看好多人的评论都觉得这个故事不够独特,剧情“太老套”。在网上查了一下,这部短片在2015年得了“英国最佳短片”奖。Jury Craig from the 2015 Iris Prize Festival described the film as, “A clever, original concept, time travel, teen issues, great performances”. 为什么这部电影对他们来说是“一个机灵的,独特的创意” 而对我们来说是“狗血”,“俗套”?这部短片的制作不是为了赢得什么,它的目的是把这份勇气,鼓励,宣传出去,仅此而已。Lloyd is disturbed by the self-harming statistics of LGBTI youth and hopes that his film Closets will highlight the issue.“I want to get it out there because I don’t think a lot of people know about those statistics. I’d love to get this film into schools and screened to a young audience.”成长真的就是一个很复杂,很困难的路程。有太多太多的否定,让脆弱的灵魂不知道何处安身。如果加一点点魔法,一点点希望,能够让它亮起来,就是这部电影想要说的了。“Growing up is so hard anyway, and when you’ve got your sexuality on top of it, I just think it can be a really confusing time. I want to show them that they’re not alone, there are other people going through this, it really will be OK in the end, and it will get better.”所以,我们能不能不要那样的世故?时代是在推进,社会是在变得越来越包容。但是还是有那样一些人正在受到不必要的欺凌。如果这部电影能够给他们一些东西让他们更坚强一些,也许,就已经够了。所有英文原文来自http://eikonline.com/lgbti-short-film-closets-wins-best-british-short-film/。
