The Place | |
| God's Own Country / int_1c21e3fb | comment |
The Place: A roundabout example of this. "God's Own Country" is a phrase coined for places supposedly favored by God, Yorkshire being one of them. | |

The Quiet One | |
| God's Own Country / int_1da5941e | comment |
The Quiet One: Johnny talks very little, especially early on, and his responses are often single words. Gheorghe mocks him for this, asking if the only words he known are swears or slurs. As he becomes more intimate with Gheorghe, he becomes a bit more talkative. But even in the reunion scene at the end, Johnny struggles to say what he means or even openly apologize to Gheorghe. | |

| God's Own Country / int_25bc8511 | comment |
Generation Xerox: Implied and discussed by Johnny's grandmother. Her comment to Johnny when he overworks himself after Gheorghe left indicates that his father's stroke happened from him overexerting himself after Johnny's mother left. She feared that the same thing would happen to him. | |

Character Development | |
| God's Own Country / int_3b113b7 | comment |
Character Development: At first, Johnny doesn't seem to care much about, or rather sick of, farm work by the way he constantly goes to bar getting hammered or has sex with strangers to cope up. After spending time with Gheorghe and his father's second stroke, he shows much more willingness to work, doing tasks without his father or anyone else reminding him to even after Gheorghe abruptly left. | |

Gay Cruising | |
| God's Own Country / int_3d0e614c | comment |
Gay Cruising: Johnny is shown to regularly engage in anonymous hookups in public bathrooms and trailers, where the sex completely lacks affection or eye contact. The film treats Johnny's love of cruising as emblematic of his emotional repression and delinquent attitude. Once he falls in love with Gheorghe, he starts to become more open, but their relationship suffers when Johnny reverts to his old ways and hooks up with a random guy in a pub bathroom while Gheorghe is in the other room. | |

Volleying Insults: After their first night, having realized that Johnny is not good with people, Gheorghe cheerily calls him a freak. Johnny in turn calls him a fag, amusing Gheorghe even more. They repeat this later during their reconciliation scene, indicating that their attachment is still there. | |

Open-Minded Parent: Johnny's grandmother is surprisingly fine with her grandson having relationship with Gheorghe, even after knowing it from a relatively weird waynote she discovered a used condom in Johnny's room. She doesn't outright tell Johnny that she knows, but she reminds him that Gheorghe is there to help with the farm. She also correctly suspects Johnny is the reason Gheorghe left, and isn't too happy about it. Johnny's father is suspicious but not overly bothered when seeing his son and Gheorghe playing around together and eventually gives his tacit approval for the relationship following his second stroke. | |

Follow in My Footsteps: The source of Johnny's conflict. He doesn't want to do farm work and only does so reluctantly, but has no choice because of his father's post-stroke condition and his grandmother's age. He gradually accepts his responsibility over time and when his father has another stroke which debilitates him for life, he's willing to shoulder everything in his own way. | |

Real Men Hate Affection | |
| God's Own Country / int_dc1b3fb6 | comment |
Real Men Hate Affection: At the beginning of the film, Johnny hates affection, refusing to kiss the men he sleeps with. This seems to run in the family, as his father never shows him any affection and only communicates to him by yelling about farmwork Johnny needs to do. This is true even after he returns from his near-fatal second stroke, though he does give Johnny his tacit approval in a rare moment of connection. Over the course of the movie, Gheorghe teaches him to open up. | |
