“火岛”是经典重制成酷儿杰作

***本评论包含轻度破坏透***

适应经典会带来很多神经。不仅要尝试接近原始的伟大，而且还要添加一些使其独一无二和必要的，即使是首先进行改编。

幸运的是消防岛is not only a great adaptation, but a new LGBTQ+ film classic that beautifully translates queer culture to the screen, using its傲慢与偏见根源讲述一个关于种族，阶级和爱情的精湛故事。消防岛is the rare film that shows the best and worst of the queer community through a story told on queer terms.

消防岛is director Andrew Ahn’s third feature film, with the script by Joel Kim Booster also in his first starring role. The film is a rare rom-com that puts the power of its storytelling in its smaller moments, with its actors giving flawless performances, while still staying true to its queerness.

As we meet Noah’s best friend Howie, played by the exceptional Bowen Yang, along with their other chosen family, including Margaret Cho, Matt Rogers, Tomás Matos, and Torien Miller, we also meet the true Fire Island and the unfortunate truths of the gay scene dominated by white buff gay men looking for sex.

这部电影是在我们的叙述者和火岛的叙述者和指南诺亚（Noah）之后，这是长期的同性恋热点目的地，他得知这很可能是他的朋友在岛上的最后一次。

诺亚想在字面上和形象上出去爆炸，诺亚试图帮助他的好朋友豪伊（Howie）躺下，直到他们遇到詹姆斯·斯库利（James Scully）扮演的查理（Charlie），这是一位医生，他似乎太好了，同时将他的一群不友好的朋友带入诺亚（Noah）轨道。

诺亚（Noah比covid更普遍。

虽然我认为这部电影不需要叙述者，但它擅长展示当今的现实是一个酷儿人，在这种现实中，性爱和外表良好的身体占上风，作为力量，财富和白色的一切依据。

The film shows its teeth early on, with one character reciting the gross, but common Grindr bio adage "no fats, no femmes, no Asians" in the first couple of minutes, which may sound extreme to those not on Grindr, but very familiar to those anywhere across the world who have used it.

These searing tidbits picked from present-day gay culture are sprinkled constantly throughout the movie, threading the romance plots of Austen’s original work wonderfully with the eccentrics of modern queer life at its center.

作为一个同性恋者，有大量对现代酷儿文化的参考，这使我感到惊讶，仅仅是因为99.9％的电影永远不会接近参考。

这部电影充满了酷儿，即使是最奇怪的观众，这也会让人感到惊讶，因为它诚实地看着今天成为一个酷儿的人意味着什么。

It may not seem like Joel Kim Booster's first starring role or his first feature script, as his command of both roles is clear from the very beginning, but it's clear that he will be one to watch after this film.

Booster’s script is a wonderful mix of everything needed to make a good queer film, highlighting the little joys that queer people find, like counting down the sunset in ridiculous fashion, yet showing the harsh realities of it, like the heartbreak of Yang’s Howie, who feels lesser because he hasn’t had a boyfriend at 30 and doesn't fit the stereotypical mold he thinks he needs for true love.

Booster's role as our protagonist is great as well, mostly because he earns our praise, with his role not really taking flight until the sparks start to fly with Will, played by Conrad Ricamora, Charlie's uptight friend who spends a lot of energy making things hard for Noah's matchmaking dreams.

While it's clear the two will end up together, their story through the film goes from forced to genuine, with their queerness informing the hesitation amidst every character in this film. As Will, Ricamora gets the chance to trick the viewers into thinking this film will fall to rom-com trope hell, but soon shows that he is just trying to protect his queer family like Noah.

Bowen Yang and James Scully as Howie and Charlie, respectively, are utter perfection every moment they are on screen. Yang’s Howie represents a lot of queer people who feel like they are unwanted in the queer community, displaying a tempered anxiety around the privileges of the life that Charlie lives.

作为霍伊（Howie），杨创造了一个不是爱情人悲伤的人的角色，而是一个真正的酷儿人的代表，他想像其他所有人一样获得他的真爱。他统治着他所在的每个场景，毫无疑问是电影的亮点。

Scully as Charlie is instantly like a wholesome little kitten, making it so much easier for you to root for Howie and him to get together. Charlie's unaware authenticity provides a wonderful change of pace as a gay love interest, letting their pure intentions shine through.

The two’s chemistry helps carry the entire movie along, keeping you guessing about their future and becoming one of the primary driving forces behind this movie's greatness.

Unapologetically over-the-top characters in comedies can be dangerous. However, Tomás Matos and Matt Rogers as Keegan and Luke are two superstars every single moment they are on screen.

While the central plot keeps them to the sidelines, they eat up every moment of screen time they get and help you fall instantly in love with them and the rest of the cast. From Matos’ Keegan telling the sun “I’ll see you tomorrow, girl,” to Rogers’ throwing up in an awful man's vase, these two standouts will be ones to watch.

他们与演员阵容的其余部分一起将其全部付诸实践，这有助于浪漫情节很容易成为一部便宜的抛弃标志电影，成为了一个真正令人震惊的爱情故事。

Despite being based on a romance classic, the twists and turns of the story do not feel contrived, with the love feeling fresh and hopeful, something the gays do not get a lot of.

最终，这部电影将自己作为杰作而与众不同，不是因为它是基于经典的，而是因为它为酷儿创造一个全新的经典而超越了这一点。

以此为核心消防岛是对爱而不是鲜血选择的酷儿的庆祝活动，也是对LGBTQ+人们在有机会时可以创造的美丽世界的颂歌。经常在电影中被嘲笑的同性恋男人有机会在这部电影中发光，并展示了拥抱您的酷儿的力量。

我只能希望更多的电影制片厂会记得，并将这部电影现场直播为酷儿作品的一堂课，永远很重要。
