Lily was emphasizing her own essence, the deepest self in her heart until her death. Probably everyone has such a core. As we grow up, we will use various packagings-character, occupation, marriage, etc. to wrap that core. Some people's packaging can be icing on the cake, and always follow their own essence. However, there may be a large number of people who can only package themselves according to the so-called "majority", so there are many people who shout and want to find themselves.
The same goes for LILY, when he's wearing his grandmother's apron, when he's being "forced" by his wife to play a ballerina, when he's kissed by a man and he thinks it's time to run away, he's looking for it. It should be until the cry before the last operation that he truly embraced his core, he, she.
Audiences who have read the novel or know the intention of the film should think that the film is not deep enough, but I think this kind of film that tries to make a hearty, self-exploring film is very difficult in itself. Everyone has feelings for such a film. own understanding and expectations.
In fact, I have been thinking recently that people become insecure only after they have experienced some things. Or is it because people themselves have no sense of security, that leads things to develop into a "something".
Just like in the movie, LILY told her dear "wife" that choosing surgery was her only hope, even though death was behind this hope.
So is hope the only one, or is the choice the only one?
