As a kind of attention unit in Cannes, I have long heard that it is a masterpiece. After reading the introduction, I am even more convinced. This time, the Beijing Film Festival turned out to be a giant screen theater screening. I was really surprised that I had never seen the world. A movie is enough to cure all unhappiness -- the regret that friends can't come together.
During the viewing of the movie, I was indeed inspired to feel and think countless times.
About youth and growth. Lala's father said, enjoy your youth, youth will pass if you don't pay attention. Doctors have expressed similar meaning. Lala is contradictory, with a shy smile and soft voice, as beautiful as ice and snow, but her heart is strong and stoic. Only 16 years old, her hard work is loved and admired. She has been praised secretly more than once, she is too beautiful, she is already so beautiful, but she still cannot satisfy the status quo. Her impatience is a reflection of every teenager's desire for accelerated growth.
On self-identity, family identity and social identity. Between the three, it seems that family identity is no longer a problem, while self-identity and social identity are always in an unstable state, which is why this film contains implicit tension. Family members, doctors and teachers kept encouraging her, telling her that she was fine, but apparently she couldn't think of it as "good". The classmates have shown great tolerance to her, but after all, they cannot fully understand her feelings. The curiosity of the teenager hurt her, and the accumulation of setbacks pushed her step by step to the end - that decision.
She is already brave.
She is also lucky. As her father said.
She has been lucky enough to have mature surgery to make her a real girl.
From "The Danish Girl" to "The Girl," the sacrifices are different, and "The Girl" goes a step further than "Dan" in that -- identity comes not just from gender, but from social identity -- you want what kind of person to become. All Lala's hard work is not only to become a "girl", but to be a "female ballerina" to be exact.
Lala has too many symbols on her body. Her actions are completely girly, and her roles at home are also traditional women's "duties", cooking and housework (wife's duty), and taking care of her younger brother (mother's duty). Lala not only symbolizes the awakening of gender, but also a deeper awakening after becoming a woman-the persistent pursuit of dreams, unwilling to let herself be imprisoned at home to become a wife and mother, a subordinate of others.
"Girl" takes two steps step by step, a gesture of great strides forward.
