Denmark in the 1920s was nearly 100 years away from us now. Even if we now have more tolerance for gender-changing people like Venus, we are not surprised by Thai people, but it does not mean that we can I gladly accept that my husband will one day declare that he will become a woman, not to mention the past.
The public naturally does not understand it, and most doctors also treat this phenomenon as schizophrenia. This is a kind of dislocation and rectification of one's own gender cognition, and it is also a rediscovery of self.
Gender itself is a self-positioning minimum, labelled you from birth, an attribute that theoretically stays with you throughout your life. If you are a woman, you have all the characteristics of women, and you should think in an environment that women should be in; if you are a man, you will be given a strong and brave sustenance, and you should have masculinity to take more responsibilities. This has always been the division of labor.
But when your most basic cognition is misplaced one day, it is a force that subverts everything.
The Danish Girl is a biographical film that chronicles the short life of one of the earliest known transgender people in history, Lily Elber.
Einar and Gorda were not only college classmates, but also painters. As a male, Einar is slender, slender and shy, with a refined smile and a tolerant mind; Gorda once said in front of everyone that he recognized him early, kissed him actively back then, and even now is sure that he is the destined person.
What a beautiful love story it sounds like it is depicted in a fairy tale. At that time, when I saw you in the crowd, I felt the union in the dark, and the couple who are still in love after the seven-year itch, Ben. It should be envied and praised by everyone. I originally thought that life could be spent peacefully. Maybe they would have a lovely child, raise them together, and then accompany them all the way to the end of their lives.
It was she who found him in the crowd, and it was she who indirectly let him discover the other self hidden inside his body. Golda's female paintings were not recognized by the gallery. She was in a bad mood when she came home, and because the model was late, she asked her husband to put on stockings, ballet shoes and a dance skirt, and she fell asleep in Einar's heart in an instant. The gate of true gender, he stroked the edge of the dance skirt, as if he was stroking his own skin. In fact, there were early signs of all this. As a child, Einar was kissed by his good friend Hans because he wore his mother's apron. His inner femininity was expressed, but he was restrained by his strong father in time.
He started wearing Golda's pajamas, and she thought it was him to enhance the little fun between husband and wife, and even invited him to play women's clothes to attend events with her, and gave him a new identity: Lily Alber . The little freckled Einar's female outfit is not at all inconsistent and rough, but has his own coquettish charm. When Golda no doubt caught sight of her husband kissing another man, she was shocked, and seemed to realize that life was about to change.
She is of course unacceptable, Einar has multiple and important identities to her: husband, lover, confidant, partner, peer, soulmate and sex object. She reprimanded him with anger, and begged him tearfully, begging him to find herself back. The self here is the original he who is male. Einar's paintings of women dressed up by Golda were unexpectedly popular and sought after, and were even invited to a solo exhibition in Paris.
Originally thought that changing the environment would allow her husband to recover and start over, but Einar has since embarked on a road of no return. He played women more and more frequently and for longer and longer. He paid to watch striptease. The girls perform just to imitate their female movements, until finally the female identity reaches the skin itself, and women's clothing even exceeds the time of men's clothing. He's not a transvestite, he's not addicted to the thrill of cross-dressing; he's not gay either, which explains the grief that comes out of his door when he finds out that the man he loves likes a man.
He just wanted to be a real woman.
When he learned that there was a glimmer of hope that he could change gender through surgery, he was resolute and unwavering. He doesn't care about his wife Golda's pleading, he calls for his own identity, giving up painting, marriage, life, love. He completely overturned his original life and demanded to reinvent himself. He is selfish, and he is desperate.
Golda struggled, but ultimately chose to compromise and accompany.
After the initial surgery was successful, he started to become the real Lily. She went to get off work as a sales clerk, worked with perfume clerks after work, enjoyed her identity as a woman, and was promoted to supervisor in a short period of time. She and Golda slept in the same bed but were separated by a layer of curtains. She still did not give up and led Lily to think of the past, but she was violently resisted by Lily and rushed out. Golda loves "her", but her love is in vain, because her husband has since disappeared from the crowd, hoping that Lightspeed will become a woman like her.
In order to become a real woman, Lily Alber, the first person to eat crabs, bravely underwent one last operation to transplant her uterus into her body, but she was severely rejected after the operation and died soon after. Before Lily died, she told Golda, who was waiting by the side, that she had dreamed of her mother, and hoped to become a real woman, give birth to her own children, and become a mother.
She was just a man who simply wanted to be a woman, and because of a joke of God, she became a legend while becoming a pioneer in human medical textbooks.
