Happiest Season 求婚好意外(Clea DuVall,2020)
Country : USA
Score : 6.5/10
被媒體譽為第一部主流商業電影公司製作的同志佳節電影,導演Clea DuVall說這部電影多少反應了她的個人經驗,她曾經是那個被女友帶回家的「朋友」,她自己也曾帶「朋友」回家過節。講述一對女同志愛侶在聖誕節返鄉假期中,與家人之間所發生的一連串衝突與趣事,看似是部傳統的浪漫喜劇,實則增添不少當代文化的韻味,與性別議題的反思,也帶入了原生家庭無可避免的内化衝突主題。片中兩人的好友曾精準談論出櫃的感受:「My dad kicked me out of the house and didn't talk to me for 13 years after I told him. Everybody's story is different. There's your version and my version, and everything in between. But the one thing all of those stories have in common is that moment right before you say those words. When your heart is racing and you don't know what's coming next. That moment's really terrifying! And once you say those words, you can't un-say them. A chapter has ended, and a new one's begun. You have to be ready for that. You can't do it for anyone else. 」有點尖銳卻無比真實一針見血道出同志的内心糾結與渴望自由地愛與被愛,當今現下 自由平等博愛 不該只是口號, 而是普世價值了!
