The film to be told today is the story of two Danish girls. They are from Denmark. At first they were husband and wife. Both of them are famous painters. The husband is quite handsome and the wife is beautiful. They are very happy.

However, later on, they became sisters.

The huge wheel of marriage is turned over as soon as it is turned over. It makes people feel that the world is changing and there are no surprises. The film's director Tom Hooper has directed "The King's Speech" and "Les Miserables" and is well known to the audience.

"The King's Speech" brought him an Oscar for Best Director. This time, the new work "The Danish Girl" once again competed in the Olympics and won the best supporting actress. The winner was Alicia Vikander, who played the role of the wife in the film.

The medieval European-style architecture, costumes, and scenery in the film have become a major attraction for the audience. Of course, these credits must be attributed to clothing and photography. The costume design of the film was praised as "a godsend and extraordinary", and Hopper's royal photographer Danny Cohen presented a delightful Denmark on the big screen. The gimmick of "the world's first transgender man" really attracts audiences. The film is adapted from a true story, telling about the transgender experience of the world's first transgender person, Lily Alber, who discovered his man by chance. There is a girl's heart hidden in his body, and then he became the first transgender person in the world through six sex reassignment operations. During this period, he dissolved his marriage with his wife. He tragically died in the last uterus transplant operation. 49 years old. After Lily Albert died, his wife lived a life of poverty. After the film was released, some people shouted: "chasing myself until I'm broken", "thank you for letting me be myself", "being brave to be myself", but I want to say that even these things can't stop me from complaining about this film.

The story takes place in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, in 1926. His wife Gerda Webner and her husband Aina Wegener are both painters. A couple of young literary and artistic people get together, and their lives are romantic and happy. Their room is a studio, with beautiful women, talented people, oil paintings, and cute dogs.

The work of his wife Gerda was not recognized at first, because "you can really be a first-class painter, if you can find the right subject". An unfinished oil painting was placed in the room. The girl in the painting was a friend who danced ballet. Because the friend was unable to attend the rehearsal, her husband Aina became a temporary backup model. At first, he was clumsy and sluggish.

However, he soon entered a happy state after the veil was approved. At this time, the nervous music and the actor's detachment completed the mental process of his transformation into a girl. The external performance is that his orchid pointed out......

I could hear his heartbeat and breathing speeding up because of his nervousness, and the reason why he was instantly possessed. In his words, he likes girls' clothes, which are extremely soft.

Then, the husband's femininity is aroused, and out of control, the wife bought a new silk pajamas. Facing the seductive wife, his reaction was really beautiful, but he was not referring to the wife, but pajamas!

Further development, the pajamas came to the husband, who began to secretly wear his wife's ladies' clothes. Finally, I'm going to show my true colors in front of my wife! The wife's reaction was unexpected, she said "beautiful", and then began to gently lift his dress.

Historically, Aina's wife Gerda was actually bisexual, but it was not explicitly stated in the film. Soon, at a party, Aina appeared in women's clothing, claiming to be Aina's cousin and changing her name to Lily. It has to be said that the freckled actor Eddie Redmayne was right to worry.

Before the film started, Eddie Redmayne was apprehensive and worried that his female dress would not look good enough, and then I found out Lily's real prototype. In contrast, Eddie looked like a pervert. The real Lily in history is charming and charming.

Especially the close-up shots of stripping naked in front of the mirror and hiding their male genitals between their legs are more or less uncomfortable for straight men. The role of Aina was originally planned to be played by Nicole Kidman.

Faced with her husband's female desire, the wife is anxious on the one hand, and uses her husband's desire for money and fame on the other. Her other paintings were repeatedly rejected by publishers, but when she began to paint her husband in female costumes, the work was favored and she was even invited to Paris to develop.

In Paris, Gerda's work was recognized, and he met Hans, an old friend of many years, Eina's childhood friend.

This Hans is also real in history, but not as Gerda's lover. The film erases the ambiguous emotional relationship between Lily and Hans. Although Lily in the film thinks that God has mistaken her gender and pretends to be a girl, in the film he repeatedly emphasizes that he loves his wife and does not behave excessively with other men. This has concealed the romantic side of the real Lily in history, and Lily in the film has been portrayed as a synonym for "purity". In Paris, Lily meets a doctor who claims to make him a real woman.

Although there are risks of infection and failure, these risks have been completely downplayed and ignored by the director in front of Lily's desire to become a woman, so it gives the impression that this operation is not that terrible, and this move is not that great, Then he happily came to the hospital for sex reassignment surgery.

After his first operation, he began to appear in public arm in arm with men.

When the wife saw this scene, she could only turn around and pretend she didn't know each other, leaving the world with the loneliest and saddest back.

Lily's entire transgender process is indeed attracting attention. Coupled with the appreciation of all kinds of beauty in the film, Lily has become an inspirational figure in the audience's mind who dares to break the routine and pursue herself. But I don't think he is a Danish girl. The real Danish girl in my heart is his wife. Facing her beloved husband, she suddenly chooses to become a woman one day. , But at this time, this beautiful wife not only does not get love, but also takes care of her transgender husband like a man. This kind of pain cannot be compared with words.

Although she was in pain, she cared more about her husband's feelings. When the husband told the doctor that he was actually a woman, the wife did not hesitate to say "I believe it" in order not to make him feel lonely.

She can give up her lover for his happiness, instead she is always caring for her husband as a sister, and supports her husband with tolerance built on her own pain from beginning to end. This kind of responsibility is even more than a man's sense of responsibility. Intense, lonelier, strong and broken in an instant. There is a distance in the world: it is called the wedding ring you gave me on my ring finger yesterday. Today, you abandoned your vows and became a woman. Yesterday we kissed our lips, but today we can only kiss our cheeks. Yesterday we slept in bed together. , Today she needs to use a baffle as a wall; yesterday, she was still in the arms of her lover, and today she is beyond recognition.

She even dreamed that her husband was married, with a man. The marriage was slowly slipping away, and she didn't even have a chance to work hard, because she couldn't keep a woman in a woman's way.

The wife didn't yell like an ordinary woman, and she didn't tease her husband. She couldn't fall asleep when she looked at her sleeping husband. She could only get up in the middle of the night and look at her face and draw his face to release the intense pain. brightly painted. This may be the most accurate expression of a painter's happiness and pain. Pain is also creating, and joy is also creating. This is very different from his wife's reaction in a film "Intoxicated by the Spring Breeze" directed by Lou Ye. In the film, the wife suspects that her husband is having an affair, and finds a detective to follow him. What she did not expect is that her husband is having an affair with a man. Under the collapse, she finds the mistress's unit and makes a scene. The husband breaks up with the mistress, but chose suicide.

Although "The Evening of Spring Breeze" is not as good-looking as "The Danish Girl", the problem is very realistic. In the last 30 minutes of "The Danish Girl", Lily begins to talk about the process of Lily's sex reassignment surgery. The rhythm of this section is sometimes depressing and sometimes brisk. The torture in the hospital is painful, but no matter how painful, his wife is by his side. about.

After the operation, the satisfaction that he is one step closer to a real woman brings him comfort and happiness. She even has her own job, doing perfume sales in a department store, and generously holding hands with men as a woman. Walk through the streets.

The last operation was unsuccessful and Lily died.

I wonder how broad-minded a woman must be to accept such a sudden change. The whole film avoids many realistic problems, such as Lily being shaped as a pronoun of "purity", and what we see is an aestheticized Lily. In the real history, the cost pressure of Lily's surgery is actually far greater than the pain of his surgery. In the 1930s, attitudes towards transgender and homosexuality were pacified and flattened. The relationship between husband and wife was on the verge of collapse. The director has repeatedly embellished the entire film with beauty and aestheticization, so that the complex and intertwined branches of the film are cut off, and only one line is expressed, that is, Lily is the first transgender person in the world, and this film is to pay tribute to her! However, I don't like it. The creative attitude of avoiding the most important things seems so flattering and superficial, just like the ripples on the water, beautiful but without depth. Real cruelty and sternness can move me even more, I have passed the age of companionship with fairy tales, fantasy is a momentary gorgeous and beautiful after all, reality is the most addictive beauty, it stings you, but it will last forever. Unforgettable, keep in mind! Finally, fans who want to know Lily's true story can go to Lily's autobiography "Man into woman".
