Beautiful Chaos
You know what? I still can’t believe how much I like this movie.
Backstory: I had thrown this show in my “never to watch” BL list. (Yes, I have a list like that haha) Why? Well, cos I read the synopsis and thought “Infidelity? Hell no.” And on that note, let me just say, the synopsis isn’t really doing the movie justice. There’s more to this movie than you’ll read in the “about.”
Now, yeah I know it’s a manga adaptation and as someone who hasn’t read the manga and only watched the show… I love it.
Someone is probably thinking, “So, how did you end up watching this when you swore never to watch it?” Good thinking… it was on a Thursday evening when I had nothing else to watch and I was bored out of my mind , then I revisited my NTW list; this was the first show on the list.
And that was how I started it.
Let me just add that the title “The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese” is metaphorical. And this story is a metaphor that touches various sensitive themes.
Many people would interpret this story differently but what the story is to me is about a man who is inherently gay but unaware about his own orientation (hence never found satisfaction with women and always chooses infidelity) this man meets another man who is openly gay, and the openly gay man helps him figure out his romantic and sexual orientation.
And for the first time, the man who is gay and unaware found a reason to love and stay committed but he found it in another man.
TCMDOC has made it to my “Best JBL movies” list and found its place in my top 3.
If you’re like me and you’ve written this movie off, please watch it.
