Sorry, I only saw the artist's narcissism

As I have no resistance to LGBT-themed movies, as early as a year ago, when the stunning stills of little freckles wearing women's clothes began to circulate, I was sure that this was a must-see movie for me this year.
However, as soon as I finished the film, I wrote this review with great anxiety. Maybe it was because my expectations were too high, and my expectations were ten, but it only gave seven or eight points, and among these seven or eight points, the little freckles may have accounted for four of them. Five points, the other is the various gorgeous costumes and the picture of the movie, which is really too beautiful. In fact, I really want to see some fashion bloggers take out the clothes inside and make them popular. It is worth studying.
But to be honest, I don't feel much the confusion about the identity of the gender cognitively impaired person, the inner pain and tangle, and the process of finding oneself. Maybe the picture of the movie is so beautiful, the freckles are so beautiful, and the atmosphere of the artist's life is so beautiful that the director doesn't want to spoil the beauty of the movie. When everything was so beautiful, I only saw a bunch of young artists who kept trying to die, narcissistic stories, and, of course, finally made themselves into it.
Every frame of the little freckles, the women's clothes, the lipstick, the eyelashes, and looking at the pure face in the mirror, makes me think that maybe he really is not a gender cognitive disorder, nor does he really want to be a woman, but It is he who cannot refuse beauty. Don't forget that at the beginning, his wife praised him for being so beautiful, and then the actress came over and said that he was amazingly beautiful, and finally when it came to the part, it was even more attention. Women's clothing may be too much to satisfy the vanity, the artist's narcissism. Later, these paintings brought them greater fame, a sense of accomplishment, and more attention, which made them more immersed in this little game of cross-dressing. The sense of self-identity brought by social achievement is far more It is much bigger, and it gradually makes the little freckles feel that Lily is the body, a beautiful and flawless existence.
Because the transition from freckles to the second gender identity of women was too sudden, and after that, he continued to admire his own body, buy beautiful clothes, and dress up carefully. Everyone admires himself as a Model's painting. It makes me think that he is immersed in this material narcissism and cannot extricate himself.
And the other "Boys Don't Cry" with the same theme is much more cruel and real. I have really seen all kinds of abusive, perverted and murderous movies, such as "Su Yuan", "The Furnace", "Human Skin Inn", and "I Disgust" "Your Grave" is one of my favorites. Only this "Boys Don't Cry", I can't bear to watch it, and I haven't finished it. Maybe I'm a girl, and I feel this way so strongly that I can't bear such a cruel fate, and after watching "The Danish Girl", I decided to gather up the courage to watch "Boys Don't Cry", for no other reason, I Just want to know more to understand better.
