This story of this movie felt very important to tell. It is set in 1987, at the end of the martial period in Taiwan and shows the brutal reality of that era, the discrimination and the protests. The relationship that it depicts in that context, felt super powerful and underlined by a very solid writing.

I'm not sure the epilogue was really that needed, as it made me take a slight stepback in terms of emotions...But other than that it was extremely impressive in its writing, showcasing a strong militant point of view and well constructed. The acting was excellent, the production was really good at featuring the social context of the story and the OST was very fitting, even if I was not necessarily the biggest fan of one particular song.

I would recommend this to people that are looking for an impactful coming-of-age story set in a rough period of time.
