Abandoned children, inherited children

"Adapted from real people, the characters are based on British Steve Bateman. Today's British comedies have strong inspirational colors, but inspirational and non-rigid, they have to take some winger paths. "It’s about six men who were forced by life to take a striptease and regain their confidence through this experience; "Calendar Girl" is about a couple of old women shooting a nude calendar in order to help their friends raise money, through this Witness the friendship and confidence of women. Both of the above two films linger on the boundary of social morality. Now this "Boots" is the same, but this time it has nothing to do with nudity, but involves transvestism. Transvestite may be many people. I can’t accept this kind of behavioral habit, and I think it’s abnormal. In fact, there is also a kind of gender confusion behind the transvestism, that is, the boy's body and the daughter's mind, or vice versa. Watch "Pluto's Breakfast" is another example, this habit Those who have encountered this habit either congenital or acquired, or like sexual orientation, they must also have enough courage to face their own choices.

Laura, who made a stunning appearance in "Boots", has a majestic body like a boxer, but He is a 100% transvestite, or a drag queen. He opened a bar, where he is a queen, there is a paradise for drag lovers, they don’t need to care about ordinary people’s eyes, because there they It's normal. At the beginning of the film, a black girl with pigtails and a pair of red high heels dances on the shore. Suddenly there is a sound of beating on the glass window of the cabin behind her. It is her father. The little girl hurriedly replaced the red shoes. , Her father scolded her—it turned out that this "little girl" was Laura. The

film began to trick the audience slyly, and the scene turned to the childhood of the male protagonist Charlie. Not sure whether this was the director’s deliberate arrangement, and told two stories one after another. The childhood of this "male protagonist" formed a contrast, which also paved the way for the encounter and contradiction between the two of them. Charlie was the hope of his father, and his father taught him how to make shoes. Charlie also subtly formed an inescapable inspiration for shoes. And a sense of mission for the family industry.

Because of the death of Charlie's father, Charlie was forced to inherit the shoe factory that was on the verge of bankruptcy, but the old market route made it difficult for the shoe factory to thrive. Just as Charlie was frustrated, he met Laura and let him develop the idea of ​​making shoes for the transvestite. However, the effect of the boots made Laura very dissatisfied. Only then did Charlie realize that for women, the heels of boots are just like sex, but the wide-bucket flat-heeled boots he made are very vulgar and have no heels. Beauty. In order to make the perfect boots, Charlie decided to let Laura stay and help design them. But the appearance of Lola attracted the attention of other workers in the factory, and even provoke him.

In order for Laura to be able to integrate into the factory, he removed the heavy makeup and wig and entered the factory with a simple appearance. This change made him unhappy, and when Charlie was about to comfort him, Laura told her past. Laura's father had already severed his father-son relationship, because his father had always hoped that his son could become a masculine boxer, but unexpectedly turned into a male and female guy. Ironically, his father had gotten involved with a homosexual before he died. This contrasting irony not only appeared on Laura, but also Charlie. While he was preparing for the Milan Shoe Fair, his girlfriend told him that his father had already decided to sell the shoe factory. Charlie wanted to inherit his father's business, just like his father's wish, but his father did not intend to do so. Or it was the two contradictory and similar experiences between Laura and Charlie that made them meet.

The ending of the film is of course beautiful, although Charlie yelled at Laura and made a fool of himself. Laura forgave him and gave a stunning performance on the shoe show T stage.

I really want to praise Chiwetel Ejiofor, the black actor who plays Lola. I really don’t recognize him as a black waiter in "The Beautiful Bad Thing", nor can I recognize him as an engaged man and woman with Keira Knightley in "True Love Is First". . In this film, he is quite rightly acting as a transvestite, a little arrogant and a little inferior, kind and cute.

This film also has to strike a blow at the conservative British people, let the audience realize some beauty that they can't understand. In fact, it is not only the British, but also most people from other countries. For some morally sensitive and unacceptable things, everyone is resistant to negation, and this will lead to the development of things in a bad direction.

There is a very warm and heartwarming part of the film. When Lola was sleepy, the landlord knocked on the door. Lola hurriedly put on a wig to avoid being recognized by the old man as a man. Unexpectedly, the old man recognized it a long time ago, and asked Laura "Are you a boy?" Laura had to answer honestly, thinking that the old man would be furious, the landlady naturally reminded him of the toilet board. Lola was really dumbfounded at the time, and a burst of warmth made him feel the loveliness of this southern old town.
