With the British exquisite Danish fairy tale

Saw the movie three days before its release. Although it is an unsubtitled version, I try my best to understand the film. Another movie that uses LGBT themes as a gimmick. British films in recent years have been particularly good at this. From last year's "Imitation Game" to "Danish Girl" at the end of 2015, the entire British film industry seems to have a great tendency to shout for LGBT equality and reflect on the past. The styles of the two films are very similar. With the nobility of England and the delicate sense of character, the stories are portrayed as works of art, which makes people feel that they are really appreciating works of art rather than real life. The protagonist and life seem to be far and near, and I feel that the whole plot is designed for him (strictly speaking, "she"), there are too many ideal plots, and the psychological depiction is too frequent, giving people a kind of deliberately creating dramatic conflicts The feeling is very exaggerated and unnatural. This is a characteristic of many British works, and of course is inseparable from their history and traditional culture. But making the "Danish girl" a Victorian aesthetic is a bit of a British label. Eddie Redmayne does have a solid foundation in drama, which may be why he has been acting in biographical films for the past two years. He played this Danish fairy tale so British that it is suitable for young people to appreciate it.

Gerda Wegener: It's hard for a man to be looked at by a woman. Women are used to it, of course, but for a man to submit to a woman's gaze - it's unsettling. Although I believe there's some pleasure to be had from it, once you yield.
