A Lock With No Key (2019)

this is a queer film made by a queer filmmaker

I liked the story it told, and I got the point it was trying to tell. I have a short attention span, especially if it doesn't catch my attention straight away, so I will most likely not watch it again. Also, I would like to mention that this short film isn't made to be all rainbows and sunshine like usual Taiwan queer stories show to the world; it's supposed to show how in some cases, this is someone's reality. The reality is that toxic masculinity is very much present in the society that everybody lives in and influences how people act in everyday life. In order to fit in, he acts and does things in the same way that his friends do, and although the main character is drawn to the victim, the only way he knows how to get closer to him is what he sees in everyday life. He does, however, try to lessen the punishments in ways others can't see. It's not like other queer stories that are portrayed in which the main characters are madly in love, but it still very much is one, whether you'll agree or not.
(I can't remember if there was music and what it sounded like if there was, so I gave it a 5.)

Hanya serpihan kecil, mungkin?

Secara keseluruhan saya tidak begitu faham maksud dari film yang satu ini selain tentang "pembulian". Saya sudah menonton film ini sejak lama, dan saya sudah agak lupa. Pengemasan filmnya mirip seperti film "your name engraved herein" dalam adegan siswa yang dibully yang diperankan oleh Ereklin - dengan seragam yang hampir sama, dan komposisi warna yang sama. Namun jelas, inti ceritanya berbeda. Menceritakan seseorang yang dibully di sebuah ruangan oleh teman-temannya, aku tidak begitu bisa menangkap maksud atau life meaning di film ini, atau apa mungkin saya sudah benar-benar lupa? mungkin saya kurang begitu terkesan dengan film pendek yang satu ini. Tapi, jika anda tertarik, anda bisa mencoba untuk menontonnya sendiri.
