First of all, have you ever thought that it is easy to construct a seemingly completely symmetrical version of this film: the intersex Alex is male and female in appearance and a lesbian Lori (call her Alvaria). The girl, Alvaria, visits the intersex alex family with her mother (a doctor). Alex appears as a boy and seduces Alvaria to have sex. Alvaria wasn't interested in men but couldn't help being curious and was lured into the cabin with Alex. After a while, he was shocked to discover the secret of Alex's other half; Alvaria's lesbian temperament broke ALex to the ground. Afterwards, Alex apologized to Alvaria for crying because of his boyish appearance. Alvaria promiscuously said: Why should my brother and sister be like this, why don't we have sex again. Who would have thought that Alex said, no, no way. I don't like your type, you know it right away. Alvaria and the audience were saddened.

After that, the three slutty girls in town ganged up on ALex, who looked like she was too handsome. ALex was reluctant to struggle with the middle and lower body standing up and being caught by the lead girl. Fortunately, Qian Junyi was rescued. When the enlightened mother asked whether to call the police, Alex made a light promise, that is, he didn't mind that the whole town knew his intersex secret.

The above plot seems to be the same, and it seems to be in line with the theme of the film "I am me, I will not change me". Why didn't the director/writer do that? Why is Alvaro a gay lady? Why is ALex not male and female but female and male? Why did you get an actress to play ALex instead of a boy? All movies (assuming it is a good movie) are like a good poem "You don't wake up in spring, you hear birds sing everywhere" and so on, all its contents are irreplaceable: no words can be changed, no waste lens. Reflected in this film: Gay must be gay, Rory must be Rory. In the eyes of the director/screenwriter: a woman's weakness is not weakness, but a man's. So if gay ALvaro becomes lesbian Alvaria, then her female weakness doesn't deserve to be the reason Alex doesn't like her. Her weakness can't be used as a stark contrast to help Alex recognize his own identity and assert himself. If Alex is the one who gets pushed down during sex, the director/writer obviously doesn't think it's possible to convince the audience that Alex has a strong "I am me" aura. So, Alex has to be a woman inside and Alvaro has to be a man inside.

As for why the director thinks so? This is the director/writer psychology. At the beginning, I was still struggling to say why the film was a male director who didn't readily come up with the symmetrical lesbian alvaria version (obviously more attractive to ordinary male audiences); however, the fact is that the director + screenwriter are young literary women. In female psychology: 1. Millennium culture defaults to men as dominance2. The pursuit of oneself is always intended to surpass the superego of the male society. This pair of contradictions often appears in the literary and artistic works of women or men who admire women by depicting a weak male character (alvaro) and a female character who is soft on the outside and firm on the inside (represented here as an independent alex). Then, women have the magical function of overthrowing men in this film, which is enough to expand the masses of young women. In the end, Alex was humiliated by three boy villains, once again reflecting the director's disdain for ordinary men.

The only positive male in the film is Alex's father. Why? No matter how strong a woman is, even if she despises men and ridicules thousands of men, as long as she is straight, there will always be a man who is hers.… The image of a charitable, enlightened and tolerant father is the most direct symbol of this special man. Go back to the background of the director's family background to better understand.

A basically logical literary film is the best way to understand the inner world of the director/writer. Bad movies are hard.
