>> 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.
有点感触~
你连烂都要烂的如此牛叉闪闪!!!
不错看
劇本倒馬馬虎虎,只是導演水準太三流,整個看起來都很飄。
很不錯 真的!
难怪觉得看着几只眼熟 导演明显驾驭不了这样混杂的题材啊 呐 包括了好几个点 同志 自闭症 少年问题 教育问题 东西方教育问题 一个点都能拍个电影 导演却搅在一起了 演员尤其是主演没这个演技 结尾用力过猛 前后太不协调了 唯一的亮点在陈冲的前段 收到儿子录取通知书那段还是很精彩的 后面就有点儿....
太说教了。screw normal,screw you!
"brand new me"
Tedious as it is, I still feel touched.
关于认同和自我认同最后皆大欢喜的片子。观后感:1.第一分钟觉得有基情,一小时后终于证实了,不过我花了好久才意识到演妈的是陈冲;2.有钱真好;3.两个纯华裔生出俩混血实在违和。。。
好久没看那么优秀的青春电影了!最后超级感人 T T 演员们赞一个!!被BooBoo的长睫毛萌翻 > < OST试听:http://www.xiami.com/song/showcollect/id/22286120
被BooBoo萌的一脸血。。最后还挑动了我的情绪线。。好喜欢。。
很纯净的电影呐,,但还是微微的想看到一点基情=。=
这么帅的哥哥为毛一出场就被挂掉了。。
这导演不是初哥了怎么拍得像习作(背景还出现了ethan mao的海报),男主角好奇葩,多国血统混得结果是巨像泰国人。
前半较好,去死哥哥的朋友代替哥哥照顾弟弟跟兄弟情表达得不错,在知道哥哥身份后开始就变说教,将同志这定位成太严重,华人父母对这反感还说得通自闭症的弟弟会这么看重吗,导演想说的是太多反而都说得太表面。另外椰子蛙这个做法不知是不是真的,反正是让我觉得有点恶
说教痕迹略重,但男孩们的亲情、友情和爱情都如此美好,温暖的治愈片。阿斯伯格症的弟弟很出彩,但片中最让人印象深刻的却是出场就挂掉的哥哥。他的音容笑貌无处不在,穿过弟弟和朋友们的回忆,特别响又非常近...
尼克实在长的很奇怪,虽然题材不错,可大部分时间都在纠结这张非常不亚洲的面孔,严重出戏。同样是同志情节,同样是陈冲,感觉就是比《面子》差了一点。
飚演技?
哥哥的心灵密码。。
