Jing-Hua Tseng and Edward Chen in Ton nom en plein coeur (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.

    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.

    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.

    A Truly Wonderful Movie

    It was Christmas Eve and I wanted to watch this movie and Cherry Magic. I put on the fire, made dinner and settled down to watch this film. I had to pause three times just to absorb just how raw and empathic this movie was to watch.

    By the end, I was done. I couldn't manage to watch anything else. The narrative, the character development, the dialogue between the boy and the pastor, the realism and the cast are exceptional.

    It's a movie that will communicate to many, that their experience and struggle through life, just to live in society, is understood and they're not alone. It reaches the soul.

    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.

    Interesting

    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.

    • Trivia
      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".
    • Goofs
      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.
