If you don't consider the real situation, the film's thinking is actually very narrow, why can't transgender people be gay? Why can't Lily fall in love with Gerda? Why is a real woman only married to a man and having children? In addition to applying lipstick and eyeliner, there is no other way to express women in the whole film?
Loving someone is beyond gender. It can be seen that even if Einar becomes Lily, Gerda still loves him, and even would rather change his sexual orientation than keep their love. But look at Einar after he became Lily, he has become willful and even rebellious, and even Gerda is not allowed to mention his past. Gerda's nostalgia made him angry, but in that era, how many people could accept transgender people? Especially can you accept that the people around you are transgender? Gerda supported him, but he felt she wasn't accepting it fast enough or fast enough. Comparing heart to heart, who can completely and quickly accept that his husband has become a woman in an era when everyone is against it? Gerda just needs time.
Einar became Lily, but still greedily wanted Gerda to be by his side, facing the pain that Gerda shouldn't have shared with him. If this film didn't have Gerda and Einar's marriage, or Einar took the initiative to divorce and help Gerda get out of their marriage after deciding to become Lily, or if the two stuck to each other's love beyond gender, I think this story would be better, Doesn't seem so selfish. People cannot live selfishly, we always need to be responsible for the people around us, especially when we have this responsibility.
Today's society needs to speak up for LGBT and transgender people. I think this is necessary and necessary, but when we criticize society to speak out for the disadvantaged, don't forget to measure the scale and ignore it in order to satisfy some wishes. The voice of another part of the people, after all, the two are not contradictory.
