The Name Engraved in Your Heart

It is one of films for feel more than judge. A sort of exploration of personal experiences, honest, precise, well acted, maybe too long but graceful and correct. A film about friendship, love, apparences, reaction of the other and pure living. And, sure, about time passing. I appreciate it as a beautiful exercise to remind not only gay relations nuance but the simplicity of emotions, the traits of a specific age and the forms of acceptance more of yourself than the other. Short, a bitter beautiful film. For a part of public, for many motives, just useful. I do not exclude myself from this part.

A drama from Taiwan. LGBTQ It is about some friends in a boarding school where one falls in love with the other causing the friendship to gradually change, while they face situations typical of the time. Quality. Entertaining Talk about the harsh exodus of homosexuality at puberty and loving someone and never having the courage to tell them. About the decisions we make in life not to be judged or labeled by others. About wanting to be the same as others and really being yourself. He handles the religious point of view in an interesting way. Mainly talks about how sometimes we want to force someone to love us or forcing things to happen. The time well recreated. Some performances are not enough and for some moments they lack expression to get to touch certain emotions, but in general what they want to convey is achieved. Told in times and reaching the present. Although some scenes can feel long, the truth is that they make a lot of sense to the reactions that human beings can have about love. If you ever fell in love with your best friend, you are going to love this movie. With light and well-managed sex scenes, as well as nudes.

32 years ago and now, there have been big changes for the LGBT community in Taiwan. The movie still successfully builds a romantic school memory - a strong point of Taiwanese films, combined with history and love. In which, a nostalgic love, a troubled love gives you an indestructible tension. A love movie worth watching.

Love it so much! The production, settings, 80s vibes, actors, storyline, everything just PERFECT also the OST. The plot is unpredictable and not 'ordinary' or 'classic' BL 😭💖

In a oppressive era, not everyone was allowed to express or stand up for their own love, so as the characters in this film. Based on a real story from the directer and compared to modern days, the film showed that in one is able to have a chance and bravery to love anyone if he/she is truly important regardless gender or some unfair values of the society.
