Hello Hivers! I hope you are well, today I wanted to talk about a movie I watched earlier this year. I had just finished watching another Korean film when Netflix recommended this piece to me, which is why I decided to watch the preview posted on this platform. I was struck by the fact that it was an LGTBIQ+ film made in Taiwan, I always thought that in that country as in almost all of Asia homosexuality was taboo.
Taiwan is a small Southeast Asian island that has been in conflict with mainland China for many years. Both countries dispute each other's territory, one is recognized and the other is diplomatically encircled, one is a communist dictatorship and the other nation lives in democracy. At the beginning China was a single country but at the end of World War II there was a civil war that ended with the government exiled in Taiwan with a small part of the Chinese population.
In 1949 the government of the island dictated the Martial Law that was used to repress the population and attempt against individual liberties, this law was abolished in 1987, the year in which the movie is set. But I won't tell you more and let's discover more about this touching story.

Hola Hivers! Espero que estรฉn bien, hoy querรญa hablar acerca de una pelรญcula que vi a principios de este aรฑo. Habรญa terminado de ver otra pelรญcula coreana cuando Netflix me recomendรณ esta pieza, por la cual decidรญ ver el adelanto publicado en esta plataforma. Me llamaba la atenciรณn que fuera un filme LGTBIQ+ hecho en Taiwรกn, siempre creรญ que en ese paรญs al igual que en casi toda Asia la homosexualidad era un tabรบ.
Taiwรกn es una pequeรฑa isla del sudeste asiรกtico que tiene muchos aรฑos en medio de un conflicto con la China Continental. Ambos paรญses disputan el territorio del otro, uno es reconocido y el otro estรก cercado diplomรกticamente, uno es una dictadura comunista y la otra naciรณn vive en democracia. En un principio China era un solo paรญs pero al terminar La Segunda Guerra Mundial hubo una guerra civil que terminรณ con el gobierno exiliado en Taiwรกn con una pequeรฑa parte de la poblaciรณn China.
En 1949 el gobierno de la isla dicto la Ley marcial que se usรณ para reprimir a la poblaciรณn y atentar contra las libertades individuales dicha ley fue suprimida en 1987 aรฑo en el que estรก ambientada la pelรญcula. Pero no les cuento mรกs y vamos a descubrir mรกs acerca de esta conmovedora historia.

The film begins with the end of the martial law which was officially repealed in Taiwan in 1987, but the directors of the new school of A-han (Edward Chen) don't want to let go of the old regime. That doesn't matter much as our protagonists are about to graduate. At the beginning we see A-han Bloodied, full of rage and crying, talking openly with the school's priest who is also the music teacher, Father Oliver (Fabio Grangeon) who is the only person A-han can truly trust. Right there is a flashback to the previous year, when A-han, a recent transfer, approaches Birdy (Jing-Hua Tseng) at a swimming pool they share a kind of mutual recognition that will be more awkward than anything else. Birdy manages to keep his homosexuality a secret but he is outspoken and rebellious, so he is teased, bullied and at one point suffers violence when he is hit with a switch by the cruel headmaster of the school that seems to be more like a prison, as this happens A-han watches the crude scene dumbfounded.
They soon cause some trouble together: A-han watches as Birdy urinates on Father Oliver's car window, then they elope on a bus bound for Taipei the capital of Taiwan, where they pretend to mourn the late President Chiang and watch as the authorities crack down on a protester who carries a banner that reads "homosexuality is not a disease".
As time passes, the school that once accepted only boys begins to accept girls, but the orders are to keep them separate from the boys. Birdy's rebellion continues, but his protest evolves into a personal one, a struggle between curing and distancing himself from homosexuality or building a facade to defend himself from his haters keeps him immersed in serious emotional problems that lead him to convince Banban (Mimi Shao) a very cute girl to be his girlfriend, without caring anything about A-han's feelings, who desperately seeks answers to the erratic behavior of his beloved. Will these two teenagers finally manage to be happy? Will they manage to overcome the prejudices of an era marked by homophobia? You will discover all this and much more at the end of this exciting love story.

La pelรญcula comienza con el final de la ley marcial la cual se derogo oficialmente en Taiwรกn en 1987, pero los directivos de la nueva escuela de A-han (Edward Chen) no quieren desprenderse del antiguo rรฉgimen. Eso no importa mucho pues nuestros protagonistas estรกn a punto de graduarse. Al principio vemos a A-han Ensangrentado, lleno de rabia y llorando, hablando abiertamente con el sacerdote de la escuela quien tambiรฉn es el profesor de mรบsica, el padre Oliver (Fabio Grangeon) el cual es la รบnica persona en la que A-han puede confiar verdaderamente. Justo allรญ hay un flash-back al aรฑo anterior, cuando A-han, reciรฉn trasladado, se acerca a Birdy (Jing-Hua Tseng) en una piscina comparten una especie de reconocimiento mutuo que serรก mรกs incรณmodo que cualquier otra cosa. Birdy logra mantener su homosexualidad en secreto pero es franco y rebelde, por lo que es objeto de burlas, bullyng y en un momento sufre de violencia al ser golpeado con un interruptor por el cruel director de la escuela que parece ser mรกs una cรกrcel, mientras esto ocurre A-han observa atรณnito la cruda escena.
Pronto causan algunos problemas juntos: A-han observa cรณmo Birdy orina en la ventanilla del carro del padre Oliver, luego se fugan en un autobรบs con destino a Taipei la capital de Taiwan, donde fingen llorar al difunto presidente Chiang y observan cรณmo las autoridades reprimen a un manifestante el cual lleva una pancarta en la que se lee "la homosexualidad no es una enfermedad".
Mientras pasa el tiempo, el colegio que antes solo aceptaba chicos comienza a aceptar chicas, pero las รณrdenes son mantenerlas separadas de los varones.

Todo esto y mucho mรกs lo descubrirรกs al final de esta emocionante historia de amor.

Patrick Kuang-Hui Liu turned his youthful anecdotes into a memorable film that so far is the highest grossing film he needed to be confined to last year, for his incredible early response to the Coovid-19 pandemic. The story is sustained by the tale of the director's first love who subtly captures the feelings at a time when being gay was a crime in his country.
Liu is a filmmaker of great visual quality who manages to pull off timeline twists effortlessly and with great wit. He nurtures a bittersweet tone, establishes a tactile sense of time and place, and sharply explores the connection between religion and sexuality through images that evoke much nostalgia. One senses that Liu was aiming for poignant drama, but he almost succeeds, as at times the internal suffering of the two protagonists renders the film meaningless. At times it manages to have moments of connection but because the piece is so long at times you lose interest in it.
I managed to enjoy the quiet scenes more than the violence expressed with little subtlety - for example, when A-han and Birdy break into the private screening room of a movie theater - they are much more functional scenes than the one showing the protagonists suffering in excess, it is good to know that the film is filled with many such scenes.
At times it seems to evoke the spirit of great pieces of LGBTIQ+ cinema it has a lot of Call me by Your Name but also Moonlight or Secret on the Mountain that are completely perceived.

Patrick Kuang-Hui Liu hizo de sus anรฉcdotas de juventud una pelรญcula memorable que hasta ahora es la mรกs taquillera en que necesitรณ estar confinado el aรฑo pasado, por su increรญble respuesta temprana ante la pandemia del Coovid-19. La historia se sostiene con el relato del primer amor del director quien plasmo de una manera sutil los sentimientos en una รฉpoca donde ser gay era un crimen en su paรญs.
Liu es un cineasta de gran calidad visual que logra realizar giros de lรญnea temporal sin esfuerzo y con un gran ingenio. Alimenta un tono agridulce, establece un sentido tรกctil del tiempo y el lugar, y explora con agudeza la conexiรณn entre religiรณn y sexualidad a travรฉs de imรกgenes que evocan mucha nostalgia. Se percibe que Liu aspiraba a un drama conmovedor, pero casi lo consigue, ya que a veces el sufrimiento interno de los dos protagonistas deja sin sentido a la pelรญcula. Por momentos logra tener momentos de conexiรณn pero al ser tan larga la pieza en momentos se pierde el interรฉs en ella.
Logrรฉ disfrutar mรกs de las escenas tranquilas que de la violencia expresada con poca sutileza -por ejemplo, cuando A-han y Birdy irrumpen en la en la sala de proyecciรณn privada de un cine- son escenas mucho mรกs funcionales que la que muestran a los protagonistas sufriendo en exceso, es bueno saber que el filme estรก lleno de muchas escenas de este tipo.
Por momentos parece evocar el espรญritu de grandes piezas del cine LGBTIQ+ tiene mucho de Call me by Your Name pero tambiรฉn Moonlight o Secreto en la Montaรฑa que son completamente percibidas.
My favorite scene happens while the police try to suppress the protest of a man who with a sign expresses many truths, this character is played by Chi Chia-wei, a Taiwanese activist who has been fighting for more than 30 years for LGBTIQ+ rights the cameo of this activist manages to move the guts of the most skeptical viewer.
Towards the end of the film you realize that it's not just any teen drama, in fact I don't think that's the right label to define Your Name Engraved Herein, I think it's more accurate to say that it's a film by a director who wanted to capture how he sees his first love from his perspective as an adult. At the very end, the main characters meet again as adults to say their last goodbye to the character of the father Oliver, a Canadian who particularly stole my heart with his performance.
Although the film does not deal much with the subject, it is obvious that Father Oliver suffered in his adolescence for being gay. I found that story immersed in the story very interesting, much more than the open ending where the protagonists walk the streets of the new world remembering those times of youth.
Mi escena favorita sucede mientras la policรญa intenta reprimir la protesta de un hombre que con un letrero expresa muchas verdades, este personaje es interpretado por Chi Chia-wei, un activista taiwanรฉs que lleva mรกs de 30 aรฑos luchando por los derechos LGBTIQ+ el cameo de este activista logra conmover las entraรฑas del espectador mรกs escรฉptico.
Hacia el final de la pelรญcula te das cuenta que no es un drama adolescente cualquiera de hecho no creo que esa sea la etiqueta correcta para definir a Your Name Engraved Herein, creo que es mรกs acertado decir que es un filme de un director que quiso plasmar como ve desde su perspectiva como adulto su primer amor. Muy al final los protagonistas se reencuentran ya mayores para darle el รบltimo adiรณs al personaje del padre Oliver un canadiense que a mi particularmente me robo el corazรณn con su interpretaciรณn.
Aunque no se trata mucho el tema en la pelรญcula es obvio que el padre Oliver sufriรณ en su adolescencia por ser gay. Esa historia inmersa dentro de la historia me pareciรณ muy interesante muchos mรกs que el final abierto donde los protagonistas recorren las calles del nuevo mundo recordando aquellos tiempos de la Juventud.
A lot of nostalgia arises while this is happening, definitely the ending was one of the best things that happened to me this year. I managed to enjoy that narrative arc and understand what the director wanted to convey. What Netflix left me owing was the dubbing, at the moment you can only find the original subtitled version, I'm not saying it was necessary, I'm a fan of listening to the content I see in its original language and this was the first production made in Taiwan that I have seen so far and it has left me with a good taste in my mouth.
Before I end I just hope you get to see this film which I think is loaded with many moments worth seeing beyond the fact that it has been critically acclaimed worldwide. The only review that matters at the end of the day is that of the audience and I was hooked. I give this masterpiece a 9.5/10.
Surge mucha nostalgia mientras esto sucede, definitivamente el final fue una de las mejores cosas que me ha sucedido este aรฑo. Logre disfrutar de ese arco narrativo y comprender lo que el director querรญa transmitir. Lo que si me quedรณ debiendo Netflix fue el doblaje por el momento solo se encuentra la versiรณn original subtitulada, no digo que hiciera falta soy fanรกtico de escuchar el contenido que veo en su idioma original y esta ha sido la primera producciรณn hecha en Taiwรกn que he visto hasta ahora y me ha dejado un buen sabor de boca.
Antes de terminar solo espero que logren ver este filme el cual creo que estรก cargado de muchos momentos que valen la pena ver mรกs allรก de que haya sido aclamada por la crรญtica mundial. La รบnica crรญtica que importa al final del dรญa es la del pรบblico y a mรญ me enganchรณ. Le doy un 9.5/10 a esta obra maestra.
