Jing-Hua Tseng and Edward Chen in The Name Engraved in Your Heart (2020)

In 1988, martial law ends in Taiwan and two schoolboys, A-han and Birdy, are about to enter into an illicit love affair after meeting in the school band led by a Canadian priest named Oliver. While the whole country commemorates the late president, the two boys bask in each other's presence as A-han's affection for Birdy is awakened. However, society is homophobic and the threat of violence and social shaming enacted by adults and their fellow teens causes the two to come into conflict as they edge closer to physically enacting on their passions for each other. Birdy pushes A-han away by pretending to fall in love with a girl and this misunderstanding separates them. In desperation, A-han confessed to Father Oliver about his sexuality, only to be cut off again but love knows no bounds and the boys are meant to be together - Inspired by real events, the film is emblematic of the changes in Taiwan which became the first country in Asia to legalise gay marriage.

Deep love is simple but hard

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.

Can't stop crying. Best movie of 2020

This movie just crushes my soul, even more so the second time I watched it. I relate to it so hard. I think there would be many others who also relate to it the same way. I wonder what my Birdy was thinking when he watched this movie. And did he recognise his role, that he was the Birdy in our relationship? Even worse, I wonder if it causes him regret.

It is an amazing movie, and speaks to the experience so many people had, and still have. Thank you for making it.

Such a beautiful movie

The narrative is flawless, the various scenes between the priest and the boy are amazing. This movie made me cry several times and became probably the best movie of the year for me.

A love movie worth watching

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.

Quiz
The official title of the movie and the title song is the same in English - Your Name Engraved Herein. However the Chinese title of the movie is literally translated as "The Name Engraved In Your Heart" and the title song is literally translated as "The Name Engraved In My Heart".

Blooper
The ending of the movie takes place in Québéc City, which is a twelve-hour drive from Niagra Falls. Additionally, it's a French-speaking location. Signage and dialogue would be either French or bilingual, yet for some reason are all in English. This is uncharacteristic of Quebec.
