—I have a brother, and I think this is better.
- Why is it better?
——Because your brother will protect you. Once the boys bullied me, my brother beat them. He punched a lot because they scolded me. At that time we lived in our old house, he had the worst fight, everyone was afraid of him, and every girl liked him. But he doesn't like anyone, he only likes me.
This sentence made my heart soften, and it was so soft that it was about to melt.
Her brother is a girl.
It's been a long time since I saw a movie that really moved me, but this simple, clean and authentic French movie almost made me cry. Especially after her mother learned that Luo Er had been lying to her friends about her gender, and gave her that slap with a big belly and tears.
I was moved by the close relationship between "brothers and sisters" that I could never experience. After my mother found out the truth, the part of Jenny lying on the bed and asking Lorre to "guess a person", and the part of sticking a beard with the two sisters in the bathroom made my heart soften again. Little girl Jenny is so cute that it makes people feel pity and love, and she is so sensible that it makes people want to cry. And this "sensible" doesn't really understand everything she sees, not even her ten-year-old "brother". Jenny just used her clear eyes to see the situation of "brother" and to comfort "him" in her lovely way. And "he" just wants to be a boy, just wants to do what boys do, just likes Lisa. Others, "he" couldn't figure it out, and there was nothing he could do.
Moved by the kiss of the two clean children with no distractions. I like you, you like me, then we'll kiss. It's that simple. After Lisa found out that Luo Er was a girl, she was asked by the boy, "If she is a girl and you kissed her before, wouldn't it be disgusting?" She could only helplessly answer "it's disgusting". They don't understand, but they have a way. The solution is to obey, to grow. It's not sad. One day they will all grow up, and if they think back to this clean emotion, they will have a deeper feeling.
I am moved by Luo Er's innocence and the growth in this innocence. When she didn't understand the rules of the world, but was told to obey absolutely ethically, she discovered the conflict between the rules and her heart, and her heart told herself that she wanted to be a boy. So she took off her top and played football with the boys, cut her swimsuit to swim like a boy, kissed Lisa by the lake, and finally threw away the long dress her mother had forced her to put on in the woods. She chose to be a boy, and what she did was not a game for a ten-year-old child, she just listened to her heart. Reality will polish her heart, and she has a way - to obey, to grow. Slowly, her presence will become a mirror of the world and the dazzling light of her polished, crystal-like heart.
The inspiration comes from the simple and true plot, and from this quiet but thought-provoking story.
I'm reluctant to label this film a "sex" because none of these kids understand what love is, let alone same-sex love. Their eyes were still unable to shed the deep and deep tears of their mother's. In the face of growth, they have no choice but to obey; in the face of their heart's desire, they have their own naive way of thinking and have a way to face it all. This kind of growth, this kind of commitment, is enough to move people.
