It wasn't until I saw "trans America" ​​on the cover of the dvd that I realized it was a legendary road movie... In contrast, the Chinese translation is more reliable, because I didn't feel that the journey across the United States was not good for the father and son. What is the impact of the development of the story between them~~ Met a bad guy, was stolen a car, met a good guy, stayed overnight, that's all... How did Toby's love for this conservative old lady come about? No explanation; how did Toby fall in love with this strange aunt with a dick after feeling cheated? No explanation; what influence did the uncle cowboy have on them? Can't see it; Toby's strange sexual orientation doesn't make it clear, what's wrong with this child? ...

Actually, the idea of ​​the movie seems to be good, at least the rich cover and story introduction are quite interesting, but unfortunately the whole story is very weak, it seems that the story is told for the sake of storytelling, and there is nothing that can stand up to the plot behind the plot. do support. Is the study of transgender psychology a success? I can only say that Hoffman's acting is still great. At the beginning of the film, before going to the pre-surgery consultation, he carefully dressed up a very symbolic female image (oh, pink, pink, pink), and then faced the The mirror opened a happy and anxious smile - this expression is really in place! So much so that I have high expectations for the film. Then, in the face of the fact that "she" once fathered a boy, how does he deal with it from the perspective of a quasi-transgender person? At first, he only wanted to do everything he could to get rid of Toby, but when he learned of his son's misfortune, he took him on the road helplessly, enduring his rudeness, frivolity, and anger... I only regret that because of the well-known gibberish wife , I knew that Hoffman was a woman, and so lost a lot of the feeling of seeing him as a man. In my opinion, Bree is just a conservative aunt, maybe the director meant to show stanly's excessive imitation of women's behavior. All in all, the story is still the same. There are good people and bad people, friends to support, family members to oppose, even the situation of transgender people - living in a world full of contradictions.

It should be said that the highlight of the film should be the relationship between bree and toby, using this as the starting point to flash a spark that is different from similar themes in the past, but unfortunately it failed. No, it should be said that it was a failure. The line is not working at all, it's muddled and stuffy.
