All the mistakes start with Lisa asking what your name is, and the film ends with Lisa asking Laura what your name is, but the end of the film doesn't end the audience's imagination of the character development, Laura's in a new place. The new life really begins at the end of the film. Laura did not submit to the outside world, but followed her own heart. Lisa also accepted Laura again... There
are not many contradictions in the whole movie, and it is weakened in the end. This is a warm and forgiving movie.
The first is Laura's deception. No matter how he cheated, his original intention remained the same, that is, he really wanted to be a boy, which eased his crime of cheating his friends a lot, at least he didn't deliberately play with his friends' feelings. However, his apology was also necessary, for not explaining the situation to his friends at first, and for making Lisa fall in love with him under unknown circumstances. And here, I have to admire Laura's courage. She was dragged by her mother and had no preparations to reveal the fact that he was a daughter, which he did everything possible to hide, and in front of Lisa. It takes so much courage to imagine.
The second is the conflict between Laura and her mother. My mother is a brave person, and she will face the problem bluntly and frankly. Laura is also unusually docile in front of her mother. Even if she beat other children to protect her sister, she docilely apologized at her mother's request. However, in the forest, she hung the women's clothes that her mother asked to wear on a tree, and after wearing women's clothes in front of everyone, she abandoned the women's clothes that symbolized women's characteristics. Laura faced herself honestly and gave up her will to follow her mother. The conflict between the two of them was not overemphasized in the film. Maybe the mother thinks that these strange thoughts will disappear as the child gets older, so there is no too much concern?
Finally, when Laura was surrounded by her friends to tell him the truth, he still cried. He was still crying despite being taciturn and taciturn. A strong resistance from the outside world prevented him from doing what he wanted. Maybe he started to be confused and wondered if he was wrong. At this time, Lisa still couldn't accept the fact that Laura was a girl and couldn't forgive him. The only one on his side is his lovely sister. Maybe at some point only innocent children who are ignorant of the world can show beautiful qualities.
This is a warm and tolerant work, as it was said at the beginning, so the ending is clear, the beginning and the end are corresponding, and Lisa's understanding has allowed Laura to start a promising new life.
The whole work conveys an atmosphere of tolerance and warmth to the audience. Let me also start to look forward to their future life, and have some blessings...
