. Mew said, "Thank you." Silence. He continued, "Well, my friend is waiting for me, let's go first." Tong suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute." Mew's eyes lit up again. He took what Tong handed over, "What is this?" "A Christmas gift for you." "Thanks." "Then, let's go first." Mew said. So, one more word to take care. I finally understand that we separated because I don’t love you and because you don’t love me. Or, because we love each other. Mew came home and stuck his nose into the puppet. This nose doesn't fit well with the puppet. Does this mean that their relationship will not be perfect in the end? mew sat in an empty room, his loneliness not cured in the end. He was destined to be a lonely man, but he could only say: "Thank you." In the last ten minutes, Mew thanked Tong three times. What is he thanking for? I think it’s thanks to Tong for giving him good memories. Thank you tong, at least it once made loneliness so fragile. Thank you tong, although it makes loneliness even more lonely. But they all have to grow up after all, and even if they are lonely, they still have memories. He looked at the puppet and finally laughed and cried. It hurts the most to laugh and cry. And they will all live in their own worlds, where tenderness will still exist and loneliness will last forever. ?
Writing my reflections again, just like the homework assigned by the teacher when I was a child. But this is based on my feelings~~~
The Love of Siam is about a different kind of love, and it describes the love between two boys. There may be many people who cannot accept this kind of love, just like the boy's mother in the play, because people always look at the world with their usual eyes, just like fish can only fall in love with fish, and stripes can only love stripes but not polka dots. I am very supportive of this kind of love between same-sex people. To say that I support may be a bit too much, but perhaps I should say that it is acceptable.
As far as the plot is concerned, I like the ending of this movie very much. This kind of love that is not recognized by society ends with the protagonist's reason, and the love between them is eternal!
There are many shots with strong implications in the movie, which hint at what is going to happen next. I don’t know if all Thai movies are like this. The small details in the front will pave the way for the later ones, giving people a feeling of echoing back and forth.
Let me end with the last subtitle in the movie, "If you really love someone, how can you not be afraid of being separated from him, and we must accept the reality, so when we grow up, Loneliness is the absence of love, which is more lonely than having no friends.
Even if it is short-lived, it will be unforgettable. The love that lights up our lives is like this love story that happened in Siam."
The day before yesterday, my roommate and I had nothing to do, so we watched "Siam" together. "Love" is a movie I heard from a friend before and said it was a classic movie about same-sex love. So out of curiosity, I wanted to see how exciting this movie is.
Anyway. Generally speaking, I think this movie is not just about homosexuality. The maternal love in the movie is even greater. The male protagonist Dong’s mother is a strong and rational mother. She not only has to face the pain of losing her daughter, but also She had to face a decadent and sad husband, support the whole family, and finally when she knew that her only hope was that her son Dong fell in love with Miu, a same-sex friend who had grown up together, one can imagine how uncomfortable this mother felt at that time. Dong is her only hope and her sustenance. It is understandable that she cannot accept that her son is gay, so she can only "force" Miu to leave her son and ask her son not to see him. It's pitiful that Zhu Mi is so sad that she doesn't see Dong, but this doesn't make people hate Dong's mother. After all, she is a poor mother, and she is also a great mother.
Moreover, the other main line of the movie, the emotional description of the two male protagonists, is also quite touching. In fact, I do not hold a favorable opinion on homosexuality, but seeing the relationship between Mu and Dong made me quite worried. I heard a friend introduce BL, Danmei, and said that it is a very pure and beautiful love. I wonder what men are like in real life?
Seeing Miao Hedong! A chance meeting on the street corner, seeing the song written by Miu Weidong, and finally what Dong said to Miu on Christmas Eve, "I can't be your boyfriend, but that doesn't mean I don't love you..." and Miu's final "Thank you." "You", after returning home, Miu burst into tears in front of the little puppet Dong gave him. I couldn't help but shed tears at that time. This was the second place in this play that made me cry. The other place was Dong. When my parents finally understood what the girl June who looked very much like Hong said, they hugged each other and cried. I felt that for the sake of his mother and his family, he had to give up Miu, and Miu could only choose to give up. Dong, don’t let Dong’s life go on as “wrong” because of yourself, as Dong’s mother said, “If you really love someone, how can you not be afraid of being separated from him. And we must accept the reality, so when we grow up, loneliness means the absence of love, which is more lonely than having no friends. Even if it is short, it will be unforgettable. "This passage was said by Miu, and it should be regarded as a theme of this movie. The last scene of the movie is that Miu bursts into tears in his room. It is his helplessness, hopelessness and sadness... look at this I really like the movie. I think the actor did a good job, not as "girly" as I imagined him to be... Hehe, he's very sunny and handsome~~
In the movie. Another female character, Miu's neighbor Ying, has been secretly in love with Miu for many years. When she finally learned that Miu and Dong were in love, she was not only sad and angry, but in the end she resolutely accepted it and helped Miu get out of her heart, "With love, There is hope." Help Dong buy back the puppet's nose, and let Dong give it to Miao on Christmas night... In the end, Ying herself could only shed tears to remember her relationship!
In short, this movie has a lot of emotions to express, not just the love between Miu and Dong. It is a movie that shocks people's hearts. Maybe it's because the two male protagonists are so handsome. It's a beautiful scene when the two of them stand together.
After watching this movie, I was moved by the love between Dong and Mu, moved by Dong’s mother, and moved by Ying’s kindness... I have a lot of thoughts, and I’ve just written a few lines. I hope you all Friends, if you have a chance, go watch this movie and share it with everyone! !
Here are some stills:
(Left: Miu Right: Dong. As for the actor’s name, it’s Thai, I can’t understand it)
The nose of the puppet ...
Ying and Mi (by the way, Ying in the play is from Chinese, and her mother in the play speaks Chaozhou dialect, haha, I am also from Chaoshan, so she is quite friendly)
The last scene of the movie
I have seen a few Thai movies before, most of which are closely related to witches and snake monsters. It’s not that the strange power is bad, but the film deliberately uses a mysterious atmosphere as the narration. A kind of folk culture is displayed, but many clues are mixed in for no reason. While it seems fashionable and diverse, it blurs the theme and appears weak in expression. Chaos, anxiety, and cheap drama grafting formed my previous perception of Thai films. I didn't have any more expectations for "Love of Siam". The two handsome-looking boys on the poster, so-called teenagers, made me feel that it was right to have no expectations.
However, as the film unfolded, we walked through the alleys, old Chinese music, children’s determination to sit on the steps, and the play of neighbor siblings lined up in the depths of the alley. The atmosphere of making a fire and cooking comes to mind, making it seem simple and ordinary. The alley is such a quiet place. It is the same everywhere. It seems to have no splendor, but it is densely filled with the sentiment of life. A silver needle from an old lady, a basket for washing rice, and a spoonful and a bowl. Home. Next to the green plants, children lined up around the ants as a live version of the animal world. The young people came back from school and passed by the fragrance of rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival. They stopped their bicycles hastily, turned around and opened the door, hearing the sound of dishes being washed and running water in a house. The sound of voices and voices spread together with the chasing and laughter of children outside the door. The story of Love in Siam takes place in such an atmosphere. It is appropriate to ignore the deep and passionate love and to show a hint of youthful tenderness here.
The young people in the film have dreams. Dreams are the source of the film that moved me. The girl next door who has a crush on MEW is kind, sweet, gentle and affectionate. On a summer afternoon, a boy was composing music in his room. What was he going to compose? It had a theme: love. The girl shook the boy's shoulder and joked, "You see you don't understand how love works. You don't have a girlfriend, so I'll be your girlfriend." The boy looked shy. Regarding love, naturally everything is expected, and it doesn’t matter what love is.
The secret love of the girl next door is touching. After this trial, it is confirmed that MEW does not have a girlfriend. Then he got the boy's hair in a roundabout way, followed the instructions in the divination book, and embedded it into the plaything, hoping for a miracle. This failed, so she sat alone in the room cutting roses. All the smiling faces in the room were surrounding her. They were all the smiling faces of her sweetheart. All the smiling faces in the room belonged to her alone. Naturally, she was extremely happy. When she went to give roses to the boy and overheard the conversation between MEW and TONG's mother, the girl was heartbroken. She went home and threw away the roses, then went to bed and took off the boy's photos one by one, crying and feeling miserable. She laughed to herself, what were she laughing at? She was laughing at the fact that the boy she had a crush on could never like the opposite sex for the rest of her life. The girl sensed the irony in her secret love, and felt that her love had been insulted. In this way, the girl may be worthy of sympathy, but it is not touching. Fortunately, under the lens, the girls we see are much more three-dimensional. MEW asked the girl to look for old records. Under the bed, he accidentally found a photo of himself, and his secret love surfaced. The boy stammered and asked, The girl came over, put away the photo, and said one word at a time. The meaning of the lyrics is that as long as you still love, there is hope. The seemingly sensational scene is extremely touching because it relates to a young man's inner thoughts. In this nameless love, the girl seems to have lost the position of love, but she has gained the dignity of love because of her persistence. When TONG fell into a crisis of self-identity, the girl hugged him tightly to comfort him. When TONG tightened her hand and rushed to the stage, the girl silently let go, let go, and looked back. Such a girl because of her pure The persistence of motherhood and love makes her full in form and spirit.
The ability to always maintain love is extraordinary. Only in this way can human life be consciously moving. www.130q.com
Two young people, MEW and TONG, were originally happy with each other. The former likes tranquility by nature, while the latter likes movement. The two are classmates and live across from each other, and they are as good as each other as close relatives. TONG's family has to move away because of the disappearance of their eldest daughter. There is not too much exaggeration of the separation here, but the scene of MEW raising his hand to wipe his tears through the car window still made me burst into tears. A person, a child, always has to leave his hometown and go to a new world. It is inevitable to be separated from some people and things. Although it is inevitable, he always wants to make some efforts to stay. He silently says in his heart, don't leave at sunset, don't leave at sunset, and don't leave either. , and then had to say goodbye. We met again ten years later. There were many changes in our respective lives. When we met for the first time, we couldn't say a thousand words, we could only smile and say hello. Fortunately, the feeling of childhood has not disappeared, MEW is still obsessed with music, and TONG is also feeling refreshed.
This film focuses on TONG's family. Their early happiness has been diluted by the disappearance of their eldest daughter. The daughter's disappearance has led to her father drinking all the time and doing nothing all day long. Tong's mother is so domineering that she is exhausted both mentally and physically. She can only place her hope in the future. Only son. So many unexpected changes in life come one after another. The lack of love leads to numbness of the soul, and the disappearance of the eldest daughter becomes a symbol. In a general sense, everyone's growth is an unprovoked sequence. What they encounter and what they become become. Every problem seems to be solvable, but in fact there are many branches. Secret doors breed in simple places, leading to one unknown after another. If a person is born for the unknown, according to the words of Mr. Feng Zikai, life is like three floors. The first floor is for food and clothing, the second floor is for academics, and those who have a strong desire for life will go to the third floor. To explore the truth and reason of the vast world, and to move towards the unknown life, we turned to religion. This film does not have a strong sense of religion, but the nihility of life runs through the entire film. Simplicity and nothingness seem incongruous. The content of the former can be felt in the physical world, while the content of the latter is intangible and metaphysical. However, it reveals the essence of life. The greatness of this film is that it relies on the growth of young people to reveal a certain natural state of life in the world and moves towards Nothingness is so mysterious and far away, and it is not the theme of this film, but it is commendable to encourage people to survive in nothingness. The disappearance of the eldest daughter shattered the happiness of a family, and the trajectory of a life turned around. The turning point came with the appearance of Ah Zhun, the artistic assistant in charge of the MEW band. Ah Zhun resembled Ah Hong very much. After being introduced by MEW, Ah Zhun finally Accepting the advice of TONG's family, he decided to help his alcoholic father regain his fighting spirit for life. The director didn't write much about this battle against the nothingness of life, but he used a few details to unfold the personal inner texture of this battle.
Let’s talk about the mother first. From the beginning, we can know the mother’s status in the family. The mother makes the final arrangements for the children's games, the daughter's outings, and prayers before meals. The father is kind and casual, and he seems to agree a little. When a person is at the center of a family for a long time, it is easy for him to become slightly alienated from his loved ones. When the news came that her daughter was missing, who passed the news to her son TONG was her father. In a family, the father is usually the silent one, and the mother is the one who talks to the children. The more sad and weak the mother is, the mother needs comfort and love because of the great pain when she loses her daughter. communicate. Therefore, it is only in line with common sense that the mother should convey the news to TONG. But in TONG's family, the mother stood in the kitchen with eyes filled with sadness, and the father sadly told his son that the news of his eldest daughter's disappearance had been passed on to him. It can be seen that the son is alienated from his mother, and this alienation is not unrelated to the mother's status in the family and the mother's personality. The father misses his daughter, drinks alcohol and sheds tears without hiding it from his wife. Wouldn’t the wife not miss her daughter? Of course not. As the woman at the center of the family, her spirit cannot be broken. She walked into the room and hugged her daughter’s pillow tightly and cried secretly. She fled with her family, buried her wounds to provide food for her husband, and was anxious about her son's future. However, she still could not let go of her dignity as the center of the family. She declared to her husband time and time again that she would no longer have a daughter, and was worried about her son's academic future, career, and family, until After a party, she saw her son and MEW kissing. This woman felt lost and felt that her life's business was just a revenge of her life. The doubts about her life saved this woman's dignity.
On Christmas Eve, her son decorated the Christmas tree with her. The son said, I would hang it somewhere better. If I hang it incorrectly, I might make you angry. The tone was considerate, gentle, and also distant. The woman also realized her own problem. She said, son, just choose what you like. With a simple communication, letting go of likes and dislikes, and abandoning family-centered standards, you can feel the most sincere love between parents and children.
TONG grew up under his mother's rules, and his mother's words and deeds allowed him to keep a distance from women's tyranny. He could not feel the tenderness, comfort and care in his ex-girlfriend's wavering love. His mother's tyranny made him long for tenderness and freedom. The beautiful memories from childhood resurfaced. MEW and TONG were sleeping on the bed. Simply put, they had infinite intersections. TONG said are you lonely? TONG is naturally lonely. MEW said that when I was a child, I would be lonely when my grandma was around. , since my grandma passed away, I have become even more lonely now. TONG hugged MEW tightly, because two people hold hands and will not be alone when facing loneliness. TONG's love for MEW is out of nature and out of love for himself. When he was a child, he bravely saved MEW when everyone surrounded him, and he was beaten into panda eyes without hesitation. He has the power to protect others, and at the same time, he is looking for possibilities in the vast world. A source of love, TONG is more conscious of seeking love than MEW. MEW's loneliness is about growth and general, so it has more tragic content. The meticulous MEW was considered a sissy since he was a child and was bullied in the toilet. This kind of psychological damage caused his own loneliness and rejection of others. His growth relied more on his own strength, even if he formed a band, even if he had an excellent voice , even if he can sing "I love you" to his beloved, his world is still lonely. Whitman's world has the sea and the night, Verlaine has a green patch of Altier Rimbaud's dream, MEW has nothing, he sits In front of the old wall clock, he thought that he was bound to destroy TONG's happiness. He duplicitously said that he and TONG were just friends. Yes, he also has a dream. Even if this dream never comes true, he will still say "Thank you." My dear, our world is so lonely.
The romance between TONG and MEW ended quietly before it even started. Ordinary gatherings, ordinary stories, the scene of two people kissing under the pavilion moved my heart. TONG said, I don’t know why, yes, there are so many reasons. My friend said that when you meet someone in your life, you fall in love with them, and the gender doesn’t matter.
There is a famous passage in "Love in a Fallen City". Under the wall in Repulse Bay, Fan Liuyuan said to Bai Liusu: "One day, our civilization will be completely destroyed, and everything will be over. ——After it has been burned, blown up, and collapsed, maybe there is still this wall left. Liusu, if we had met under this wall at that time... Liusu, maybe you would have some sincerity for me, and maybe I would have some love for you. A little sincerity." Fan Liuyuan's words here are full of the loneliness of constantly searching for the ultimate in life. Everyone's life will have constant questions, helpless loneliness and melancholy. So, what do we rely on to survive? I think it is mostly love, loving people and loving things. "Love of Siam" is a film about love. The teenagers in this film all have the ability to have healthy love. They use their youthful hearts to restore their family and friendship, and sing out a piece of blue sky. Although the road of life is lonely and sad, and the emptiness is endless, as long as there is love, there is no need to worry.
