Dear parents,
by now you've all heard of my joyful news and of my sad news. To be able to finally marry Benjamin Hull, my partner of almost 40 years, in a small ceremony here in New York was one of my happiest moment of my life. Unfortunately, later I found out that I could no longer continue to teach music at St.Grace's. Most of you and everyone at school knew that I was gay and that Ben was my lifelong partner. I've always had nothing but support from all of you. So I would like to thank you and to emphasize that I understand what happened is not the fault of St.Grace's and its leadership.
Above all, I urge you to have a conversation with your children about whether or not justice was served here. The last thing I want them to take from this is they should hide who they are or what they think if they believe it will get them into trouble.
1956年藍調組合Mickey & Sylvia有首著名的R&B金曲「Love is Strange」，歌詞裡寫到「一旦擁有了愛，就不想離開」。電影《Love is Strange》(2014)(港譯:流離所愛)中的「STRANGE」並不是單單指向怪異、更指向陌生，愛情世界當然奇怪，不然怎會有怨侶、分了手會復合，有一種叫因了解而分手，也有些感情開不了口。可以找到自己愛的人就有如中樂透，是萬幸了。在《流離所愛》之前，導演Ira Sachs早在第六十二屆柏林影展憑《為你流的淚》(前名:基情十年)(Keep the Lights On)而奪得同志電影的泰迪熊獎。
《基情十年》的自傳到老年人的憧憬
《基情十年》的故事背景是導演自身經歷的故事，半真半假，所以稱做半自傳式的故事。男同志的世界相對難以理解，特別是對關係的專一。有很多同志電影的背景都是與愛滋病、出軌有關，似乎這個現象在同志圈老是常出現。《基情十年》經歷的是兩種「癮」，男友的毒癮與愛情的癮。愛情的魔力由原來的形影不離到經歷傷害，拖拉了十年終於要分開，經歷了一場跨越時間的愛戀
安静有力，情感是欧美电影中少有的细腻，一般在韩国电影中才会有这么细致的情感，快结尾的时候（Subway）的那个镜头，我脑海里有无数个想法燃起，比如他们互相往回跑，然后拥抱相吻，可是没有，当然没有，因为他们都那么老了这么跑得起来。
可我万万没有想到的是死亡。在男孩去他们新公寓的时候我炽热的心情瞬间安静了，我想我是猜到了，不管男孩是愧疚还是什么，我觉得他一点都没有错，每个人青春期的时候都是那样，而重要的是成长。
就好比电影最后的镜头是背光对着夕阳，男孩女孩着一样的步伐前进，夕阳好美，而夕阳总是代表离开和再见，而年轻的活力却告诉这不是再见也不是愧疚和胆怯，我想最后的镜头告诉我的是成长。
2014推荐，爱很怪 Love Is Strange
