1⃣️In a relationship, there is always a strong side (masculine) and a softer side (feminine). Masculinity and femininity are just comparisons, not true biological genders, and can be transformed into each other. In the Eninar stage, it is usually he who shows more male power (high artistic achievement, supporting Gerda); but in the Lili stage, she is shy and weak, and Gerda starts to take care of her (tough, breadwinner, smoking). A lot of details and micro expressions are well displayed.
2⃣️Reminds me of "Mr. Butterfly", which is also a story about gender cognition (but there are more topics about "deception and self-deception"). Song Liling's love has elements of desire to be forced and dramatic, which results in gender transformation; and the ambassador finally played the role of gender transformation before dying, completing the play with life, which is despair, self-deprecating, and a desolate farewell. gesture. This film well reflects the concern and concern for LGBT, but it is not deep enough to explore the origin of gender. Lili's sudden awakening is only due to the fact that she was born with consciousness in her childhood and was born female, without a deeper interpretation.
3⃣️Actually, I think the stories of the painters and couples in reality are more dramatic, but the scale is indeed larger, and Gerda is not a good wife. It can even be said that she induces and condone Einar's femininity. Lili is her inspiration muse (cash cow?), Einar and Lili are her companions (both spirit and body). This story has a more artistic sense of hurricane.
