be yourself

Marked the two most anticipated films in December 2015, although I was also looking forward to Xiao Li, but Carol and The Danish Girl caught my attention with their wonderful trailers, because I am not interested in the same sex More precisely, the attention and love of films about women's human nature far outweigh other genres. Sure enough, it grabbed my heart! Soft yet resilient like a woman!

For this impulsive film review, it seems that I don't want to analyze the plot at all, and even forget how my previous film reviews were written. It is the journey of finding such a beautiful man to become a beautiful woman that makes me appreciate the charm of women even more! Although I have the habit of observing people, I have never observed whether the people who appear to be biologically different are consistent inside and outside. There will be girls around me who are too masculine in their words and deeds, and some shy men who are often very feminine. I don't find it weird and uncomfortable, I just focus on being real. Writing and writing reminds me of the history of women becoming women in Beauvoir's The Second Sex. The process of becoming a woman, from my free-thinking point of view, always mixes with anger and grievance, because that history is the humiliation of humiliation and obedience, the alternation of necessities and appendages. After thousands of years of confusion and repression before women can truly be themselves or find their own way, women can finally find a better place in history with the help of social recognition and science. Independent, confident, elegant, to discover, to pursue, to imagine, to think, to love!

Back to the movie itself. The trailer shows several important moments in the protagonist's life, each of which is advancing the development of the plot, until Lily becomes herself. The plot description of the film is very natural and complete. After watching it, there is no place that makes me feel doubtful, and some of it is the inspiration for me to discover more about the beauty of women. The story goes from Denmark to France, from France to Germany, from Germany back to Denmark to Germany, and finally completes the complete Lily. Denmark is the place where the female plot is born, and France makes the protagonist feel the joy of being appreciated and praised by everyone as a beautiful woman, thus further showing the characteristics of women. Meeting a German doctor who understands him opens up the danger of finding his true self. Exciting opportunity. In Germany, I gave myself the opportunity to enjoy a half-woman's body, but I was treated as a complete woman, while returning to Denmark to experience the pride and happiness of an independent woman prompted her to quickly fulfill her wishes. Finally in Germany, at the moment when her life is about to die, Lily becomes a complete woman happily, and next to her weeping is another Danish woman who loves her, supports her and understands her.

The actor's acting skills are undeniable. Eddie perfectly interprets the process of mental and physical changes. The subtlety and grace of women make me feel ashamed that I don't know myself so well. Alicia brings a gifted, independent and confident female painter, husband's wife, and Lily's friend to a close and true blend. For the witnesses of this transformation process, Gerda's pain, contradiction, confusion, persistence, understanding, and concern are displayed one by one in front of the audience.

Dressing is also what I like about the film. The sensual description of women's silk fabrics makes me feel the beauty of touching the fabrics in space, and it is this beauty that expresses the femininity of women. In addition, the artistic atmosphere shown everywhere in the film makes me feel that I am appreciating rather than watching. Think of a sentence in "The Room That Doesn't Exist": Get out! You will fall in love with this world! Yes, I fell in love with the world in the movies. During the day, it is a bustling life, and the streets are full of people; at night, the sky, houses, rivers, and distant mountains are full of colors and colors. The eyes convey a smile, the corners of the mouth express joy, and the canvas depicts the beauty of women.

Just let that silk scarf float in the evening wind in my hometown. Those five graceful trees are witnesses of memory.
