Before Night Falls

This movie describes a young gay Cuban poet and novelist Reynaldo Arenas, suffered from the government’s double persecutions due to his rebellious novel and his sexual-orientation, and finally escape to the US. In a communist and cultural-conservative country, government can’t stand a different voice towards policy and minority sexual-orientation, and those are the reason for the tragedy life of Arenas. This movie reminds me China, my country not only control people’s speaking, but also is conservative for LGBT people. There is still a long road for China to be more inclusive for different voice. I am willing to contribute to a more various and open environment.
