In all fairness, although the movie is a good movie, because of such road movies that purify the soul or regain family affection during the journey, there are too many in the United States. The rice flower movie "RV" also took a similar route, so if it weren't for the outstanding actors, the movie's rank would definitely drop a lot. But the reason why the movie is so rewarding is that it has chosen the right actors.
We have seen a lot of men disguised as women ("Mr. Duss", "Slim Nanny"), and it is not uncommon for women to disguise as men ("Boys Don't Cry", "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves"), where a female character can play a man who was originally a man , a character who wants to be transgender is indeed rare, and its difficulty can be foreseen. Hoffman is not really an actress with outstanding looks, and her facial features are indeed marked with a sense of rough edges and corners. After delicate makeup treatment, she really caught everyone's attention as soon as she appeared on the stage. Sometimes it has to be said that an actor may be born for a certain role. After that, Hoffman's performance can be said to be assisted by gods and performed in one go. From the image to the sound, to the handling of every subtle movement, every move, every move, a sensitive, delicate, restrained, and restrained transgender person comes alive on the screen.
The story is narrated naturally and fluently. It not only contemplates and accepts people with different colors, but also solves and ends up the family problems caused by the problems of different colors. It can be said that it uses a seemingly warm method to express a love story. Actually a tough topic. I won't say much about the direction of the story, it's not jerky or difficult to understand, nor is it boring and boring. If you choose a leisurely afternoon, you can basically read it smoothly. The author of the film does not express his own views much, and he still hopes to use the language of the camera to explain. There are two of the few lyrical expressions, and the most important one happened when the son discovered the secret of his father, and he couldn't accept it for a while, and it was extremely difficult in public. Full of sarcasm and abuse. The protagonist walks back to his car in a stiff but self-respecting way, and speaks twice in a firm tone: "It's just that my physical condition and psychological needs are different, and that doesn't mean I'm a liar." So do you think I'm not qualified to go to church? My body may not be the same as others, but my soul is clean. God created me and made my body like this, so I have to endure it and experience it with God It's the same, waiting to be reborn." How good it is to say, she is not so confident, nor does she love herself much, but she has a soul and lives with faith, which is worthy of respect. The son was sarcastic: "You have to cut what God gave you!" Her answer was even more shocking: "You didn't cut it? Just replace it with other methods!" (His son has a tendency to take drugs) Yes Ah, in fact, in the face of life, everyone is doing things that others seem unimaginable in one way or another, just laughing at a hundred steps.
Some people criticized the ending, saying that it was not exciting enough. Isn't that bloody enough? I don't quite agree, and I feel that the commenter really doesn't know much about life. This is a very open ending, what will happen to the protagonist, what will happen to her and her family? In fact, life will continue unpredictably like this, how can there be so much blood.
Speaking of actors, Felicity Hoffman of that year unfortunately lost at the Oscars to the blond Witherspoon who also had a great breakthrough that year. It is really a pity. Expanding on Hoffman's more than ten years of experience after acting in this movie, there is really no wonderful performance that she can perform. Maybe she has emptied herself for this role. Fortunately, she still has time to try and break through. It suddenly occurred to me that the same year she won the Golden Globe Award for leading role, and even went a step further than her. The fat man who won the Oscar is also called Hoffman. It is really a historical coincidence. Both of them are called Hoffman. , they all played supporting roles in the film circle, and they have been running around for so many years, and they have all broken through themselves and won honors because of a character with such a strange color. The difference is that this Hoffman still has time, and that Hoffman will never have the opportunity to break through anything...
