A Single Man

故事背景是1962年的南加州，主要描述了英籍中年教授乔治日常生活中的一天，与之相恋16年的同性爱人吉姆发生车祸不久，对于乔治的性取向，异性知己夏洛特表示理解，邻居斯壮克太太可以做到尊重，他的学生肯尼感到困惑，而更多人则表现出愤怒和鄙夷，但乔治对吉姆的怀念和其他痛失伴侣的人没什么区别。 业已出柜的导演Tom Ford皆在强调这一特殊群体和主流文化共通的部分，类似李安当[断背山]定义为爱情电影的苦心。 A Single Man is based on the novel of the same name by Christopher Isherwood. Set in Los Angeles in 1962, at the height of the Cuban missile crisis, it is the story of a British college professor (Colin Firth) who is struggling to find meaning to his life after the death of his long time partner. The story is a romantic tale of love interrupted, the isolation that is an inherent part of the human condition, and ultimately the importance of the seemingly smaller moments in life.
