Claire and Laura are good friends who have been playing together since childhood, and they have entered the palace of marriage respectively. Laura died after giving birth. Claire and Laura's husband David are in the pain of losing Laura.
When Claire went to visit David, who had lost his wife, he was surprised to find that David was a transvestite. When I saw David, who was wearing a women's dress and breastfeeding Lucy, turned amazingly around in the movie, the women's dress was worn on a big man, but I didn't feel the slightest sense of contradiction. At a loss, David even gives people a kind of weak, isolated and helpless emotions that are generally only manifested in women. Claire's unique habit of David turned from being unbelievable at first to accepting.
Virginia-Carlisle's new name for David dressed as a woman. The two also gradually switched between the identities of Virginia and David with ease. Claire also went shopping with Virginia on vacation. The two were also immersed in this kind of happiness and couldn't help themselves, but Claire suddenly stopped the game. In this film, Claire once dreamed of kissing her friend Laura. So I think Claire has a kind of affection for Laura that is similar to homosexuality. Claire grafted this emotion to Virginia, who was David dressed as a woman's dress. Claire's husband discovers that she has been with David. Claire has to lie that David is gay and he needs comfort. David stopped pretending to be a woman and played tennis at the invitation of Claire's husband. In the tennis lounge, Claire took a peek at David and her husband who were taking a shower, and imagined the same-sex relationship between David and her husband. This imaginary sex scene arranged by the director may be to show that sex is not limited to two people with male and female physiological characteristics, it can exist between any sex. This sexual desire is relative and not specific.
Claire told David that she missed Virginia. In this way, we can see Claire's same-sex affection for Laura. In Claire's heart, Virginia has become a new girlfriend. She made up for the vacancy that Laura had lost. When Virginia and Claire were about to have a relationship, Claire pushed him away. At this moment, Claire felt that Virginia couldn't replace Laura, he was just a transvestite, not a real woman, and left in a hurry. The heartbroken Virginia hurried across the road and texted Claire, saying: I am a woman, so I was knocked to the ground by an oncoming car.
The movie is only 104 minutes, not very long. But the intricate relationship is mixed with love and desire between the same sex, the opposite sex, and transvestites. At the same time, it shows us that love and gender do not only exist in specific genders. Maybe you are born a man or a woman, but the real man or woman is not determined by your physical characteristics, but by your acquired behavior. Similarly, love does not necessarily exist between men and women with physical characteristics. He may be a choice made by your acquired sex behavior. So get rid of the shackles of your physical characteristics. Follow your own heart. Nothing is prescribed.
At the end of the plot, Claire puts on a women's dress for David, who is in a coma, and wakes David with Virginia. David also lived on as a woman.
At the same time, this movie uses katy perry's songs as an interlude which is also surprising. It reminds me of katy perry's I kissed a girl and Ur so gay, which coincides with the theme of this movie and has a profound meaning.
In my mind, this is a very good movie. Your gender is yours.
