I'll just comment on two points,
1. Why are the two heroines' attitudes towards come out so different?
2. Is Delphine a coward?
1. The growth, education and character of the two people are very different. Obvious things, such as D grew up in a relatively conservative and traditional environment, and Carol, who has been in Paris for many years, has been exposed to more advanced ideas. I won't discuss these too much. What's more interesting is that as D, who was born as a Lara, her attitude towards come out is very refusal and panic. Instead, C, who fell in love with a girl later, seems to be more open and more willing to come out of the closet (or ignore other people's opinions). The stark contrast between the two is the driving force of the whole plot.
A lot of people around me, including myself, are the opposite of this setup - born lesbians, generally trying to figure out a way to come out, and those who like girls the day after they are hesitant. So this setting in the movie made me think for a long time. I think in a way it describes a subconscious struggle (though maybe not intended) : D Because she's gay by nature, she doesn't have much choice, and part of her struggles come from this – she She likes girls, she doesn't like boys. As for C, although it cannot be said that she can choose who she falls in love with, at least she is likely to like boys, but what she likes now is that D happens to be a girl, which is a relatively free state, similar to Because of the right to choose, I will be more firm in my choice.
2. Is Delphine a coward? Some people think to criticize her, some people will have compassion for her. Actually, I think both of them are cowards. And it's ok. Who is not a coward in love? They are all concerned with gains and losses, and they all want to cover everything. D loves herself, her family, and C. She has done many things to balance these, but in the end she has to choose. And C, gave up all kinds of Paris, came to D's house, desperate to be with D, which caused more or less psychological pressure on D, and at this time D was not able to cope with these pressures of.
The important point, which is purely a personal opinion, is that I think the most unfortunate thing is that the strengths of the two people have not been integrated, and they have not been used in one place. Both are actually very powerful people with greater potential, both psychologically and competently. If two people want to be together, they must understand each other better, which requires a lot of communication and concessions. In the story, the two heroines don't have much productive communication, they are basically passion, mutual appreciation, and insecurity under the oppression of reality. For example, C came all the way to D's house, in fact, he just wanted her to be with her firmly. And D just can't give C these things because of her behavior, that is to say, she can't run away from home immediately to be with her. D also expressed that he was afraid of others, and then he couldn't abandon his family. C just emphasizes that you have to live for yourself! D doesn't want to live for herself, but she just can't do it. What's the use of talking about it. . . What C said (emphasizing that you have to live for yourself) was partly because of her beliefs, but also urged D to determine the future with her earlier. If everyone can stand in each other's shoes and feel it, C can feel D's struggle, D can feel C's desire, no hesitation and insecurity, and each other can think of a better solution. There are many specific words. For example, C can let D go without being in such a hurry, and help her deal with the farm things together (short-term and long-term planning), and D can also give her a little more firmness in a way that C can see. Although there are so many "though", "but", "if" in life, I would say that life is really not so much involuntary. Hope everyone can have their own happiness.
