Tom Hooper's top narrative work is "The King's Speech", and the most extreme representative of artistic expression is "Les Miserables".
By comparison, The Danish Girl is a weak cup of tea. At the beginning of the taste, it is the touch of water, which paved the way for the story; the more and more intense, the mixture of astringent tastes came too quickly to be discerned; after slowly receding, the distant end.
As for the film, its climax centers on the protagonist's enlightenment, the game of temptation, and the rebellious revealing of himself. Other follow-up, I have no more thoughts and feelings.
The male and female protagonists contributed wonderfully colliding opposing scenes around the 35 minutes of the movie's beginning. Forbearance but polite dialogue, tears in eyes but not scratches...
-Another headache?
-It's nothing.
-Can I get you something?
-I am fine.
-Maybe you should see a doctor.
-I am fine !...
The soundtrack sounded, with the female lead pretending to be calm as she cut vegetables, the male lead was shivering and smoking a cigarette, trying to focus on painting, but he couldn't control his emotions, snuffed out the cigarette and left. This scene is so wonderful... The performance, photography, editing, and soundtrack are all in place... Oh my god, I really watched it over and over again.
This is also the pinnacle of Eddie Redmayne's emotional inhibitions in the film, and what I see in his face afterward is dullness.
By contrast, I think it's the heroine, Alicia Vikander, who holds up the whole movie. Both the actors and the characters are complete. She inspired the female soul in the male protagonist, led him to explore, confronted him for a time, and finally sent him to the operating table. She is the backbone of the drama, the backer of the characters in the movie, and the most comforting harbor for the male protagonist when he is helpless. Her strength exemplifies the tolerance and strength of women. I like this character very much.
Writing this, I find that the reason I find the sequel Eddie Redmayne boring is because he gets to the end of the movie and actually becomes a woman. And I am very disgusted with men whose faces are feminine but their demeanor... At the end of the film, the hero's bravery and contribution to the transgender community are commended in the form of subtitles, but I think he is selfish. He was bent on becoming a woman, which is called the wrong birth. He can say decisively to his wife who has slept in bed with him for 6 years: "I used to be dead, and we all need to start a new life. I need it, and you need it too." So he tried to seduce other men ( Ben Whishaw = =...). Do you think your wife can't break down? Pity how much she loves him (her)... To help him (her) achieve her dream, and she never thought about how lonely she would be in the future... She handed her silk scarf to the hospital bed with tears in her eyes. He (she), promised his (her) last wish and brought him (her) to the sun... This wife is too great.
In fact, this is a dislike for the male protagonist, but from the man's body, dressing up as a woman, exposing the lower body, kissing with men... Eddie Redmayne's mode of going all out has contributed to a very great performance.
The film gives the protagonist a maternity glow at the last moment. Kind of weird. Before a change has begun, another possibility is talked about, which is very strange.
Talk about Oscar prospects.
The nominations for the male protagonist Eddie Redmayne and the soundtrack have been stabilized, and the female protagonist Alicia Vikander needs to work harder on PR, but if the female protagonist is turned into a female supporting role to declare, then the female supporting nomination is stable (this role was nominated for this year's Golden Globe Awards) the female lead project, and the Screen Actors Guild nominated the female supporting project). The best picture is not good, because overall the film is really bland. To win the award, the male protagonist is blocked by Xiao Lizi Fasha, the soundtrack is blocked by Carol, the female protagonist has no credits, and if you mention the female supporting role, there are Mara, Fei Wen, and even Alicia's own "Ex Machina". In this way, "The Danish Girl" is also a material for nominations.
PS: Last year was a small year, is this year still a small year? Or have I not seen the real masterpiece yet? ? ?
