>> randy coming out to his father
- dad, i need to tell you something... i'm gay.
- is that it?
- wait, you knew? why didn't you tell me?
- what? i'm supposed to tell you that you're gay? i think you're supposed to tell me that.
- well, you could've saved me so much agony.
- agony?
- discomfort.
- so, uh, what prompted this confession?
- nick saw pictures of me and chaz taken in a phott booth.
- nude?
- dad!
- is that it? hmm? 'cause if so, i really should get back to my work.
- no no no, it's about this community service center. chaz's parents want to close the place down today, just because of a show that they think is gonna out chaz. we need your legal help.
- oh, friends in need. wind in my hair. i'm feeling young again. maybe i'll even crash your poker party.
>> chaz's video diary
dear nick... i need to tell you something. but i can't seem to do it in person, so i'm gonna try it the firehouse way. i encourage the kids that i mentor there to tell stories in a video diary. the kids, like you, look up to me, but... what you don't know is - is that i'm a fraud and a coward. by definition, i'm a different breed from our parents, and so are you, nick. you live in this bubble, but you're always the real you. but you don't pretend. and i've always been jealous of that. thay say that aspies can't communicate. oh, they are wrong. you laugh, you sulk, you roll on the floor. you comminicate if not only in words, and in moods. soon i'm gonna tell the world i'm gay. and when the shit hits the fan, i'm gonna need you to watch my back. i love you, bro.
>> nick's speech
( chaz: grandma said a long time ago that vietnamese people used to eat coconut frogs. oh yeah, coconut and frogs. they'd take a coconut and make a small cut and insert a tadpole. then, a few weeks later, they'd open up the coconut to find a blind frog with white skin.) after a couple of weeks...you open the coconut...and you'll see...a blind frog with...with white skin. and it'll have the smoothest skin and the softest coconut-flavoured meat.
for most of my life...i've been like one of those tadpoles. growing up in a strange world that never seemed right, but trying my best to fit in, to grow...into a frog. after spending time at the firehouse, it hit me. our parents wanted us to be perfect. they had an image of what perfect should be. but in the end, i don't deserve to live in a coconut. no one does. chaz was gay, and i have asperger's. but i agree with chaz. i am not a white frog. and i will not be a white frog, even if i'm weird or different or strange. 'cause you know what, everyone is different.
這導演不是初哥了怎么拍得像習作(背景還出現了ethan mao的海報),男主角好奇葩,多國血統(tǒng)混得結果是巨像泰國人。
Tedious as it is, I still feel touched.
太說教了。screw normal,screw you!
很純凈的電影吶,,但還是微微的想看到一點基情=。=
哥哥的心靈密碼。。
被BooBoo萌的一臉血。。最后還挑動了我的情緒線。。好喜歡。。
說教痕跡略重,但男孩們的親情、友情和愛情都如此美好,溫暖的治愈片。阿斯伯格癥的弟弟很出彩,但片中最讓人印象深刻的卻是出場就掛掉的哥哥。他的音容笑貌無處不在,穿過弟弟和朋友們的回憶,特別響又非常近...
這么帥的哥哥為毛一出場就被掛掉了。。
很不錯 真的!
好久沒看那么優(yōu)秀的青春電影了!最后超級感人 T T 演員們贊一個??!被BooBoo的長睫毛萌翻 > < OST試聽:http://www.xiami.com/song/showcollect/id/22286120
前半較好,去死哥哥的朋友代替哥哥照顧弟弟跟兄弟情表達得不錯,在知道哥哥身份后開始就變說教,將同志這定位成太嚴重,華人父母對這反感還說得通自閉癥的弟弟會這么看重嗎,導演想說的是太多反而都說得太表面。另外椰子蛙這個做法不知是不是真的,反正是讓我覺得有點惡
難怪覺得看著幾只眼熟 導演明顯駕馭不了這樣混雜的題材啊 吶 包括了好幾個點 同志 自閉癥 少年問題 教育問題 東西方教育問題 一個點都能拍個電影 導演卻攪在一起了 演員尤其是主演沒這個演技 結尾用力過猛 前后太不協(xié)調了 唯一的亮點在陳沖的前段 收到兒子錄取通知書那段還是很精彩的 后面就有點兒....
有點感觸~
關于認同和自我認同最后皆大歡喜的片子。觀后感:1.第一分鐘覺得有基情,一小時后終于證實了,不過我花了好久才意識到演媽的是陳沖;2.有錢真好;3.兩個純華裔生出倆混血實在違和。。。
尼克實在長的很奇怪,雖然題材不錯,可大部分時間都在糾結這張非常不亞洲的面孔,嚴重出戲。同樣是同志情節(jié),同樣是陳沖,感覺就是比《面子》差了一點。
飚演技?
不錯看
"brand new me"
劇本倒馬馬虎虎,只是導演水準太三流,整個看起來都很飄。
你連爛都要爛的如此牛叉閃閃?。?!
