At home, I watched "Heroism", which was nominated for best actress, best picture, best make-up and other Oscars. The plot is simple, with delicate emotions, and no intense or ambiguous parts to attract the audience. It is about a woman, under the pressure and influence of a long-term menswear life, how she changed her sexual orientation and the concept of "I am a woman" from the heart. This movie is like the usual vision and standards of the Oscar judges, and it is very maddening, because it takes 90 minutes to say something that can be said in 10 minutes.
These are not the main points. The main point is that there is only one plot that impressed me: the protagonist (I really don’t know if it’s the heroine or the heroine) and another friend who is completely disguised as a man (because of him/her, we only watched it) After coming out, the protagonist is a woman, and they have maintained a friendship afterwards), and put on a female skirt made by a friend's wife (a woman who was a tailor who died of typhoid fever). Two women who are accustomed to men's attire are wearing beautiful dresses, standing in front of the gate with their hands bound, with low eyebrows and pleasing to the eye. They dare not look at the world with women’s eyes, let alone look at themselves. They are like frightened rabbits. The appearance of wanting to escape at any time. At this moment, the English gentleman appeared, don't worry, he is soy sauce, not handsome, and nodded to the two ladies. The wooden but stiff response was only returned to others after the two of them were dumbfounded for a second or two.
This scene is fleeting, and there seems to be nothing to mention. However, it is this inconspicuous little plot that makes my heart pierced: forgetting how sad it is to be! People often say, be yourself and don’t care about the eyes of others. This is a ridiculous fallacy after all: people live in the eyes of others, otherwise, women would not buy clothes that make them beautiful, and men would not show their own spirit. The more frightening thing is that once this psychology becomes inertia, it will never get back on track. Another line of the film is that Albert kept keeping accounts in his little book, more than 600 pounds, enough for a woman to live a good life, and enough for her to change back to women's clothing, get married and have children. But at this time albert has completely turned into a man who is neither male nor female: she says she is a man, but she does not have the graceful self-control of a gentleman, nor the rude and unrestrainedness of the ordinary folks; she does not admit it when she says she is a woman, and is in Sexually, he is already a man. Maybe Albert knew what was going on, but she didn't want to change, and she couldn't control herself, only struggling helplessly through each day in the surprise eyes and whispers of others.
Yes, struggle, every day is a torment. Some people say that being alive is a practice. There is no talk in the movie, but a frustrating scene after another to make you feel tormented. Watching a movie is a torment, and throwing into the protagonist's emotions is a torment, but when you wake up, think about it, isn't your life a total torment that never ends?
I recalled the two women wearing women's clothing, but standing stiffly at the gate like marionettes. page (another woman who pretended to be a man, albert’s friend and inspiration) encouraged her to win her life and find her own Catherine (page’s wife, a seamstress, died of typhoid fever and made women’s clothing for them before her death) . Albert seemed to be touched, and the two went to the beach for a stroll-this is Albert's dream: to buy a small house by the beach and live here with his favorite woman, Helen. After recovering from the women's clothing, she ran on the beach happily, with Page following behind. However, before running a few steps, Albert tripped over the skirt and fell miserably. With this fall, the courage and determination she finally mustered disappeared without a trace, let's go back to her previous life! Perhaps, running free is not suitable for me, only depressive suffering is the life I should live. When a person stays in an environment for a long time, even if she returns to the utopia constructed in her heart, it will be hell.
Man is a strange animal. On the one hand, it is a perfect utopia, but on the other hand, it cannot be separated from hell. What's even stranger is that people have a special ability to turn any kind of utopia into a hell on earth at any time, self-suffering. This is the predicament, the predicament of life. This is the reason and the reason why the human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant.
People often discuss the goodness of human nature and the evil of human nature. In fact, human nature comes from the most instinctive sense of security in one's subconscious mind. You know, in the process of human evolution, how much courage is needed to go from the tree to the underground? Because, on the ground, moving with two limbs is far more dangerous than moving with four limbs on a tree. It is also because of this that talents are sensitive to everything around them, so they rely on but don't trust others. They work in teams and at the same time attack each other. This is us, human beings, humble and pathetic, eternally looking for a sense of security.
The audience may wonder: Is Albert a male or female? Well, at the end of the film, Albert’s fate is revealed: for the beloved woman helen, she fought with helen’s boyfriend and finally became a man. However, the power of physical determination reflects the difference: in the fight, She was thrown away and hit the wall with her head. She was shocked to death. One story quietly ends, and another story quietly unfolds. However, no matter how the story changes or is different, the tragedy of human nature will always exist.
Oscar's recent makeup was still not given to this movie, but to Aunt Mei's "Iron Lady". I feel aggrieved, because the unsuspecting person cannot tell the gender when the director deliberately concealed it. Among them, the best makeup is not the protagonist, but the supporting role page. However, as the title says: male and female are easy to argue, difficult to get out of dilemma. Since you can't get out of the eternal predicament that you have set for yourself and mankind, what is the point of distinguishing males from males?
