If this film is a slightly revival coloring with a cool yellow and blue tone and the Great Northern Europe as the stage background, then the actors in this film are even more colorful. Eddie's comrade-like appearance this time is more like his "old line", which makes people think that he is absolutely amazing. He is shy, restrained, but has an incomparably surging and indulgent character, which constantly enriches the character and reflects the inner fear of the character. Uneasy and ridiculous air. The male protagonist's performance is more about adding personal characteristics after abandoning the original role setting, which is bold and true. When the camera keeps switching, he tries to understand the current self-feelings, digs the deep Anima, through hiding the penis, imitating the prostitutes, wearing underwear and so on until the final complete sex change, you can't help but admire the new Oscar actor once again After the cannon, she is a docile girl who overcomes the rigidity with softness. This "Danish girl" is too addicting. And the film talks about another important character must be Gerda played by Alicia, the "founder" of Lily, who buried this indulgent love with his own hands.
When I first watched the film, I didn't think Alicia had the temperament of a Nordic artist (although she was really Danish), but her Gerada portrayed the story in a delicate and moving way. As Einar's wife, the experience of a stand-in made Einar have a strong interest in himself and gradually became out of control. Gerda's transition from lively to melancholy, self-blame and sadness, Alicia's interpretation is superb. Speaking of which, when I finished watching this film, I remembered a saying that Marina, the mother of performance art, said: "Artists cannot be in love with artists". At this moment, I understand the Elbe couple who stand as artists to each other. They both understand each other that their pursuit and love for each other cannot be stopped. This kind of love requires freedom. At the beginning of the film, Gerda thought from the standpoint of men. Einar said when she fell in love that Gerda used to be the active party. She also wanted to be as successful and recognized as Einar's artistic creation. As the artist Alica played Gerda has a strong and daring side, but when she sees her husband kissing a man with her own eyes, she panics and the problem is coming. In the film, the male protagonist is not only the constant transition of gender, but the female protagonist is more of a gender transition in terms of viewpoints. The similarities between the two are in the artist's point of view, and the difference lies in the meaning interpreted by the female protagonist. She has always played the role of giving love. Even if she is in pain, she wants to be a "Danish girl" and is protected but can't do anything. She needs to tide over the difficulties with her husband and share his worries. So what this character shows is that her husband loves her and makes her condone everything to him. Her strength actually accommodates his introverted willfulness. This is because she loves him and has been blaming herself and paying compensation to fulfill his search for the real let him A happy lifestyle is the embodiment of true love. Gerda's strength and tolerance lacked a certain sense of security, so she met Hans as the only support in Paris, and maintained Einar's love for each other during this period, until she witnessed her husband's death before tears filled her eyes. The gradual sadness in the whole film is relieved when the male protagonist dies, which is wonderful and moving. I believe that many people are very saddened by Einar, and even more saddened by Gerda. Alicia's performance is indispensable.
In addition to the impeccable acting skills of the actors, the film still has some shortcomings. In fact, the whole film fluctuates more evenly, but it loses some unified elements. Some plots are too simple and should be richer. For example, in the second half of the Einar surgery, it should be a climax. The second half of the film feels a little sloppy. I think more emotional interpretation should be added to explain the emotional intertwining of Einar and Gerda after the transition. This relationship will change. It is much fuller, and in fact some silent scenes in the film have become a bit redundant.
We may not know the ending of the real legend between the real Elbe couple, but looking at their moving and bizarre stories in the film, it is not only about a legend of a character who wants to live out himself, but also in order to fulfill a lifestyle that truly makes each other happy, transgender The heart of tolerance, those are true love legends that are truly connivable and rare.
