Start: Albert just wants to save enough money to leave that ghost place. The hotel stubbornly waiting to be painted, the snobbish Mrs. Baker, a group of faceless guests.
Turning point: The appearance of Mr. Page reveals Albert's identity as a woman. What was even more surprising later was that Mr. Page turned out to be a woman, and married another seamstress. Albert couldn't resist his inner curiosity. When he saw Mr. Page's life, Albert revealed his heart, telling him that he had been abandoned and raped before he concealed his sex and humiliation. Become a man, save money, be silent, count money, work, save money. But now, Albert began to imagine that he might have a life like Mr. Page. Albert can't live with a man, so maybe she can be with another woman as well? So Albert began to use fantasy to build a good life on Helen, who he thought was good. He had his own tobacco shop and his hostess sitting and waiting on the upper floor of the shop.
To undertake: Helen is a stupid and ignorant woman who falls in love with an incompetent, rude but handsome scum. A search pit tricked Albert into sharing his savings. After the American dream and lies were shattered, Helen became pregnant. After a typhoid fever killed many lives, Albert miraculously recovered and listened to Mr. Page. If there is something worthy of nostalgia in your life, you must fight for it. So Albert paid a deposit for the rent of the tobacco shop, expressing that he would take care of Helen and her children.
Ending: Albert hit the wall while pushing against the scum. He walked into the room silently, unable to insert the key into the lock. Lying on the bed, blood flowed from the ears. Albert lay quietly, with yearning in his eyes and the fantasy in his mind-upstairs in the tobacco shop, the breeze opened the curtains, everything was so beautiful. Albert is dead. Helen only found out the next day that his face was already pale, and Albert, whose breathing had stopped, died silently and silently, just as he did before his death. Mrs. Baker found Albert's accounting books, shamelessly stole all the savings that ALbert had accumulated through depression and hope throughout his life, and renovated the hotel. Helen named his child Albert, and at the end it hinted that Page would take care of Helen and her child.
The whole movie has the power of nuclear energy, which makes me feel sad so calm, so deep, depressing, and lasting. In the film, I think the real climax is that Mr. Page and Albert are running on the beach wearing women's clothes. Albert returned to his gender for a moment, released his inner depression, and became a woman for a while until he tripped over his dress. It may have been implicitly pointed out here that Albert is not used to or can't be a woman anymore.
In fact, Albert may not necessarily like women. Although it is not stated throughout the article, Albert's painful experience in her youth made it impossible for her to get close to a man, let alone build a life of hope and hope. So when she becomes a man, she can survive seemingly rough and strong. Meeting Page was a turning point in her life, bringing her hope, but it also became the fuse of her ultimate tragedy. She felt that she could become the so-called stronger one, marry a woman, take care of a woman, and find hope in a desperate life like Page. But Albert failed. The end of her life and the disillusionment of her hopes were the same as her loss of her own gender. She was completely desperate.
After watching the film, I was depressed, but I didn’t even know who I should hate in the film, the rapists, the bad guy who pushed Albert to the wall and caused Albert’s death, or the one who stole Albert’s hope in the end. Mrs. Baker saved? Why did Albert fail to pursue hope and became a victim of the pursuit of hope. The rape, abandonment, and poverty in his youth did not kill Albert, and typhoid fever did not kill Albert. Although the rupture of the skull and the wall was the direct cause of Albert's death, it was the shattered hope that killed Albert, right? Although she was still fantasizing when she died, it made me feel that she couldn't interpret it as Albert or she didn't give up. I think this is a very cruel thing. The fantasy at that moment was actually Albert trying to give himself the last bit of warmth.
This should be the saddest movie I have ever seen this year.
